Dog doors are very practical solutions for dog owners who are too busy and
can't afford to get up and go open the door every time the dog wants to come in
or go out. Thus, they allow dog owners to continue with their activities
interrupted so that when they finish they can dedicate some quality time to
their pets.
Different Sorts of Dog Doors
dog doors come in several materials, including wood, plastic, metal, and glass;
you can even get electronic dog doors if you want.
The plastic doors are transparent which in turn allows your pet to have an
outside view and vice versa. This may prove to be disadvantageous since this
would allow anyone to have a look indoors. Metal doors are the most resistant,
but they might be too heavy for your dog to push open and they tend to make
noise with time.
Glass doors are prefered by people who want something transparent. The most
modern and technologically advanced of them all by far is the electronic dog
door. These have a remote key attached to their collar that enables automatic
opening and closing of the door using magnets.
Tips on How to Get the Most Appropriate Dog Door
Take your priorities into consideration first. Some people prefer the
transparent dog door because it goes better with a house that has big windows,
while others think it might be a bit intrusive on their privacy. Never buy a dog
door without comparing it to the actual measurements of the dog, since replacing
it will usually be difficult and expensive. Although it might sound obvious,
some dog owners buy doors for their puppies and forget that they will outgrow
them in very little time.
It's very easy to train the dog to use the door. Just show it a couple of times,
and the dog's own needs will take it from there. If possible, always hire a
professional to install the dog door for you.
For some people, dog doors means no interruptions when cooking, sleeping, or watching TV. They allow your dog to go to the yard by itself. When comparing dog doors, consider your dog's size above all.
