This is exactly what we we did, and it worked great! The first day, he was still pretty timid about nosing it open after our pushing/treats session, but at least he knew how it worked and would do it slowly if he needed to. By the second day though, he wasn't even pausing to nudge it open and step through - he'd just burst in and out at top speed like the flap wasn't even there, lol.
