I have no children in my home, but I still have gates up to block all my entry doors.
I agree, children are more easily trained than yorkie but there's times a yorkie can be faster than children or adults!
Yazmin's been trained to sit and stay, but she lost her mind over the smell of chicken when a delivery man brought my dinner last summer.
She was sitting and was told to "stay" just moments before I opened my door to hand the guy a $20.00 bill for a $5.00 chicken dinner. In a instant, Yazmin slipped passed me before I could even think to react! She wanted the man's attention but he didn't care so she ran off my porch and into the street, twice before I could catch her.
In the meantime, the delivery man left my dinner but took off with a hefty $15.00 tip!
I was horrified and in disbelief that Yazmin did not "Stay"! That was enough for me, I had a gate up the very next day!
Much better to be safe than sorry.
