I have a beautiful 6 month old golden lab, he is for the most part, really well behaved and a pleasure all round.
However, he has developed a habit of hitting and jumping at the sliding doors when he knows it is almost meal time/s. This means at 6pm every night, and at 7am every morning, he whacks himself against the door, or hits it with his paw repeatedly til he is fed. I have tried not to reward it, tried to tell him no each time he does it, but so far, no good. I am just not sure of the best way to effectively address the problem because at this point, I know I am not dealing with it the most effective way!
I am also a bit worried that next week when daylight savings is over, its going to be 6am that he is waking me!! The door is right next to my 2 year old sons bedroom too, and he is sometimes woken by the banging. As I said, in most respects we have no dramas, this is driving me nuts though, please help!
PS but isn't he SO adorable?!
