<human>: My 16 month old pug/spaniel mix is a very affectionate, sweet hearted dog that I've had since she was a 14 week old pup. She's very bright and has learned sit, lay down, drop it, shake, and walks well on a leash.  She gets about an hour or so of walking everyday with some sprints mixed in at the beach park (about 3.5 miles total).  My problem is, she gets gated off to either the upstairs hall/my room, or, if I'm downstairs, the living room. She "cant" hang aline with my mom or dad because she grabs things (esp. Tissues napkins or socks/shoes) and will eat them or chew them, respectively. She also is an opportunist food thief.  When with me, it's rarely an issue and even when we are all sitting together, she's generally good. I want to know any tips possible so she doesn't have to be confined and or can spend time alone with them while I'm home, or can roam around freely if we are all in different rooms.  She's plenty exercised as in addition to the walks we also use 3 different puzzle toys, play fetch on the house, and she gets bones to chew or her favorite plush to snuggle.  Ideas?  Commemts?  Thanks guys!!!

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
