Training Tool Instructions
We have included a training tool to assist you while training your dog or cat to use your new Carlson Pro
Pets pet door. Here’s how it works:
1. From either the inside or outside push the flap of your new pet door away from you.
2. Insert the training tool over the top edge until it is fully seated and slowly lower the flap.
a. To hold the door open fully slide the tool over the flap as shown in diagram 1.
b. To hold the door open partially flip the tool over and slide over the flap. This will allow the
door to come down at an approximate 45-degree angle.
3. The fully open position will allow your pet to become comfortable passing through the
doorframe, while the partially open position will help acclimate your pet to the feel of the flap
on its body. We recommend using your pet’s favorite treat for encouragement and a reward
during training as your pet learns to enter and exit using the new pet door.
On Royal model pet doors the training tool works the same way, but 2 are included and you
insert them from the side rather than the top.
Never force pets through the door, they will figure it out; some just take longer than others.
Never leave the pet door unattended while the training tool is in use, as it prohibits the swing of
the door. It is intended for training purposes only.
