Didn’t take long for my dog to figure out how door handles work. We rotated the handles 90 degrees so he couldn’t just lean on them. Took him a few days to figure out how to push them open with his nose. Now we have door knobs on most doors…

I have small dogs that can't reach door handles, luckily, but we have a friend with a border collie who has let herself into our house in the past (our house open onto a green and we often leave the front door unlocked during the day).

She once let herself in, released my dog from the living room, and I glanced out my office window during a zoom meeting to spot them both running laps around my (human) friend on the green outside.

Typical collie always pulling heists and jail breaks.

Collies (and herding dogs in general) are such amazing companions. My gf’s cousin has an Aussie shepherd and to put it candidly she likely would’ve lost her life if he hadn’t woken her up when a fire broke out. Ridiculously smart dogs and amazingly caring and nurturing creatures.

My kitten figured the front door handle out when she was six months old. She would sit and watch every time we opened it and one fine day while my kid and I were playing in the front yard I hear a wild banging (her body against the door) and then it swings open and dis widdle biddy kitty is standing there all proud of herself. Had to start locking it!
