can the dogs enter the car thru the back side doors? how long does it take to install?

Not when the cover is hooked and completely in place. The straps go around the head part of the seats so they can not be folded down while hooked. So the only entrance and exit would be the back hatch. It takes me about 3 minutes to hook it up and about the same to take it down and fold it up. Fits very well in my back compartment for storage when not in use. This is a very durable product, I have 2 Golden Retrievers and it is holding up very well.

You will want your dog to enter and exit through the hatchback. The cargo cover comes with Velcro adhesive that you stick on the sides to hold in place, because of this folding the seats down so your dog can crawl in the back doesn't really work. The install is quick, about 5-10min.

It would take someone probably 10-15 minutes and either a ladder or the ability to stand on the door sills of your vehicle, but they are removable. I haven't taken them off since I installed them since its a bit of a hassle since its a fairly high profile vehicle

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.

My nine pound dog can see out the side window and front windshield. I have bucket seats in the front and it is too far away for him to stick his head out, unless he would stand and lean toward the window. I don't think that would be a safe option.

The dog door comes in two halves - one for each side of your door. The two haves are connected by bolts that are long enough to go through any door (I think read 4 inch maximum thickness but no longer have the mounting instructions). The excess length of the bolts gets snipped off when you're done with installation. The minimum thickness is just over an inch.

Yes, Katie, you can lock the window with small screw down clamps that fit in the side channels. Very easy to install with an ordinary screwdriver. Window will be as secure as it was before installing pet door, and you'll hardly notice the clamps.

Yes they can. They have a small pole that attaches them that easily pulls out. I pull it out and move the one panel in front of a door way to block my dog from going into the rest of the house. And then I can easily just slide it right back in place.

I have an 8 yr old Shih tzu that can go in & out with no problem. I also had a bigger dog, so the step-over had to be higher, but still my Shih Tzi jumps right through it, no problem. My shih tzu is younger than your little guy, so I'm not sure how he'd do with the stepover. My Mom's little Pekingese has shorter legs & refuses to use it, so I have to leave my slider open slightly if we leave. So it's just gonna depend on how agile your cocker is. It's nice, but it was HARD to install. My brother is a builder & he did it for me. It IS a great door tho.

Other than the large dog that may be inside, there is nothing to stop this. There is a thick plastic insert that blocks easy entrance when you need it, but technically if they wanted they could break the whole thing off. But really they could break through a window or flimsy door just as easily.

Yes, it comes with a piece of plastic the size of the doggie door that can slide in or out, to keep you dog from going through it. **I've had this door for almost a year and have been so pleased with it!

The dog shouldn't have to duck. You install the pet door slightly above the bottom of the door frame, or about the distance from the ground to the bottom of your dog's chest or belly. Your dog steps over the bottom of the door. So as long as your dog's torso fits easily through the door and you hang it at the proper height, your dog should have no problem going through.

Here is what I know. I have a Subaru Forrester and it fit well between the front seat and the back area. The Company that makes it stands behind their product. You would need to measure from one inside wall to the other and from the ceiling to the floor of the back space you are blocking. If you email or call the company they would give you a true idae about fit. I used extra bungies to make sure my dog could not pry his way through. He is afraid of riding in cars and gets upset. I keep him in a backseat kennel. My female dog just lives with it and lays down as she knows she is fine to wander around in thr back. DLS

It's pretty simple with two people. I had my 14yr old help me. If you plan ahead it is easier, but honestly I just started unrolling and walked around the part of my yard I wanted my dogs to be allowed in. There's about 3ft or more of a space where your dog actually gets correction before they actually get to the wire. Put the wire a bit further than you want your dog to be able to go. Some dogs are quicker than others at getting this so make sure you tke the time to walk your dog around the whole perimeter.

Absolutely not. We just tried this gate but my 20 month old figured out how to get through the pet door within minutes. He had plenty of room to get through. It's also not secure when installed as a pressure gate.

Morning Allan, I ordered these for my employer's dog. Her first dog were 22 lbs. / 24 lbs., her 2nd is 14 lbs. and both dogs fit through the doors just fine. Make sure you have an electrical outlet close to where you're going to install the doggie door. The cord is probable as long as a lamp cord. I had to have an outlet installed for one of the doors. These have been GREAT for her dogs. Gregory

My dog enters the car by the door on the side of the car, so the ramp sits on the car seat. If entering the car by the back, you probably need to put an old bath towel on the car bumper.

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.
