Thank you! Great suggestions! I will definitely use these. We are training him to sit before we fully enter the door. He did it twice! We don't crate him or keep him in the kitchen. He doesn't need it. He is completely house trained and doesn't destroy our stuff. He really is a great dog. He is totally my shadow! He follows me everywhere. I can't even switch the laundry without him following me to the basement! We'll establish "his space".
