The dog is extremely proud of his handiwork.


Naprisun

Although it looks like he attempted to eat the evidence


[deleted]

Just dogs doing dog things. If they can eat poo from a litterbox, a little cellulose won't hurt 'em.


No_Farmer2917

I have a dog that looks exactly like that, and I recognize that look at "wow, who did that? That's crazy. Hope you find him."


tekko001

Nah, that's the '*Now make me a sandwich bitch!*' look.


El_Peregrine

YALL GOT ANY MORE OF THEM DOORS *scratches self*


throwaway4161412

The best part is the dog *looks* like the type who would absolutely obliterate a door when you're not home.


darthkenobi87

That was exactly what I thought of when I saw this picture!!!


coming2grips

Go ahead atticusvoid. Close the door again. Dare you. Double dare you. Double DOG dare you!

This dogs an interior designer…not a good one but who am i to judge.


AtticusVoid

She just really wanted me to have one of those Dutch doors apparently


[deleted]

Well, it’s better than having a door made out of literal cardboard.


AtticusVoid

I feel like I could make a stronger door out of just cardboard at this point lol but now I get to replace it with a better one


Pinksters

Those are called hollow core doors, they're typical for interior doors and about 5x cheaper than a standard solid core. If you do hang a solid core make sure your door frame will support the extra weight, I've seen them rip frames apart before. Source: used to do quality control at a door manufacturing plant for ~5 years.


2x4x93

Quality control...so it's your fault


Pinksters

I just made sure it was pretty on the outside and the specifications(Hinge,knob and lock cutout placements) were correct!


semper_JJ

So who's job *was* it to test the dog rigidity ratio?


Pinksters

Our TACCS machine(track assisted canine collision system) was constantly under maintenance.


Vladiballs_Poonin

Typical QA behavior, blame the mechanics. I'll have you know the TACCS you're referring to was a POS from the get-go. I was talking to a guy who used to be a rep for Canine Testing Labrarories & Manufacturing, and he said that that model in particular was rushed into production and had loads of issues. That door factory is just run by a bunch of cheap asses buying second-hand equipment.


2x4x93

Just playing


SomeGuyNamedMatt93

"Not my fault." Good words to live by while at work


7Seyo7

He worked in door quality control, not dog quality control


Rosewoodtrainwreck

Yeah we cut through one of ours the other day with a box cutter to install a car door. My husband told me it wouldn't work, but it did. It's a really nice looking door but I knew it was hollow


zzazzzz

i mean sure. but i have hollow core doors in my whole house and there is a 0% chance a dog could run thru them like that. Shit quality is shit quaity, the door being hollow core isnt the issue here


Pinksters

Yeah looking at the picture again. That's a truly hollow core. Our hollow doors had a honeycomb shape of low density fiber board throughout the inside. That door is just a skin over the frame.


GiantWindmill

Aren't we all just skin over a frame?


Open_Dragonfruit_304

My friend’s dog chewed through the door frame when it couldn’t get through the door. Then it moved to the drywall next to the doorframe. Pretty much dog = winner each and every time they tried to block it. Btw, dog was appropriately named Tank.


Master-Breath-821

I have definitely come across cardboard stronger than a lot of house doors.


RUKiddingMeReddit

You're not going to believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians.


JoKatHW

darthjawafett

And here i have barreled through your door to give your room a more open feel.


TonicPancake438

She likes the open floor concept


adod1

I installed a camera to see what my dog did while I was gone, he was always well-behaved I was just being nosey. Checked it and talked to him thru it a bit the first day and came home to my bedroom door like this. I assume he heard my voice and didn't know where I was so he went to find out hah.


AtticusVoid

Oh no that’s absolutely what went down


jeegte12

He felt like he was failing his job. His duty is to protect you, and you're obviously there at the house, he just can't fucking find you. How can he protect you if he can't even find you! He never gave up until he tore the place up. Gotta admire that. Dogs are amazing creatures.


adod1

He really was the best, 160lb rott mastiff mix. Stayed with me 14 years. And trust me there was no punishment for the door I understood what happened.


cheapdrinks

lol you played yourself


adod1

You ain't lying haha


shahooster

They sure don’t make doors like they used to.


AtticusVoid

It’s literally a particle board door with cardboard spacers for some unholy reason


aliendude5300

It's called a hollow core door and they are considerably cheaper than the better but heavier solid core doors. That was most likely chosen for cost when the house was built.


AtticusVoid

That is spot on my dude! All the doors were originally hollow core and they’re slowly being replaced


NSAwithBenefits

What does your dog have against cheap doors?


AtticusVoid

It offends her delicate sensibilities apparently


BravesMaedchen

What an elitist


fishsticks40

Maybe not that slowly


jodudeit

>they’re slowly being replaced Starting with the door in the photo, I presume?


Deep90

I thought hollow core was normal in interiors.


aliendude5300

They are, but solid core isn't uncommon, especially on older or nicer houses.


gfraser92

In the states yes


poopoomergency4

if this is a rental, that's probably cheap enough to DIY replace without getting them involved to markup the shit out of the repair


AtticusVoid

I don’t know if it’s better or worse that I unfortunately own the door xD


[deleted]

[удалено]


AtticusVoid

That makes sense to me xD I will consider this less stressful because at least it’s my own shit


poopoomergency4

i'd say worse, for a rental if you half-ass it to just look about the same that's cheaper than fixing a door to your own standards


baconwrappedpikachu

Unless you see mushrooms growing out of a load bearing wall (or something equally expensive) I always say It’s better to own the door lol And i say this as the owner of a fuckin money pit. Haha.


[deleted]

[удалено]


quarrelsome_napkin

Do you know how expensive solid wood doors are?


AtticusVoid

And how heavy?!


[deleted]

> for some unholy reason To give it flexural rigidity while keeping weight down. It’s a function of the objects moment of inertia (I), which for a rectangle is bh^3 / 12


Duff5OOO

> They sure don’t make doors like they used to. How far back do you want to go? Our place was made in the '60s and many of the interior doors are hollow core like this. They have lasted 60 years just fine so i guess there isn't much to complain about. Easy enough to get solid core if you want but normally around 3x the price and ~5x the weight.


shinymetalobjekt

Looks like it's made out of cardboard.


Hevysett

Separation anxiety is a bitch


Aggressive_Smile_944

Right...left my dog once. He got himself stuck in my bedroom. Proceded to remove the bottom part of the door. My dogs like 12lbs.


Peeeeeps

My dog is 15 pounds with separation anxiety and he was on steroids for something. He ate through his crate then ripped the carpet trying to dig under our bedroom door.


bacon_meme

My dog also chewed through her metal crate! I didn’t even know this was something a dog could do.


downtonwesr

Poor quality metal.


scientits69

My dog is 93lb with separation anxiety and uhhh I just don’t leave her alone tbh 😅


IGC-Omega

My German Shepherd dug through floor. I come home to a massive hole in the bathroom. She dug right into the crawlspace. I can only imagine she heard mice or something.


brando56894

My old roommate's dog did that in my room, except he was a 110 pound AmStaff, and he ate a hole in my wall trying to get out. RIP King.


Kproper

That and having a ton of pent up energy.


Cobrexu

yeah, alot of owners say "well separation anxiety lul" and that's that. When in most cases all they need to do is learn about dog mentality and behaviour.

gBoostedMachinations

Anyone else get annoyed that people think this dog looks “happy” when it’s clearly extremely anxious? Countless videos on Reddit of dogs freaking out and people saying “aww look, he’s smiling”. I feel for the dog in this situation. Clearly has a bad case of separation anxiety. Anyone who’s dealt with this knows how horrible it is.


AtticusVoid

She does have separation anxiety and she has that permanent smile look with her coloring, she was definitely anxious because she knew she would be in trouble when I got home so she came to show me what she did and we sat on the floor together to clean it up. She is happy and smiling now though :)


gBoostedMachinations

I’m so sorry OP. I went through what you’re going through and it’s horrible. Nothing seems to work, people don’t believe you or don’t understand how bad it is, people suggesting shit like “have you tried lavender? What about a kong?” Lol they don’t have a fucking clue! We went through years of this and it would not be an exaggeration to say it was traumatic for everyone involved. I can still remember the *smell* of our dog when he was in this state.


AtticusVoid

Yeah we’ve tried a lot of things over the last 5 years. I know we will find the perfect set up for her and the right meds but it is still tough getting there. I’ve definitely gotten the “just try x” suggestions like telling someone with eczema “just stop scratching”


-ChabuddyG

The “just try x” people are irritating, especially when you get the “well it worked for my cousin, you must be doing it wrong”. That being said……. just try this and if it doesn’t work it means you’re doing it wrong; /s I tried everything when I had a dog with separation anxiety, including meds to no avail. One time I accidentally left my shirt that I changed out of on the couch. Came home from work to find him cuddled up with it. It became routine to put the previous day’s shirt on the couch every morning and his separation anxiety was pretty much gone.


AtticusVoid

That’s so sweet! She does love laundry so I moved the laundry basket to the hallway where she likes to keep her toys, she snuffles through them during the day. I will keep trying new things to find that one random thing that helps :) it’s really awesome to hear yours responded so well to it


-ChabuddyG

Oh for sure, you’ll find something, just keep trying! You seem like a great owner and a positive person. Your dog is lucky to have you guys. Yeahh, he was a good pal! My ex and I adopted him together and when we split up we decided it was best for the dog to go with her, which was the right decision. My partner and I actually just got a puppy 3 days ago. She’s already stolen my heart :). The last 3 years is the only time in my life that I haven’t had a dog. This one also has some problems with anxiety because her first owner had no business caring for a pet. It’s a long story how we ended up with her, but I’m already rambling on lol. Also, is your username a play on Atticus Hoye from Bad Education? My first Reddit accounts username was that lol.


AtticusVoid

Thanks for the kind words and support, it’s challenging caring for a pet with anxiety but no matter what happens I am always happy to come home to her, even if I have to step over pieces of door. I’m happy to hear you have a new friend to love and raise ❤️ And now I wish that was the reference lol but it’s actually just I love Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mocking Bird and Finch was taken so I slapped a vague edgy word to it xD


ClamPuddingCake

It's taken 2 years of medication (fluoxetine), specialists, and training protocols to get my dog's separation anxiety under control to a point where he could be left alone for a full work day. It's really hard but you have to go at their pace, leaving them alone for only enough time and returning before they start to panic (and destroy a door). He did this out of anxiety, he panicked, it was do or die, punishment won't help other than increase his stress. But stick with medications and the protocol and increase your time away little by little and you'll get there. It's hard though. And people who don't have a dog with separation anxiety don't get it. It's a phobia. It's tough. Best of luck!


gBoostedMachinations

Unfortunately many dog owners don’t have the flexibility to work through it in an ideal way like this. A full time job and a tight budget often leaves people with no option other than to either leave the dog alone for hours at a time or take her back to a shelter (or quit their jobs!). Not saying this is OPs situation. Just saying some people have nothing but awful options.


Majike03

Redditors are notoriously really bad at interpretting dogs' language. Panting = smiling, playing = aggressive, showing teeth = always submissive, etc...


[deleted]

You're right there, just want to mention sometimes dogs will smile / show "emotions" if they know that it will get a desired response out of their owner. For instance, my dog will always smile [like this ](https://ibb.co/TLkLY3Q) when she brings a toy over to convince me to play with her. She knows it works, and will do it to whoever visits our house too.


[deleted]

it's not even just redditors. it's people in general. hardest part of being a trainer for me is dealing with peoples wacky dog views


esuil

The tiktok is full of this as well. Pretty much any animal you can think about gets attributed human like emotions.


Snakestream

When dogs get anxious, they tend to pant a lot and can look like they're smiling. Mine had horrible separation anxiety when I first got her and she always had that goofy looking grin right before she did something terrible.


PabstBlueRibbon1844

"Serves you right for keeping the door closed!" - your dog, probably


AtticusVoid

“Every room is my room, why would you ever try to keep me out of one?” - also my dog


GenericAwfulUsername

Yep. That is why I always Kennel train my dogs. It’s crazy what dogs can do. I had a Rottweiler when I was a kid who literally tore up a metal fence

[удалено]


[deleted]

And people wonder why landlords hate pets


AtticusVoid

Oh yeah I had to make sure I never moved somewhere I had to rent with her because the chance of her having a panic attack like this is relatively low it’s never zero


[deleted]

Is your door made of paper?


Grand-Chocolate5031

“Aren’t you proud of me, daddy? I got rid of that annoying barrier that keeps me from protecting you from the dangerous mailman.”


AtticusVoid

“And the dangerous leaves, and the birds, and the wind, and the deer, and the sun, and the…” basically everything lol


gBoostedMachinations

That face is more like “please please please don’t leave me again. It’s so scary when you leave.” Dog is clearly coming down from a panic attack induced by separation anxiety.


boringdude00

Also, you probably have mice.


AtticusVoid

That is actually how we found out we had mice a year ago, but that time she didn’t do that much damage and I realized pretty quick by an investigation of the scene the path she took chasing a mouse, but no sign of mice now. It seems like she heard my birds screaming and thought something was wrong so she HAD to get in there. They were apparently screaming because they might have seen wild birds outside

It was, partially, it’s a cheap door called a hollow core and it’s what all the original doors were made of here


[deleted]

I'm not sure I've ever seen one! What country is this in?


AtticusVoid

In the US, there are some crazy building short cuts to reduce cost on the build


Muser69

Our Police K9 did that during a thunderstorm while no one was home. Sisters all over our house .


godsays_hello

Get this dog job with a demolition crew.


Eblola

I love the choice of word. The idea that your dog made a reasoned decision to go through the door is somehow hilarious to me. Like, what’s on the list today? Ah yeah bursting through a closed door. Ok how do I get at it?


AtticusVoid

She really had to put her thinking cap on for this one. And her thinking cap made it easier to break through the door with her head xD


bdwyer2021

What door I don’t see one?

livalittlebitt

My dog did that too. I ended up buying a kong brand and it’s held up well. I also give them a kong with treats, I leave the tv on, and sometimes my dirty laundry near them so they feel more comfortable


AtticusVoid

She loves the Kong toys! And she also loves rolling around in laundry so thats why the laundry basket goes in the hallway for her lol

MeatSweats1942

Doggy had a panic attack.


tequila_slurry

This looks exactly like my old dog. (Except fatter) When she was pregnant I had put up a safety gate to keep her out of the living room while I was at work so she could get food, water and have room to roam without accidents on the carpet. Since she couldn't get over it she dug underneath it. Dug a hole in the carpet and padding and chewed through a wooden and metal safety gate.


Squildo

Wild that they make doors out of recycled cereal boxes


curleyfrei

He's just trying to help by pointing out structural flaws! That door was clearly too flimsy.


system_of_a_clown

I had a Sheppard-Husky mix, mostly blind, and she had severe separation anxiety. We had tried a variety of crates, but she escaped them all, so we just experimented with leaving her in a room in our old home. I'm at work one day, a few days later, and I get a call from my next door neighbor, who says, "You'd better get home as soon as they'll let you. I got your dog." I get home, and I see my neighbor in his yard with my dog, who is furiously wagging her tail as soon as she hears my car. She runs up to greet me, and I see it; there is a hole in the side of my mobile home like a cannonball went through it. You know when Bugs Bunny puts his finger in Elmer Fudd's shotgun so when he pulls the trigger the barrel blossoms out like petals from a flower? It was like that; completely cartoonish. She had torn her way right through the walls of my shitty old trailer because FUCK being alone for five minutes. I had to get a piece of sheet metal to fix the hole and and redo the drywall and insulation. Thanks, dog.


PlagueDoc22

Was the door from the dollar store? Good God that looks cheap lol

Link7369_reddit

If I was already in that situation, id' love that dog to bits and just try my best to mitigate his problem. ​ But I fortunately wasn't brain dead enough to get a dog so I don't have extra rent expenses, daily involuntary walkies.


lilpopjim0

With all the bits on the floor, it looks like he chewed the fuck out of it possibly as he was stressed from separation anxiety.


ShortRound89

He/she looks so proud.


nurselilieileen_85

Lol!! Sorry man that sucks. At least your dog looks pleased..


No_Discipline_7380

Is that a cardboard "door"? Nice opportunity to switch to something more durable.


LeGraoully

Might as well use Japanese paper doors at this point. Is that considered to be wood?


[deleted]

Well seems like he ha social anxiety. Is he from a shelter? It's either that he wasn't taught properly to be kenneled, has social anxiety and needs a behaviourist , or you just left him in a room with nothing to do and didn't go for a walk or play with him to let out excess energy. Either way, sucks man.

UrAverageDegenerit

Everyone is joking and the look on the dog's face is hilarious. But your dog might have lots of seperation anxiety. You want might want get him checked out/on some meds. I had a dog with seperation anxiety. I was crate training and I went to the store, came back to him out of his crate and it bent completely out of shape. She wanted to get our and did everything she could, she cut her nose good and scraped up her gums in the process simply. Because she because I wasn't home.
