Detailed explanation-1: -This behavior is not hardwired into the dog’s DNA; it is learned behavior, or a conditioned response (usually barking) to a conditioned stimulus (doorbell or knock). The dog learns through repeated exposure that when the doorbell rings, you jump up and open the door to reveal a person on the other side.
Detailed explanation-2: -Encourage him Once he understands to touch the door with his paw, gently push his paw down on the handle until the door opens. He may need you to do this for several days before he fully realizes the world he’s just unlocked. Each time he successfully opens the door, give him a treat and verbal praise.
Detailed explanation-3: -Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences. By watching their mother, baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat. This is an example of learned behavior.
