Lesson59 In or out？
Our dog, Rex, usedto sit outside our front gate and bark. Every time he wanted to come into thegarden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complainedof the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latchto let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, whenI was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate.This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he hasdeveloped another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from outside, hecomes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barksuntil someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in andbegins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got soannoyed we have not seen him since.
