Thanks everyone! We do have baby gates as well as dog gates to keep them away from doors. My dogs themselves can actually open the dog gates so that's why we ended up getting some baby gates. Everyone in my house steps over them but often guests won't and will actually open them (even the baby gates). I've thought about keeping them in a back room but they would literally bark/cry loudly all day. I have two and the one that would run goes crazy if there's people around and he can't get to them to say hello. The other one is more of a one person dog, I never had a problem with him running. Yorkiemom1, I know what you mean, we've actually yelled at close family member for not paying attention after we told them multiple times and they act like we are crazy. It's frustrating. I'm thinking I might just keep the one that runs on a long leash and tied to a chair or something this way he can still be around us but can't run. I like the sign on the door too as an extra precaution. I'm sure I'll get the one or two guests who thinks I'm crazy for doing that (I have two relatives who think it's annoying that I keep insisting they watch when they open a door) but I don't care, I would rather have them safe. |
