This is great advice. Thank you!
The reason for the pen: I was told to NEVER leave the baby alone with the dog. For good reason. My 11 month old crawls and walks a little and flits from room to room all day. If he goes into his bedroom, I usually don't follow him. I can hear him through the monitor. But if Triss is loose, I would be worried that she may get in there. Or like today, Triss was sitting with me and the baby and she bit him. I let her out as much as possible, but I can't see a way around doing it this way until it gets better through trying your advice.
