Thanks for replying. I am not sure if I could use an invisible fence there since it is an alley. Can't dig it up or put things on neighbors property. I could place things on my side but not the other side of the alley. My yard is fenced in but he knows which way to run when he gets out. We do use baby gates in the house. When we leave I baby gate him in the kitchen, no carpet. The back door is in the kitchen and our parking area is right outside the door. I understand and agree with the not being able to push a remote in an emergency like what happened last weekend. I doubt I could have gotten a remote that quick. Just not sure what else to try. He just sees the door open and sometimes just wants to rip outside. I can look into the fence thing just to be sure how they work though. we would walk past the area on leash though so idk how that works.
