Review on πŸšͺ Idea Pet Products White Screen Guard Pet Door by Tammy Hoeft

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well done. Read the training tips.

First of all. Make sure you understand that this pet door is designed to be installed in a screen door with a protective screen underneath. He doesn't go with this guard. We chose this design because it greatly improves installation than simply installing through a light mosquito net. Okay, here are a few things to consider. Size: We have two dogs. The larger one is the Schnudel (a mix of Schnauzer and Poodle). He is about the size of a standard schnauzer and weighs around 25 pounds. He is about 16 inches tall from floor to shoulder and his chest is about 7.5 inches wide. This door is big for him. I'm not sure he wants to go through much less. Our other bitch (bitch) is a bit smaller so she has plenty of space. Design: It seems we made this door. The materials are of good quality and the installation was very easy thanks to the instructions provided. FYI, I used a Dremmel tool with a cutting wheel to cut through the shield. This made it easier. The door has a flexible, clear plastic dog-friendly flap and a sturdy panel that slides in to "latch". Training Tips: Our two dogs are very different. The male went through it and got it all done in 10 seconds. Woman. Not much. She is afraid of her own shadow and wants nothing to do with it. At first it was useless to persuade her to eat. So we approached her training in stages. Step 1 was to use masking tape to tape the flap up and open it wide. So we can persuade them to eat. We left it open for a few days to get them used to it. Step 2 was to close the flap but glue the magnet to the bottom of the frame. Thus, the wing swings freely without the effort required to break the seal. We would "help" her by opening the choke a little and letting her push it all the way in. Now it will pass by itself (with the magnet glued on). We just had to be patient and go step by step. All in all a great product!
