Answer
Hi there!  Unfortunately, dogs just do enjoy looking out windows and this is completely normal for them to want to do this.  There really is no way to break this kind of behavior, as it is completely normal and all dogs enjoy looking outdoors.  Perhaps you could get darker curtains?  Or shorter curtains?  Maybe leaving the curtains open during the day so they won't ruin them would help.
I wish I could be of more help, but dogs will be dogs!
