How do I keep the dog out of my room?

Yes, I have a door. I keep it shut always. I never let the dog in my room, and any time she tries to come in if I am in with the door open I immediately command her to leave.

My parents like to come into my room while I’m not around for god knows what reason and they NEVER SHUT THE DOOR. The door has a lock, but not with a key in case of an emergency (I have medical issues and would rather not be blocked off from help should I need it.) It’s a simple lock that you can open with a pin or sharp pencil.

They will undo the lock if they need to get in. They will go in my room if they need something, when I used to have fish and they’d feed them while I was away at school, or when they would miss me while at school. They never shut the **** door. I tell them to either keep it shut or do not go in, put up signs and everything, but they never get the message.

Until I can move out permanently which will not be for 2-3 years, I have to deal with the dog.

She rips everything I own to shreds. Clothes which she takes out of my hamper, garbage she takes out of my bin, everything. I don’t have the money to keep replacing everything this dog destroys and my parents don’t seem to see any issue.

So how the hell do I keep the thing out of my room? Doors seem to be of no use due to my family and their inability to use them. The dog won’t be trained to stay out- I have tried for seven years, every technique from bribery to punishment.

Shock fence collar? Baby gate across the hall? What the hell do I do?
