A friends dog .. a delightful black Cocker spaniel, has found his way

A child lock has been put on the fridge, but it seems very weak with
little purchase actually onto the door and he has cracked the
"password" on that one.
Can anyone reccomend a lock of good quality?

It's not a lock that is needed, it's the dog appreciating it's place in
the "pack".
The dog needs to be treated as the lowest level pack member.
Unfortunately most humans are completley un-able to treat their dogs
like dogs rather than humans (equals)

Tell them to watch "the dog whisperer" (currently on sky3 I think)and
stick to the rules of nature rather than trying to find solutions to the
problems and confusion they've caused in the dog's mind.

The problem is not the fridge nor the dog. It's the owners.
99% of all dog "problems" are the results of owners non compliance with
nature.

Rectifying a delightfull cocker spaniel should be quite painless and
quickly acheivable especially if it is naturally submissive rather than
dominant.

They need to "own the fridge" and defend it reprimanding any attempts
the dog makes to help it's self.
