We recently converted our spare bedroom into a dog room. All our dogs do really well with Nathan but they sometimes want to get away from him for a little while. We put a baby gate in the doorway, we keep it open most of the time but we can close it if we need to. We put the cushions from our old couches in there for the dogs to lounge on when they go in there. They also have their crates in there. Buster (13 year old chihuahua) and Charlie (9 year old min pin) both LOVE the room. The others like it too, but not nearly as much as Buster and Charlie.
