My home is "fenced and crossed fenced"!! To get out the front door, my dogs have to go through at least two gates from any direction. And in the event I have repairmen in the house, I add a free standing gate across the foyer, blocking off the front door....I consider this a matter of life and death for any of my Yorkies, and I do not trust them to obey any training they have had, over the natural instinct to give chase to some darting, scurring little fuzzy creature, like a cat or squirrel!
