There were times when Odin was younger that I deliberately shut him out of my room and he'd rattle the door and get told "no". So he learned that rattling it is rude, but now, when the door is closed but not specifically to keep him out, I have to pay attention for the sound of him trotting up to the door and then just standing there in complete silence, staring at it, psychically willing it to open it keeps opening, so clearly he *does* have psychokinetic powers

    @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange my family dog (papillon) went blind in his later years, but he was so passive and chill that if he got “lost” in the house (aka ended up behind a door instead of going through it), he’d just quietly wait to be saved. Never made a peep. We’d notice he was missing and have to go looking.

    @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange you might accidentally train him to think he’s Bolt 🤔

  • @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange our sweet boy has been taught good door manners and so won’t push his way through cracked doors unless they’re opened for him. Sometimes this means that if I leave a door cracked without thinking about it I’ll look at it later and realize that a beast has been sitting on the other side of it and staring at me for an indeterminate amount of time.

    @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Our dog used to just open doors himself by jumping up and moving the door handle down with a paw and then opening the door wider with his paw and/or nose... I doubt Odin would even need to jump up to do this.... We had to change all the door handles in the house from having a horizontal resting position to having a vertical resting position to make him stop.... Note: we didn't get this dog as a puppy, so a previous family might have trained him to do this...
