Thanks for great suggestions! Since Piper knows her leash means going for a walk, I'm concerned that using it as a deterrent (although terrific idea) would confuse her. I was actually contemplating some kind of barrier-block to front door because safety is paramount, but hadn't though of the pen-idea, Ms Verbena. Guess what I'm going to be constructing, creating on my weekend?!!! The concern that you all have shown for Piper's safety and well-being touches me beyond words and my gratitude knows no bounds. I'll let you know how and what kind preventive measures work! "If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving your little one only two of them." |
