#11 Dog Who Mastered Door Handles
My parents dog learned to open and close their doors. They have doors with door handles not knobs and he very quickly learned he could get on his hind legs and reach them. He didn’t just yank it down. He put one paw on the door frame and the other pushing the handle down and pull back to open.
He understood he would have to pull it from the inside to open it and push it from the outside. He also rang the doorbell on multiple occasions and communicated through eye contact like “hey what do you want?”. Only then I realized how smart he was and I felt bad for just treating him like a dim animal that whole time.
