[nagdu] Doors

[Julie J.]

Tracy,

I'd love to be able to work Monty through doors.  Like you I don't want 
to step into something unknown on the other side.  I also know of a 
couple of places where there are steps immediate to the door, which make 
working the dog a much less nerve racking experience! *smile*

My question is for doors that open on the right, hinges on the left, how 
do you keep the door open wide enough so that it doesn't whack the dog 
who is between you and the door?  There's no problem say on the door to 
my home that stays in place when I open it, but what about the doors 
that automatically close when they aren't being held?

I used to work right opening doors as you describe with Tia, but caught 
her feet on several occasions.  Fortunately never bad enough to do 
damage, but still something I don't want to take chances on.

Do I just have short arms or something? *smile*  Seriously though I 
would like to know how you do this.

Julie
