Freedom, (your comment on them waiting for you to open the gate)

I have a Doggy Door and both mine use it FREQUENTLY. In and out many times a day..on their own, however...

If I'm outside, just sitting or actually doing some yard work, Becca will go in and out, but, My Male Sneakers will wait (outside) at the back door, and wait for me to go inside, where he can just walk through with me, instead of having to take the trouble of pushing the flap open on "their" door.

Now, I know that's spoiled, but, the problem is...
Sometimes, when I see him waiting there, I get up and go over and let him in.

Who's got whom trained ?
