Re: Claustrophobic Berners

[Joan N Robinson]

It took me a while to teach my Berners to use the new doggie door I installed in the kitchen - it took almost a month before they got the hang of it and would use it without me being there, encouraging them, partly opening the flap, etc. NOW - they LOVE IT - It just takes time & patience & encouragement -

My new little Cavaliers use it, too - although they stand back and wait for the big guys to finish, then they go through - they don't want that swinging flap to slap them in the face! <grin>

Eileen,

I can tell, that for Star, a dog door wouldn't be a good thing. The Dog Days, where we go to classes has one and Star has even seen the other dogs use it. To her the Door "ate" the dog...
