Doggie doors are the devil! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Peanut is 4 pounds @ 6 years old and he loves his Doggy door.

Well at first he didn't want to go through the flaps.. so I took them off. They were the thick plastic type flaps- they were also pretty heavy. I guess DH said they didn't have a x small so he had to get a small doggy door. So what I did was: I took them off and I took a piece of brown blanket and cut it- I Macgyver’d it up in between the middle ( we have a wall doggy door) and now he loves it, and I have that piece of blanket so it keeps all the bugs from coming in.

I would honestly just work with her. Treats are a wonderful thing. I had to treat train Peanut to go up his new ramp for the bed. Works like a charm.

I'll have to admit I'm no fan of doggie doors for any dog, especially the little Yorkie, who has no business being out all on his or her own where just anything can go wrong. Tibbe once walked through a 3" opening in the space between the gate and post when I stepped into the house to take a phone call!
