I have been watching Zahra stretch up to the door knobs and it looks like she is taking her two paws like she is figuring out how to open the door. Has anyone's B mastered opening doors yet?

Mine can not turn round knobs but the ones with the pull down handles, yes. Nicky can also open drawers, cabinets, and a standard refrigerator.

Abbey tried for weeks to figure out how to open the front door. She stood on her hind legs and pawed at the knob. She had this expression on her face like Well, this is how Mommy gets out! If she'd ever hit on the twist not paw concept she'd have been outta here for sure!

Mine can't actually open a door that's closed, but if it's just shut without actually clicking the lock (does that make sense?!), if she is on the inside she can pry it open with her paw.

One of ours can open a unlocked sliding glass door. He opens it one way to go out and a completely different way to come back in.

To go out, he pushes the botton of the door frame where it meets the glass enough that the door opens a few inches for him to stick his nose in and open it the rest of the way. To come back in, he stands up and pushes the outside door handle with his nose.

I've seen him open the door to let the others go out or come back in when he doesn't go out or in himself.:rolleyes:

I wish we could teach him to close the door behind him.:rolleyes:

Aren't they just like real human kids!!!!? My 5 human kids always leave a trail behind them. Joey fits right in!! He hasn't been able to leave the door open unless it has a lever handle.

Mine can open the sliding doors to my bedroom closet. She figured out that if you push on door that's behind, you can make the tiniest little passageway into the closet and get whatever you want that mom has hidden from you, the laundry basket with yummy dirty socks and bras, and mom's shoes.

Alani hasn't quite figured out how to open doors however she does the same thing. She takes both her paws, reaches up and tries to turn the knobs. Very smart indeed.

I have a baby gate that you step on to open, Giz has been found sitting on the step and nudging at the gate. First he used his nose, now he sits and sort of leans against the gate. Luckily he is too light to release the mechanism. He tries to open doors, too but can only open the ones that aren't latched. Once he pulled the fridge door open by the towel on the handle, but we have one with a freezer on bottom so he couldn't quite get to anything inside. He ate the towel instead. We don't leave towles on the fridge door anymore.
