How to make your dog comfortable with the new pet door?

“Comfort should not be compromised”, most of us believe in this statement and act accordingly in different aspects of life. But, if we do this for ourselves, we must do it for our pet animals and birds as well.

After adopting them, it becomes our duty to ensure that they always remain healthy and happy. No doubt, all pet owners do that, but at times, we may neglect or overlook something, which can be very troublesome for our pet. One such area is pet door. Though we install door of superior quality and with latest mechanisms, we don’t realize that our pets may find it inconvenient or harmful.


Considering the basic nature of the animals, it becomes necessary to introduce them properly to their new entrance and exit mode, so that they get used to it. Well, some of the handy tips as listed below, for making this journey easy for you and your pet:
1) Show him using your hands that how easily the flap can be moved.
2) Stand near the outer side of the opening and call your dog as it would encourage him to pass through the door.
3) While following the suggestion mentioned in point number 2, you can lure him with his favorite food.
4) You can let the door stay in the party opened position for a few days in the beginning.
5) Try to keep the main door of the house closed so that he uses this pathway regularly.
6) Once, he starts going out and coming back from pet door, make him feel the flap against his body so that he      stops fearing it.
7) If you have electronic dog doors, note your dog’s response to various settings and adjust those accordingly.

But, the very first step, which matters here, is that the door must have been made and installed, suiting the age and size of your dog. And hence, it becomes imperative that you consult Pet Doors Melbourne for petdoor installation.
