2 uses? Coat closet and back door to let me know my small dog is ready to come in at night??

Yes, the two uses are feasible. It is a matter of positioning the light to pick up movement, turning the light on. I use the light to illuminate my hallway at night when I go to the bathroom.

Our cats realized very quickly that there motions activated the light. No doubt your dog will do the same.

I suppose you could fix some sort of screen in the back half and then remove when the puppy gets older. My puppy liked the freedom to move around and I put a small dog bed that just fits with the rounded edges so it makes it quite cozy.

You could clip a small bucket to the door or side grate. You can find flat sided buckets in pet supply stores.

You need a timer. Any cheap 2-prong household timer will do as long as you can set 2 on times and 2 off times. As noted in an earlier answer, you need an on and an off to open the door, and an on and an off to close it.

In the winter I made sure the door was pointed away from the wind and it got some use.In the summer my dog just looks for shady areas in the yard and itnores it.

Yes, this would work fine for that. In addition to the motion detector, use the window/door sensor... Great idea!

I would try taking the roof off and putting in your dog's favorite blanket, or your dog's favorite persons t-shirts. It seems like your dog likes the light so maybe a step by step with the roof part might help. I mean add half the roof and then maybe the other half the roof but let him get used to the darkness inside the house a little at a time

No it would not be the best place for it. It will work best in darkness. I put it in a spare bedroom, leaving it on the 4 hr setting and shut the door. I only remember it is on when I see the TV flickering from under the door. Again coming home from visiting someone the other night, I forgot I had Fake TV on and as we came down the road, I thought who is in there watching TV? Gets me every time. We love ours!

Mine had 2 plastic black tabs. One is to lock from the inside bottom and the other for the outside. But I did not use them. What is the sense of locking the door??? How is the dog supposed to use it then if it's locked? The door stays closed without latching them. If you notice on the bottom there are 2 slots. If you want to lock it, I'm sure you can put anything thru them and it will do the trick. Don't worry about it. I just hope your pet likes the door. My dog still will not go thru it. She makes me open the door. :)

Your going to need the other motion sensors, they are "pet" friendly and are designed to not go off with smaller pets. I believe that is another package with those units, they are only about $5 more each.

One should cover what you need! Thanks for being so thoughtful about your fur baby � and I love Desertduv's idea of leaving it in the crate under a house towel. Great idea �

If it is a pocket door it will not work, but, most closets have 2 doors and if that's the case this would work. You will need 2.

1.) If you got the "add-on" door flap, don't install it until your pet gets used to going in and out of the house. 2.) ALWAYS put your pet's food IN the house - and leave it there. It's sort of like kids, if your pet is hungry, they'll eat.....even if it means going into this new, strange (to them) shelter! Hang in there and good luck!! : )

A few minutes while I'm waiting for my dog to do her thing and a few minutes after I come back inside.

we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside. This unit should only be used on a timid dog and even then you do not know if it will work until you try it. Unless they have changed this system, the collars to this unit are not adjustable in sensitivity and strength level and our dogs were constantly going thru it. We ended up buying a different system by PetSafe. All PetSafe collars work together so if one collar doesn't work well on your dog another collar will. They all hook up the same way and can be put inside the house or garage. we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside.

It never said on the box or on the slip that went inside but I think more importantly, the question should be, can your pet stand up completely, turn around, and lay down comfortably with still some room to spare. While your dog is asleep measure the room around him and add a few inches then see which crate matches best.

It's a motion detector. It's installed in my bedroom closet and when all the lights are off and I've opened the closet door it turns on. Then goes off by itself. I like it a lot. A bit heavy for my use as it's really a porch light but, what the hey,...it fit my needs and it's attractive.
