Hi Just had to reply to this, many years ago we had a Boxer mix who was the sweetest girl you can imagine. Her one vice was that she would let anyone in but not let them out.
We were having the house painted but were not sure which day these people were coming. My mother had warned the painters not to enter the yard if we were out and Pal was sitting in the out in the garden. Of course, in they went, climbed up their ladders, finished painting and then tried to leave. They were still perched on their ladders when my mother arrived home some several hours later. We never had anymore problems with people coming into our back yard once we explained what happened to the painters.
