[Potter]

Pao pretty much have free reign 24/7. We completely trust him and he has been really good for us ever since he was a 6 month old puppy. We do babygate the stairs and leave him upstairs when we go out and that is only because I don't want him running up and down the stairs when we are not around. He also has a lounger upstairs that enables him to look outside and also another peepad upstairs so we feel it is the most comfortable for him to be upstairs when we are out. In case we didn't close the door properly, he wouldn't have the chance to run out either.

The only time we pen him is when we were moving because he has to be able to see us all the time so putting him in the pen is the best way to go while keeping him out of danger. He hates to be crated or penned and behaves really well so 99% of the time, he runs free.
