So does anyone elses' dog(s) have a problem with a screen door.
Baby was a rescue and she didn't even know how to play when we got her, so when she walked into the screen door the 1st time I laugh but felt bad b/c I just thought that she had never been around a screen door. Same w/ our new puppy. But are 3rd dog doesn't even care if the screen is there she trows herself up against it over and over again. (we think she is a little touched in the head but we love her anyway- she was a rescue and sometimes it seems like the lights aren't always on).
So basically all 3 have a problem w/ the screen door. I've never had a problem like this b4 and I'm not sure what to do. I was thinking of putting something on the screen (low) so that they can see the door. The odd thing is that they don't do it to the glass door. You can see through both so I don't get why they don't get it. I think that Baby and the puppy will learn in time but I worry about Mira. She is a 4-5 lbs chi and she just throws herself at the screen door over and over again. She doesn't do this in the kennel or pack'n'play. She almost seems to panic and toss herself at the door to get back inside. She was found out on the streets in Philadelphia so maybe someone kicked her out and she gets scared????? We may never know, but I not sure if I just need to be patient and it will get better or it there are any suggestions. I don't mind being patient. It took Baby almost a yr b4 we could even work on training (sit, etc). She was too scared. And she only just started playing a few months ago (we've had her 2 yrs).
ANY IDEAS???????
Thanks!
