I had the same problem and what I did was when all else failed I got my older daughter to sit inside and kick the heck out of the rear of the sliding door while i pulled on the handle, once it popped open some on the rear I had to use a tire iron to pry it open the rest of the way. All I found was some some had not seen a small piece of card board McDonald's french fry box) and it got jammed up in there. GOOD LUCK

If your dog can open the sliding door, you can use a broom handle to keep the door shut by wedging it so that the door will not slide. This will allow a child to open the door and block the dog from opening the door. You could also keep the door locked and teach the child how to unlock the door.
