Struggling with 2.5year old

All he wants to do is open the back door, step into the back garden, shut the door, open it and come back inside. Over and over again. He completely melts down if I tie it open.

He is also constantly chasing and trying to grab the dog. I'm saying no and removing him/dog but it's just relentless. Dog is generally behind a baby gate but he likes to come out in the garden with us.

He won't play with anything, just runs around doing these things or asking for TV. I've tried setting up play, playing with him but not much luck

I also have a 6month old but she's pretty content with her Sophie giraffe.

Anyone else.having toddler troubles.

2.5 year old is very similar. We just do things in short bursts mixed with a bit of TV time. Play farms for 10 minutes, kick a ball for 10 minutes, go on the slide, 2 episodes of Bing, 5 minutes drawing etc. It's relentless but it's the only thing that's worked
