I havn't done it yet but have considered one of those little contraptions that makes sound that dogs don't like. you can place then hwere you need them and set them for whatever distance you need and the dog will not go to where that sound is. I thought it might be a good thing to try by the door as we are on a quiet dead end but right at the end of it where it meets the main street and cars travel pretty fast up that street. If Teddy got out and ran like a crazy man he would almost definately get hit. It really scares me and I would rather rely on something that makes the decision for him rather than relying on him to listen at a moment when he might be too excited to think. Otherwise I like the gate idea as well.
