How do I get my dog to use the doggy-door to go outside and come back in if she’s scared of the door?
lfyorkmo asked:
She’s a sheltie and very skittish. We’ve tried enticing her with treats and holding the flap open. She paws at the bottom of the doggy-door square-opening (between bottom of doggy door flap and the bottom of the actual door) as if she’s afraid it will trip her. I know she fits through the door because we’ve put a leash on her and gently pulled her through to show her how to use it, but it hasn’t helped. She doesn’t respond to treats or positive encouragement.

My dog is a little bushon/maltese and is too scared to go through her doggy door? I have tried to get her to come through using food but nothing seems to work!
