Giz/Emma and everyones pets on the board

Either that or they have a special collar that opens the door for the wearer of the collar.

Edit.... Mike confirmed this

 

No, but we should work with Flicka on this.

 

is there a safety feature if it malfunctions to keep from squashing someone?
Are they sliding doors or swinging Doors?

 

Leftover rib bones from my Christmas prime rib went to good use.


There was no cracking of the bones as the roast was rare, but I used the opportunity to have William allow me to take the bone from him while he was chewing on it. He had no problem with letting me take the bone from his mouth. I gave it back after praising him. I feel this was a very important step today, as it shows William respects and trusts me.

Who's the Alpha now?

 

Doors are power up and gravity +/- counter weight down Zero risk of squashing. BTW, door is locked tight when down until the cord starts is lift. Steel reinforcement whenever we are out of town and the dogs are at the pet sitter. Pretty much foolproof.

 

Well, that's just a cooler than cool setup right there man
Should make life easier for you and the animals

 

Ahh, I had guessed that they had proximity transmitters on their collars. Hope the wildlife doesn't learn to use the switch

Love giving the "kids" something special like rib bon

They won't unless they figure out how to put magnets around their necks...

 

That's the plan. The prior dog doors worked for the dogs, but they were horribly leak for heat/AC in the winter/summer and took up half of our sliding glass doors. Should be a big improvement on both fronts.

 

Had some good fun the other day At my daughter's house, my son in law's boy, was babysitting a French Bulldog that he brought with him, I was having so much fun playing with him that I didn't even think to take a picture.
He turned into a buddy real fast, even with all the other people there, he was following me around and everything.
My daughters cats made a beeline upstairs when he showed up

 

I really like those dogs. They have great temperments.

 

Very good. Both my labs are that way. Good to know how they will react. Some dogs have food aggression. I'm told it can be treated, but I was not willing to get bitten whenever I had a rescue dog with this problem. The reason I have labs is because they are known to be gentle. With eight grand children, having no bite dogs is a must.

 

I only see food aggression if I'm a tad bit late on feeding time. Hmm. I guess I don't see too much of that even

 

How many dogs are under that blanket ????...........................

 

Well, that didn't last long, the only thing still intact are the rubber kongs and they will only play with them if I smear pb on them. That red firehose thing was "the toughest soft chew toy we make"

I think I'll just stick with the marrow bones, somebody gave me the idea of restuffing them with a ricotta/veggie mix and freezing them.

 

Same issue here. We use a marrow bone stuffed with "Roll Over" which is a meat stick sold @ the pet store.
