I have pets that like to jump and/or play with random objects. If installed on a door, does it get triggered by any type of movement?

It will go off at any thing, wind blowing on door, just walking by, or for no reason.

No-I have 3 pugs that will jump at it sometimes and it hasn't been pushed over.

it's not a weight sensor - cats and dogs "move", so why would you think they might not trigger it?

One direction, which is better ... if your puppy is still learning not to jump up, you want it to go in the direction of closing if you accidentally leave it ajar... then he closes it when he leans on it or jumps up. :) love this door.

The critters COULD knock it over if they tried, which they haven't. The dogs could even jump over it easily, but it hasn't occurred to them yet, either. The gate is going across a big double-door to my second bedroom, preventing the dogs from raiding the cat litter box (disgusting creatures that they are). Just to make sure, I sandwiched one side of the gate between the wall and a heavy object, in this case the bucket with the litter. On the other side, I just folded out the extra leg a bit to give it stability. Have had the gate for about 2 months now, no problem. The cats hop right over it.

It surely does - at least ours does. It is very sensitive tho, the least little movement and he'll go off - at least 2 or 3 times. Great for laughs -

Yes. You will choose where you want the motion sensors. So definitely for dogs... Cats may trigger the sensors if they climb up high.

If you are using it indoors I don't think there is a way to keep it from moving when the dog jumps on it. For those who don't know, there are stakes included to keep it from moving when used outdoors.

You have to make it so the pet cannot jump across it. Partially close the door or put a chair in the way so the pet has to step on the mat to get through the door.

Not at all. My 75lbs Golden Retriever does try to force it. After awhile, she waits for the 'click' before she even tries it. When closes, it lowers on a groove all the way around. Seems very secure, and somewhat weather tight. This door is awesome.

The material slides around a lot on harder surfaces so if your dogs jump onto the counter and land on it, both are likely to slide off and fall on the floor. The fear of falling might be enough to deter, but a non-agile dog could get hurt. As far as the noise, it startled them enough the first few times to send them running. After a few times, they quit caring about the noise. They'll just sit on it while it goes off or jump over it. It's more annoying to the people in the house than to my cats. Probably depends on how sensitive to noise and how smart your dogs are. I tried this before buying a shocking mat cause I felt bad to shock them. But, the shock mat works much better and the shock isn't that painful. Like static. They do not sit on the shock mat while it goes off. And it only takes once or twice for them to learn.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensors, but I wouldn't recommend giving the pets access to areas where you are placing your motion sensors.

It probably depends on the breed, but I have shorkies and they hop right over it with no problem. It's a very nice gate!!

Yes, mine clicks as well and keeps moving at all times.... It doesn't scare the rabbits but it's a cute owl :)

The strength of the motor is not relevant to protecting your chickens at the door opening. When the motor is triggered to go, it will slowly lower the door with gravity doing the work. The motor does make noise as it goes which hopefully alerts the chickens to move. If the chicken does not move, the weight of the door itself is what you need to be looking at to determine if it will harm the chicken. The door takes about 8 seconds to close.

Not at all, if you have small animals, you place the motion sensors upside down. There are very simple, clear instructions on how to place the motion sensors when you have pets in the installation booklet

I think it depends on how secure your door frame is, and how mild you're knocking... the sensor requires a decent vibration. For example, I have one in my mailbox, and thunder will sometimes set it off. Other times, a garbage truck would. If your sensor is on the door (vs the frame), and(/or?) your door wiggles in the frame, then maybe...
