We have blinds at the door and when Magnus started touching the blinds, I'd open the door. I think around 2 weeks, this went on and I think he understood that if he does that, he can go outside. If I'm not paying attention, he'll look at me to see if I'm looking back. If I'm still not paying attention, he'll come and bark at me, then go back to the door and touch it again.
Have you thought about a doggie door? Or is that not an option for you? I'd like to have one but the way my door is, I can't install one... |
