Screens and sliding doors and gates help stop damage in your home, and make life easier for you and your dog.
Things to consider: How to avoid damage to doors and screens, the dog's view, and making it possible for your pet to take care of herself.
Damage Prevention - Screens and sliding dog doors and gates can help thwart the problem of your dog scratching up your wooden door or making holes with his claws in your screens to let you know he wants to go out.
The View - If your dog just cannot seem to recognize his dog doors and gates or figure out quite what to do with them, consider screens and sliding doors that give him a better view of what exactly is on the other side.
Self-Sufficient - Here is a great combination of tools for house training your dog. If you are crate training your dog and you have dog doors and gates installed in your home, you can back up the entrance to the crate against the entrance to the dog doors when you go to sleep for the night or go out for a few hours. That way, the dog can let himself out and back in as needed through the door screens and sliding.
