Your concern appears to be safety - perhaps you could use baby gates to cordon off certain areas of the house so she still has the "perception" of freedom
This works for Remy at my parents house - he does not mind being "kept out" of places... but he hates, hates, hates being confined to a place |
Same with Jackson.... HATES confinement lol. When we visit at my dads house, he has free reign of the whole downstairs. The upstairs is blocked off from the dogs mainly because they have 2 cats that stay up there, so it just is less work. And he doesn't mind that.
Jackson's issue is if he can physically SEE me, but can't get to me... he just can't
stand it.

Yup, he's got the whole house. He never does anything but sleeps tho!

It wasn't really something I ever trained him to do... he just never bothered w/ anything when no one was home. Of course, it was/is a different story when we ARE home!
