Helpful Tip: Try treats to encourage your pet to push through the Pet Door flap.
NOTE: The Pet Door is designed with an electric motor to release and unlock flap
when a SmartKey

seconds for the unique code of the SmartKey
door flap to unlock.

Tape the flap open to help your pet become familiar
with the pet door opening. MAKE SURE TAPED FLAP IS
SECURE AND WILL NOT FALL DURING TRAINING.
When your pet is more comfortable let the flap down and
operate the Pet Door in UNLOCKED Mode encouraging
your pet to push through the flap. Once your pet is
comfortable entering and exiting through the closed flap,
set the Pet Door to AUTOMATIC Mode and operate with
your pet's programmed SmartKey
your pet up to the Pet Door until the SmartKey
Key is detected and flap unlocks. Repeat training your
pet to walk up to the Pet Door and push open flap to the
other side (Fig. 6A).
During pet training, while pet door is in UNLOCKED Mode, make
sure to GENTLY lower flap onto pet's back. Also avoid possible injury
by making sure your pet is entirely through the pet door opening,
including paws and tails, before completely releasing flap.
