Yer pups defineately need boundaries. It could be a case of seperation anxiety as well. There are a few possibilities of why they act that way, but the pawing at the door when you locked her out defineately sounds like anxiety issues. Seperation anxiety is a lengthy process to eliminate. You pretty much have to go into another room with the door closed then come out over and over, but increasing the times that you are in the room. This way your pups know that you guys will be coming back out, and pawing and crying isnt going to get them you. It worked with my old pup that used to do that.
Try that and see where it gets you. Everytime you come out, make sure you give them lots of attention, that way they know that they will be rewarded if they sit tight. Also, once you start this process, do it quickly enough the first few times so they dont have the opportunity to show those behaviors. If they do, and you reward them, you are only going backwards. Good luck, and congrats on your new babies!
