Coming here with a new-to-me problem only to find out that it's fairly common.
Moved into our first house about 6 weeks ago. In no time at all my dog has figured out how to open doors with tilt up/down handles. Any time I leave the house, even for 30 minutes, I come back to find numerous open doors; closets, bedrooms, storage room, workshop room, pantry... One time I was gone for a few hours and came back to SEVEN open doors!
She gets into the workshop and drags sawdust all over the house. A few days ago I forgot to the lock the interior garage door, and while backing up into said garage nearly ran the dog over - she snuck in there and decided to run right past the truck while I was backing up. A week ago I was bringing items into the workshop through the workshop's exterior door when out of the blue she bolted outside through the same door (opened the interior one).
It's funny to read about this, but in practice it is SO annoying. And I can't seem to catch her in the act to correct the behaviour.
Short of changing all door handles to the twist ones, is there anything else I can try?
