Every time we open the door to our trailer, our dog tries to escape. I have searched for "doggy doors" for campers but haven't found anything. Any suggestions?

She knows she can go out the back door to a fenced yard but the front door is only Sit - Stay. Definitely not trustworthy. She is a nonselective eater (anything on the ground is seen as food) so we have to trick her to get something not good out of her mouth. Favorite is mulch which she seems to think make good tooth picks but I am far off topic.

I can walk my dog at heel, unleashed, and if a chipmunk is 3' away, she will not go off heel. If I send her after it, and in mid-chase I call her back, she comes back.
