Great post. Thanks.
patience and repetitiveness, they will pick it up, my grandfather had a mutt that learned how to shut the back door when he came in, in about 3 weeks. He knew how to open it, but constantly left it open, so my grandfather repeatedly walked him back to the kitchen, held him up to the door with his paws and said” shut the door”...then after a few weeks of the same routine, the day came when my grandfather yell out to him “shut the door”...he did...a few weeks after that, you didn’t have to yell...*smiles*
