Keep the dog in?

Train the dog instead?


Easier said than done with that. Lot easier to have a gate.


Easier to train a dog than a cat.* I always thought dogs were the
stupidest animals on earth until I got cats.


Nah, cats are intelligent enough to know not to let us know how
intelligent they are. That has to be true if you compare them to dogs.
Dogs can be trained to do what you want, while cats train you to do what
they want!
