Dillon has access to his potty pen by going to the back door, ringing his bell, then miraculously it opens ( yes it is me!) and he then goes out on the deck and there is a swinging doggy gate there that when i open it he runs down the steps and is in his fenced in pen. Well normally i let him hang out on the deck only and only let him down to go potty in the potty pen... The reason for this? well, the one and only time i let him down in the penned area and then went back in the house, i realized he was not scratching at the back door to come in and it was awfully quiet out there. I went and checked on him and found he had discovered the art of digging. he was trying to dig a big hole...I was not happy- after filling the hole and then correcting him every time he went next to it, he stopped that. but since then, i watch him when he is in the potty area, once he is done doing his business in there, i have him come up on the deck and i close the gate down to his potty area and he hangs out on the deck until he is ready to come inside..then he "scratches" on the glass of the door...and the door miraculously opens again ( yeah, now you all know what i do all day long LOL!)
