Position the internal and external frames onto the door and use 4 screws
and nuts to screw into place through the holes drilled previously. Be sure
not to over tighten the screws (Fig. 6).
If the screws are too long they may need to be cut down to match the depth
of your door. Using over long screws may damage the pet door. The screws
should be removed from the pet door before cutting. File down to ensure there
are no sharp edges.
Training your pet to use the pet door
Most pets will learn to use the pet door almost at once but there are a few who may be
a little nervous at first. The following tips will help your pet to take full advantage of the
outdoor freedom and indoor comfort - which you want for your pet – and which your
new pet door provides.
The most important rule is to be patient with your pet. Don’t be in a hurry. Let your pet
work out for itself that it can go in and out of doors. Don’t force it through the flap or it
may become frightened.
Many pet owners install pet doors when they move house. If this applies to you, make
sure that your pet is familiar with his or her surroundings before you fit the pet door.
Take it on supervised trips outdoors on a lead and make sure it also feels secure and
comfortable in its new indoor environment. Cats especially can develop long lasting
fears in unfamiliar surroundings.
Once you have installed your pet door, leave the flap open for some time. You can do
this by using a long strip of masking tape; open the flap and use the tape to keep it held
open by fixing the other end of the tape to the surface above. Make sure that the fixing
is secure so that the flap can not fall down accidentally. Let your pet become familiar
with it and go in and out freely.
Establish a motive for your pet to use the door. For cats, a good one is food. First feed
the cat near the door, inside and then near the door outside. Repeat as often as you
need to. Most cats, especially kittens, also have a strong urge for freedom, perhaps to
hunt. Cats are also social creatures - they enjoy the company of other cats. This can be
another reason for them to explore outside.
Dogs can be trained to use the pet door in a matter of hours. Dogs respond to
encouragement, repetition and especially play, so why not use the door as part of a
game? E.g. throwing a ball through the pet door. Pat and congratulate the dog when
the pet door is used appropriately. Repeat several times congratulating the dog every
time he uses the pet door.
If this is something new to your pet, it may take some patience to teach your pet how to
use it. When your pet makes progress give them a lot of praise - they’ve earned it!
