Ahh, the doting dog grandparents. During the week visiting them, Maya stayed outside most of the day. My parents would open the door for Maya to say hi and throw the frisbee for her anytime she bumped the door knob with her nose or whined/barked.
Back at home, I now hear her outside at the door, whining and giving little barks. It's annoying, and I don't want to bother neighbors. In addition, she has jumped up on the screen door in her attempt to get my attention and went through it (that had to be a surprise for her), adding to my list of weekend projects.
My main thought is to ignore it and hope it stops. Any other thoughts?
If there are curtains or blinds, close them so she can't see in. I never let her in if she is being obnoxious (whining, scratching with a paw). So, yes, first step: ignore.
I also have the luxury of 2 back doors on different sides of the house. I make a point of not letting Maggie in the door she is begging at (used to be jumping on). I wait till a somewhat pause in her behavior and then go to the other door and call her. Then I make her sit before she can come in. I am lengthening that sit time.
What used to be crazy insane jumping on doors and windows, has slowly started to be sitting and looking at the door. And waiting quietly.
Still a work in progress. Some of it may just be that she is growing up. She's 11 months now.
