TRAINING
Training Dogs
Before starting your training, assess whether your dog would be more motivated
to come inside through the pet door or go outside through it. If your dog
loves being inside the house, you should start this training with them
outside. If they’re always excited to get outside, start with them inside the
house.
- With your dog on one side of the pet door and you on the other, lift the flap of the pet door all the way up and call them, using an excited voice. Hold treats or your dogs favourite toy so they can see them on the other side of the pet door. Reward any attempt to come towards or through the door with lots of verbal encouragement, but don’t let them have the treat until they make it the whole way through. If your dog is hesitating or nervous to approach after trying this step, take a break and come back to it later.
- When they come all the way through, praise and reward them. Then, leaving them where they are, go to the other side of the pet door, lift the flap and repeat the same exercise. Do a few repetitions going each way, then take a break. This training can be both stressful and exciting for your dog, so you should do short sessions to avoid burning them out or causing them to become distressed.
- After your dog has had a break, repeat the exercise. If they’re coming through with no hesitation, repeat the exercise holding the flap up only halfway. Your dog may be distressed by feeling the flap touching them, use lots of verbal encouragement to guide them through the door and reward them if they do go all the way through.
- Once they’re going through with the flap halfway up, continue doing short sessions with them, gradually lifting the flap up less and less, until your dog is pushing through the door on their own.
- Now try to get them to do it on their own. You can do this by leaving them on one side of the door and scattering some treats or leaving their favourite toy on the other side of the door. Repeat this for a few sessions until your dog goes through without any verbal encouragement or reward.

If your home has children as well as pets it is important to remember that
children can misuse the pet door and gain access to potential hazards on the
other side. You may contravene municipal laws and be found guilty of an
offence if there was a swimming pool on the other side of the pet door. You
are further advised to be very alert to any future hazards which may occur
from time to time on the other side of the pet door such as garden chemicals
or insecticides which, even if only put down for a few minutes, would be
dangerous to children. Remember that any closing panel or lock provided by
