We have had Skye for a just over a year, since she was eight weeks old. She is a brilliant, intelligent dog, but we are still have problems with her 'escaping' if anyone leaves the outside door open on leaving or entering the house, and she turns this into a game when we try to get her back. There are so many dogs in the area she loves to go and visit. The neighbours so far have been really understanding, but for how long! When we take her for a walk we can let her off the lead and she comes back on recall. The problem only arises at home. Also due to my parents having been ill and unable to look after her during the day when we are at work, we have built a run and kennel in the garden at the back for her during the day. She has only been in the kennel for two days. The first day was a nightmare for the neighbours with her whining and barking, however we have great neighbours, who are also doggy people and they said she was much better today. Will this just take time for her to adjust? Would appreciate any tips or advice. We love her to bits, and she is such a great character.
