That is not what I meant at all. What I was suggesting is that she give them a little more privacy by giving them a larger room and like I told her elsewhere....keep the door open just enough so that they think they are alone but you can watch and enter as needed. This of course only works if you don't need to assist the pair in tieing. I had my eye on mine the ENTIRE time and entered the second they tied.
Also, I never said I had difficulty with this for myself. What I said was that I tried the gate idea and it didn't work for my pair....so I put them in a larger room and gave them the feeling that they were alone.
Sorry you misunderstood.
