I know the dog house won't keep himi from neighbors, but I think Robyn wanted to see it. I think putting a lock is a good idea. Also, he might start barking at them. He barked at the newspaper guy this morning, and he barked at some other people before. It seems, if you stand behind the gate, trying to get it open, and he doesn't know who you are, he'll bark. If you walk up to the gate, and open it, he won't bark. I think he recognizes who his family is and a lot of people have trouble with the gate.
So, those people probably wouldn't get our gate open. If they did, it would most likely take them a while(especially if they were drunk) , and Major would bark. I would come running if I ever heard him bark at night because he hasn't yet once.
Thanks for your opinions guys.
