Training Pet
6A
Rehang your door and begin training your pet. It may help for
you to be on one side of the door and your pet on the other. Lift or
tape open flap and try to talk your pet through the pet door. After
your pet has gone through a few times, allow the flap to touch
your pet’s back so they will become comfortable using the pet
door. If your pet will not go through the door, tape the flap open until
they use it on their own. Do not use the 4-way lock until your pet is
familiar with using the pet door.
Helpful Tip:
Try treats or toys to encourage your pet to go through
the pet door and become comfortable using it.
