Putting in a doggie door made the difference of 75% success vs 100% success with Edie. It is the single best thing I ever did for her.
Let me tell you a story---
Shortly after installing the doggie door Edie got up in the middle of the night. She went down her ramp (from our bed) and then I heard her "thump thump thump" down the stairs. I heard her pitter patter through the dining room and kitchen and then I heard her doggie door open.
I went to my bedroom window and looked out to our fenced back yard. There was Edie, doing her business at 3 a.m.
After she was done, I hear the doggie door open, pitter patter through the kitchen, thump thump thump up the stairs, and up the ramp to our bed. I WAS SO PROUD!!! |
