Once again Expert Village does not actually show you how it’s done. Besides, the dog broke the blind, which is not what you want at all.
You’re better off watching the video by Youtuber tab289 in which he will show you step by step how to teach your dog how to close doors.

you stick a …
you stick a chocolate button or similar onto the door at a height the dog can reach when standing up on back legs, the dog is told to ‘close the door’ as he/she reaches up for the button, the door is pushed shut by dogs front legs till door is shut. the dog then can get the button.
guaranteed to work as the dog doesn’t get treat till door stops moving, ie, shut.
I know coz both my dogs, tanya and molly can do this!
will maybe do a demonstration someday.

nice video, but the actual “positive training sequence” is missing. You don’t show how to really train it, but only the result after having achieved it.
