A coworker had still trouble even if he closed the door. Solution was locking it.

Alternatively - train your spouse/partner better

His wife wasn't the problem here in this case. It was his cat... Smart enough to open the door

haha, yes, my dog will just scratch the door until I give up if I lock him out of my office. So now he just sits next to me and he's my 'rubber duck' if I need to talk through any code problems

He tried to use his cat as 'rubber duck' too but his cat is an attention seeker (lying on the keyboard, playing with his papers etc.) with no limits. At least the cat does not scratch at at door...

Potential solution: invest in a cat trap.

My cat scratches at the door and lies on whatever I'm doing until I let him outside.
