Hi to my YT experts! My Molly scratches at the door to go in and out. Now that doesn't sound bad, I want her to let me know when she has to go, but I live with my son and DIL and my DIL hates it when she scratches on the door. I don't blame her at all - she's scratching the door a lot. Now when she scratches on the INSIDE, I say no and she stops and comes over to me and whines to go out. That's fine - I'm OK with that.

But, when she's OUTSIDE she runs to the door and scratches like we've never let her in before. When I go to the door, I make her sit before she comes in, but it hasn't stopped that initial stratching!

Anybody have any good ideas about how to stop that scratching? Thanks!
Kathy
