My girls also use a doggie door. My oldest girl was 8 or 9 when we put the door in and she used it right away. My DH put ours in the wall. It has two flaps to keep the heat, cold, bugs, etc. out. It is close to the floor so it is easy to train the dogs and puppies to use it, and I have a special deck and ramp just for them. I also have a covered 12x20' fence and the fenced in yard for them. They don't like the rain, even with the cover, so I lock them outside for a few minutes in the morning and afternoon if it is raining, they don't get wet and I have less mess to clean. I don't remember the name of the company that makes the doors for the wall, but to me it was well worth it to have it.
