I think that it can be done if you wanted to start to teach her to sit & stay and eliminate the gate. Its will take time and maybe some bribes but its possible to get it done. Probably easier with just one than my four !
This was Tibbe's hardest thing of all to learn and it took over 2 years to get him to do it every time but finally, we've been there several months. So proud of him! He didn't get an awful lot of intense training on it either - just as I could manage by myself.
