To run, to chase, it's just too much fun. I won't say they can't be trained not to break out, but we sure haven't been able to make it happen. We just work around it. I think the comment "true to the breed" is so right. And then they come back to the fence/gate on the "other" side and side and wait to be let back in with the "who me?" look, you're running around yelling the dogs name the neighbors are looking, you're going crazy, and what do you find, sweetness and light sitting carefully on the outside of the gate. Its no wonder my neighbors think I'm the crazy dog lady LOL |
I don't ever allow mine outside off leash. In fact, westley has been here almost a month and his little feet still haven't touched the soil outside, he's been strictly indoors until 1 more set of shots at least.
We use baby gates inside for boundaries. They all 3 have the run of the dining room, since its tiled and any accidents can be cleaned up with bleach water.
