Our current dogs have some quirks. We have a doggie door for them to use to get outside. The side of the house where the doggie door is has a 2 foot wide sidewalk and a 2 foot wide strip of grass the length of the house. Kinda like a dog kennel. We have a gate at one end so we can lock them into that area to keep them out of the main back yard if we deem that necessary, but 99% of the time it is open. The female will go out on her own and do her business, and then go to the back porch door and bark, like she is trapped on the back porch. If it is in the morning I go let her in to shut her up and not bother the neighbors. During regular daylight hours she will sit out there for a long time waiting to be let in. She could walk around the back of the house and come inside anytime, but she is playing little princess.
