Rowdy and my older Schnauzer have a doggie door and they can come and go as they please when we are here. If we are only going to be gone from the house for an hour or two, we leave them where they can go in and out while we are gone. BUT, the fence is secure, they cannot dig out nor can any other dog dig in. The gate is locked and although I suppose it is possible that someone could scale the fence to get in and take him - it is pretty unlikely. We live in a very urban area and so there is no danger of hawks getting him - so......although I do worry about him some, he loves the freedom of going in and out at will so that is the way we live. If we are going to be gone all day though, we keep them in the house. |
