After a couple time luring Fred through the door with pieces of roast he totally got how to use the dog door. It was tricky with Alice, she kept wanting to use her paws and then it would go shut and she would just stand there. Finally with Fred going through she would hurry and go right behind him when the flap was open. Well one time it hit her head and she realized it didn't hurt!! Then she used her head and now they just go right in and out whenever they want!! I am so happy!!

I was wondering, because they use their head and that flap rubs you think it will create bald spots??

See - we told Ya... I wouldn't worry about the balding.....

Ya know what's funny is we usually know where they are, last night a couple time it was like "where are the dogs?"  one would be out and one in, never really knew where they were!! When night comes dog door gets locked though, just cause I don't want them running out after skunks!!

Has anything ever got IN any of  you dog doors, other than your dogs??

We have a cat door in the basement. Since the food dish is also in the basement, I'm sure all the other cats in the neighborhood know where they can go and get a quick bite to eat.
