A Comfy Muzzle.. Is there a thing? Digi is going to kill herself if this keeps up.

A chain in the house is probably not a good idea. Who knows what she would get hung up on and she may try to get loose and hang herself. I'm stumped. If you have a yard can you keep her fenced in or buy a kennel so she can have run of it during the day and bring her inside in the evening.

I'm grasping at ideas here for you. But is there anyone that lives near you that you could trust to come over mid-day and let Digi out (of her kennel) to potty and play with her for a bit?

Also, I'm not clear on one thing. You say you lock her in the living room. Is the living room connected to the kitchen? Because your problem was her getting into the kitchen garbage or anything off the kitchen floor. If yes, is there a way to block the kitchen off from the living room? Baby gates or something.

I hope you can find a way to keep her safe and happy. I know how upsetting it can be when you worry about them.

I'm 12 stories up & Digi is the type of dog to jump after a pidgin, so the door is locked & she's never allowed on it.

This is to give a rough idea of the layout

Kitchen entrance is to the right of the front door

The couch blocks access to the dinning area (temp storage area) & access to the other entrance to the kitchen

The hall to the bathroom & bedroom

You probably hadn't seen my post yet when you posted. But from your pictures it looks like you could get baby gates. Actually it looks like you already have one there by the hallway entrance. If she jumps it just stack two on top of each other. We do that when we have to leave the dogs for too long. Your living room is HUGE!! And hardwood flooring. That is doggie heaven!!
