Can this be used on a porch to keep dog from running in house when door is opened?

I would said no, because you have to touch it a certain way, and by the time he did, he would be in the house.

Depends on how big your dog is. I got several to keep 2 cats off the furniture. Works very well. I also put 2 together to make a double-wide barrier to prevent the cats from entering the dining room. That also worked well

There are 2 pieces of plastic about 2" long with a lip on the end, if you want to stop dog or cat from going in or out you slide them in the slot on the bottom of the door. There is one slot on each side of the door if you don't have them you could find or make something to work in place of them.

I use mine for cats, but I do think your dog could easily tip this over and if it is staked down, he could likely rip through the zippered doors to get out.

It would not work for that situation. It is designed to close a door, not slow it down.

Possibly. I'm not sure of the results you'd get. The locator beeps can be quite sharp (some variation there) and a dog might find them upsetting. The range is limited so it's not likely to work well in a big house or big yard. The part that you would put on the collar is not weatherproof, based on having replaced a battery. This means that a dip in the water bowl or extremely wet weather could damage the unit. I would address this question to the seller who is very knowledgeable.

Yes, if the place where you install it doesn't slide past another door, then it would work. It's about an inch thick, so it might be perfect for a dog that's scratching

Well, there's a little pin thing (included with the unit) you can stick in a hole in a tab at the bottom of the door that will keep it from (a) swinging open unless you remove the pin, (b) confound a dumb cat or dog that likes to pull at doors, (c) slow down a child intent on opening the door. We have no reason to use it so haven't tried it. I think you probably could use a small padlock stuck through the tab to better lock the door. In other words, there is a mechanism provided, and a clever owner probably improvise a better locking device using their design features.

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.

Yes. There is a slider that can be inserted which can be used to keep the dog in and out, and it will also stop people from crawling in when you are away.

This is a very good product, but I doubt it would keep a determined cat from exiting. A small terrier easily can push through the flap and exit, so my guess is that a cat certainly could. There is a sliding metal safety plate that is used to bar any entrance/exit, but that also keeps other pets from using it. I would not suggest this pet door for keeping your cats inside unless the panel is shut.

Check the height for starters, make sure it is high enough that a dog cannot jump over it. I never leave my dogs unattended anyway, use this to block garage doors when I am working outside and they want to see me, etc. Useful. Can be anchored to the ground with garden spikes.

ours is in a screened in porch that has a doggie door, critters can come through the doggie door but in all the years I have owned these, never once has a critter got into it.

It will concentrate the pheromone if you close the door but realistically it is not possible to keep doors closed. It better to put it away from the door and close to where your pet would choose to hide when he is nervous. I put a blanket in a corner and plugged it in there. Worked well.

Possible but not easy. Would have to remove glass at least partially and built wooden filler panel with doggie door opening. Incidentally, we have discovered method to rivet electronic sensor to collar which works beautifully. Our two dogs are extremely active outdoors, wrestle one another etc. and zero problems with lost sensors.

Hi! No, unless that door was never opened. The alarm would go off anytime you closed the door, so unless you're just protecting that door and not using it--I wouldn't buy it for that purpose.

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. But it may prove annoying as, if the dog is in and out constantly, it would be going off each time as it is sensitive to motion. If the dog is housed and infrquentlly goes in and out of the door it would be fine, I think.
