We have an escape artist! - 05-05-2008, 07:09 PM

My new female corgi pup is a little stinkin escape artist! At night time she, and our other 3 dogs (including a male corgi pup), sleep in the kitchen by means of an accordian gate and they have a dog door out to the porch. Well, she discoverd that she's still small enough to fit under the gate so most mornings my husband and I wake up to our addorable little pup begging to come to bed with us! That's okay for now, because she'll get bigger and stop crawling under the gate. But here is my problem:

Just a few minutes ago my husband was out in the yard and he called me outside. The puppy had squeezed through the railing on our porch and fell about 4 1/2 - 5 feet to our front yard! It didn't even phase her, she got right up and started to explore the front yard! I'm afraid that it will happen when we're not home and she'll either get hurt- or escape from the front yard too and get lost or hit by a car... we can close the dog door while we're gone, but that keeps the other 3 dogs locked up too and they'll potty in the house. Does anyone have any advice? We have a puppy pen we can keep her in, but I dont' want her to feel punished... help please!
