I leave a 5 foot lead on my cockapoo who is 7 months old when we are in the house. That way I can grab her quicker while we are training. My purpose was more for housebreaking.. but try a 10-15 foot leash. I even tied her to my waist with the longer leash until I felt she was ok w/o my constant attention. If you keep her attached to you or reachable at least it might be easier. Otherwise, teach your kids to get you before they go out in the meantime.
If you live in the Lehigh Valley, PA area I'd recommend Camelot Dog training. They've been a godsent. Good luck. --- pinkyp123 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently rescued a cockapoo, and am having trouble > with him running > out the door every time someone opens it.
