Pushing the flap open
a. Place the pet door in Standard Mode and unlock the flap as in the
previous steps.
b.
With you on one side of the door and your pet on the other, encourage
your pet to nudge the door with his nose or paw. You may need to lift the
flap a little and hold a treat where he can reach it by pushing his nose or
paw through the small opening.
c.
Repeat this a few times, letting the flap fall back into place between each
treat. Eventually, your pet will start to push on the flap to get the treat without
help.
d.
As your pet becomes more confident pushing the flap, encourage your pet
to move all the way through the opening to earn the reward.
What if treats aren’t working?
If your pet is not responding to treats, you may have more luck with a social approach. Pets often want to be where their family is.
Before you begin a training session, check again that Smart Mode is turned off. This allows your pet to build confidence before the
door moves or makes any sounds.
Next, place your pet on one side of the door and bring family members to the other side. While your pet is at the door, act out
games the pet enjoys, call their name, and provide encouragement. Create an atmosphere that the pet will be driven to join.
Watch out for signals of stress and take breaks to calm your pet.
Remember, each pet has their own personality and will acclimate to new things differently. For additional assistance, please
contact our customer care.
