Mine gets free run of the house minus the kitchen and she doesn't do stairs so I have never encouraged her to try because I think it's the best for the both of us and the cat to leave it that way.

She also doesn't have access to one particular bedroom unless someone's there, otherwise, the door to it is usually closed. No baby gates and no kennels in the house. She goes inside on the pad and also outside when it's dry and we take her for a walk.

Same goes for my late shihtzu except that she did do stairs, and she had total free roam of the house unsupervised, including countertops where she'd manage to get up onto to feast on bakery goods.

She thought she was a flying beagle.
