Hey guys!
Just a bit of a question for some of the experts here.
Tasha is a 15 week old Daschund/Chihuahua cross and has been coming along very well. Outside of the periods when she is penned up in our bathroom while no one is home, she is peeing/etc outside and doing well with that...
However... we have a bit of an issue... the dog can now successfully leap over the child gate we placed in the doorway of the bathroom and can escape confinement...
For 3-4 days a week, the dog will be alone for periods up to 6-7 hours at a time, so I do not think I can crate her up yet (I want to start breaking the peeing on the newspaper routine)... however, she can now escape the bathroom over the gate...
I've noticed a couple gnaw marks on the bottom of the door, so of course now I fear closing the bathroom door entirely because I don't want it destroyed...
What oh what shall I do...?
