All wonderful suggestions, thank you. I have a long road ahead of me in this area as he shreaks like a maniac whenever I even go near the front door and he's in his x-pen or crate! It's funny because while he loves to run away, at the same time he has terrible separation anxiety and goes crazy at the first inkling that I may leave. So that's my first challenge...being able to go to the door while he's secure in his crate/x-pen AND calm.
