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?

I'd put a rack bolt on (recessed into) the door, with a piece of
metal bolted on to the side of the fridge protruding forwards, with a
hole in it to form a keep for the bolt.

Obviously keep the key out of the dog's reach - this is a cocker spaniel
after all.

How about a piece of webbing strap with one of them rucksack type
fastenings where you press both sides to open it and just push the
prongs in to close it . surely it wouldn't be able to open that
until it gets trained and put back in the pecking order where it
belongs ( and that is right at the bottom) and the sooner that
retraining takes place the better for all concerned .
