» mncapt - I need help!!!

Hello all,
I have a question, and I need some suggestions. My puppy, Bailey, is doing great. She's learning fast. She knows how to sit, come, laydown, and she's doing pretty good at stay.
They problem is, and it's not a totally bad thing, she won't play outside, and doesn't even want to be outside unless my wife or I are out there with her. She does totally great when we're out there. She'll run, play, chew on sticks, chase birds...but once we go inside, she feels like she has to come in with us. It's not totally a bad thing, her wanting to be near us, but she won't even go out on her own just to go to teh bathroom. When we open the door to let her out, she'll get out onto the step and turn around to see if we're still following her. If she doesn't see us, she'll jump up on the door and start clawing at it pretty much until we either let her back in or go out there with her. She's pretty much destroyed one screen door already and I don't want to install another one on until we get this problem figured out.
Please help.
