Getting used to the sound of the door locking
and unlocking
The sound of the pet door’s motor, lock and unlock actions, and the flap
movement, may
all be unfamiliar sounds for your pet. To help him get
accustomed to these sounds:
a.
With your pet within earshot of the door, use the app or buttons in the
battery compartment to lock and unlock the door.
b.
Repeat this several times and watch your pet’s reaction. Once your pet is
comfortable with the sound of the door locking and unlocking at a distance,
proceed to the next step.
c.
Place the door in Smart Mode and select All Access for your pet.
d.
Make sure your pet’s pet door key or microchip is paired with the door.
e.
If your pet is using the pet door key, make sure it is secured to his collar.
f.
Place your pet’s favorite treat or toy next to the door and encourage him to
approach the door.
g.
As your pet comes within range of the door, the door motor will run and the
door will unlock. As these noises are occurring, reward your pet. The goal is
for your pet to associate the noise with a positive experience.
h.
Repeat the above step a few times until your pet seems comfortable with the
sounds made by the door.
i.
Finally, repeat this action, but while your pet is getting his treat, lift the flap
and let it close.
j.
Repeat the above step until your pet is comfortable with the sound of the
motor and the sound of the flap opening and closing.
