When I first adopted Puff I took him outside on a leash but he was afraid of the outdoors and ran back inside. So I never did that again. Now he runs outside under our feet. I do NOT want him outdoors. At least not without a leash on. I live too close to the interstate and it's not safe out there for him. Is there a way to discourage him from running past us? Obviously we try to be careful when we are going outside. But having a 5 yr old kinda makes that hard. She just opened the door for Kota to come in and Puff ran outside. Thank goodness she caught Puff before he ran off.
