[00:00.49]Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and dark.
[00:06.19]Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.
[00:12.96]As the neighbours complained of the noise,
[00:15.85]my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.
[00:23.41]Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.
[00:26.97]However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate.
[00:34.36]This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!
[00:38.85]Since then, he has developed another bad habit.
[00:43.18]As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.
[00:50.91]Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out.
[00:55.16]After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again.
[01:01.05]Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
