doggie door blowin' in the wind
I'm having a lot of trouble with my doggie door blowing open in the
wind. It is worst in the Winter. I have a Staywell that has lots of magnets but it still doesn't help. I was thinking of installing 2 identical doors in serial, one right next to the other. The only problem I see is that my Shitzhu is a nervous nellie and takes forever to learn new things. It took him a couple of days to go out the doggie door when I got him as an adult, but 6 full weeks to come back in, even with the other dogs running in and out constantly. Has anyone else got a solution to the wind problem? Thanks! Lyne Remove SPAMDEFENSE in address to reply. |

Has anyone else got a solution to the wind problem? Put a short tunnel in front of the dog door, with the opening to the side.

You may live where it is no problem, but in many parts of the country
