Seeing the light come on in my dog's eyes as I gave him the command to open the refrigerator. He finally got it today! He grabbed hold of the rope and pulled the door open happily! Yes! He was so proud of himself! lol
Next stage is to teach him to fetch me a soda from there, and to go back and close the door.
