I have a dog door and love it. I work long hours and my dogs will not use a pee pad so it would be horrible to expect them hold it. My dogs are 11 and 16 lbs so they are not tiny but I think even with a smaller dog I would still be comfortable. My yard has a concrete cinderblock wall that is very tall so you cant see in or out. Its beyond secure for dogs. I worry most about bee's or spiders but mine dont hang out outside they pee and go back in. My current foster is the only dog Ive ever had that worries me with the door and its because she spends her whole day outside rolling in the grass her chance of bee or spider bite is greater. I guess it depends on the dog, fencing and neighborhood.
