I wonder if I could get that dog to tutor my 12 year old son?

Good one! my dog won't go through the wide open door,,, only the dog door!
wfooshee
O, Woe is me!!
Cats, too..... My cat climbs the back yard fence to sleep in the driveway under the car. I'll open the gate and call her, she climbs the fence next to the open gate to get back to the back yard.... or I can open the garage and call her, she climbs the fence into the yard and waits by the door for me to let her in.
But you don't want that dog mad at you when you train him to go through the door, then put the glass back in..... There will be payback!
Creatures are creatures of habit......

That dog isn't as dumb as me when I tried to walk through a screen door with a plate of food. What a mess tacos make.

Hmm, ya, well -- that's happened at out house too, with people. More than once. Other times I'll slide the door open between out kitchen and the deck then our Norwegian Forrest Cat will come streaking through the room running flat out and discover too late the screen door is closed specifically to keep him in. Then there is sort of a tennis racket effect as he gets rebounded back into the room. (Then when we turn our backs, he puts one paw on the door frame, hooks his claws of the other paw into the screen door and slides it open, then our indoor only cat disappears someplace into the neighborhood.)

...
Saw a show that recently covered the deal with dogs and door frames. Once they understand doors, they understand it hurts to smash into them. What I didn't know is that their close-up vision is naturally sucky so when they get close enough to a screen or glass door, they can't see if the mesh or glass is actually there.
Combine the two...

Of course dogs are stupid. How could they love us otherwise?

... so do you have a thought about the women who love us?

Even IF that dog is dumb (I don't think so) he's still smarter than about 80% of the people living in any city in America.

I thought the dog was pretty smart. He understands doors and how they work. I am still having to explain that one to my son and he is 12.

A short parable in response:... so do you have a thought about the women who love us?
A motorcyclist was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head. God appeared, and in a mighty voice said, "Because you are a good, kind, generous and honest person, I will grant you one wish."
The biker pulled over, thought for a moment or two and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."
The Almighty One replied, "Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. Not to mention the disruption to shipping! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of something less materialistic that would please you, and at the same time honor and glorify me."
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "God, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know what makes them love us men, what they are really thinking when they refuse to talk to us, and give us the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say nothing's wrong, and how men can make women truly happy."
After a lengthy pause, God replied,
"Do you want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
