When we are gone, we put Scout in the kitchen with a doggie door. He is only 5 months, so I don't yet trust him to wander around the house. Well, this weekend he figured out how to climb up and over the kiddie gate that keeps him in the kitchen. I must admit that it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen (Scout is 8 inches tall and the gate is 32 inches). However, now I am not sure how to confine him. I tried putting a towel over the gate, the garbage can in front of the gate and he still managed to climb over. My husband has started calling him "spiderman." Any advice?

I have a shih tzu mix who [u][i]loves[/i][/u] people, but will not play with other dogs. I enrolled him in a puppy kindergarten class, and occasionally he will sniff one of the smaller dogs, but refuses to play like the rest of the puppies do. I take him everywhere with me and he is never shy, except when there are other dogs around. Any advice on how to get him to act more like a dog and less like a human?
