my dog runs out when any door opens ...does this help?

It can. But it requires working with your dog while keeping them on a lead. They recommend using a long lead when you start training for things like coming to you and then keeping a short lead on them for more long term training. It all starts with mastering the walk.if your dog has learned to respect you on the walk (no pulling or running off) that translate into all behaviors. This collar worked great for one of my dogs but not for my Labbradoddle who doesn't seem to be stopped by anything. I moved on to a much larger pinch collar. Hope this helps

Yes, the bite side is for training purposes, put your dog on a lead as well, open your front door and if he starts to bolt you can correct the dog. You want to let him know that you own the door and he can't go passed it unless you stay it is ok. Make sure you always enter and exit before your dog. You might be able to find some training videos on You Tube by Don and Cesar Milan about this very subject.

I use it for my dog. It took me opening and leading him through a couple of times, now he comes and goes as he pleases. This is the only reason I have this product. Mine is several years old now and has ripped (because my glass door was closed and the dog was scratching trying to get in - not through failure of the product). I will now order again to replace my first one.

That's correct. Only the way for the door to open is with the sensor on the collar. And we've even found, for whatever reason, it actually has to be *on* the dog to work. When we just dangle the collar by the door it doesn't work. We feel it's very secure.

Yes. I bought a dog door this summer. I just had to use some silicon filler to fill in some gaps. Door works very well and it's worth the premium price

Pull up the trap door from behind and the animal will run out. Stay calm and try to keep the animal calm after you transport it to the place you want to let it go.

It will stick but if the dog has enough strength or tenacity, the dog could claw it off. I have marks on my door from the previous dog separation anxiety issues and they can be stubborn. It's worth a try and you could put some Tabasco on it to discourage him too if training can't be integrated.

My dog is very high energy. I let her run at that speed for 5-7 minutes every other day. Started her on shorter duration though. I put my makeup on in same room as treadmill and keep her company. When I finish so does she. She jumps off only on my command. It disciplines her and when I leave the house afterwards, she's relaxed.

I'm not sure but I want to say no. Snuggle pet helped when our dog was a puppy to sleep at night but did not help when being in his crate. He never did get used to the crate, we gave up!

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :)I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened.Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner.Hope this info helped!

Not currently but you can configure an alert to tell you the door is still up after a period of time, then you can close from the app if needed. Sounds like a great feature request though! Sounds easy enough.

I have an aussie and rottie mix that I have tried everything for barking... even a shock collar. When they see me coming with this spray, they stop barking and run right into the house! great stuff!

No, you could probably improvise something. My dog is older and doesn't try to get out.

If he is hell bent on getting out he will no matter what. My Boxers love it, I can even walk away and they don't try to get out but they like getting baths. It is however better setup for taller breeds so it should work better for you than for me. If he isn't used to baths or afraid of the tub introduce him slowly at his pace and you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, it makes a hinge-swinging sound when closing. It's a saloon-style swinging door out of an old western - when a dog either goes out quickly or comes in quickly, the doors oscillate back-and-forth a couple of times in decreasing amplitude as they return to the fully-shut position. It's not a loud noise, more like a muffled "whump" kind of sound. I like the sound, because it's just loud enough that you can tell when a dog in the back hall has gone outside. When they come running inside and around the corner, you see the dog and hear the dog so the sound of the door is background noise.

I'm sorry Deb I have never tested that I was trying to get our dog to stop barking when he was in the house and looking out the window. That worked GREAT

You can set it up to open left or right. I prefer it open inward to dog area to keep them from running out

We have a blue heeler that bolts thru the door at high speeds and she has never had an issue with the 2 flaps. This is our first doggy door we have ever owned and we love it, it is very energy effecient with the 2 flaps.
