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's overstated. It's a real rocket scientist cat that
even knows its own name. Rare that dogs don't.

That has to be true if you compare them to dogs. Dogs can be trained to do
what you want,

Some can, some can't. Particularly with never
going out of the front yard with no gate.

while cats train you to do what they want!

It is actually possible to train them
to do what you want them to do too.
