A Dog Door for Housebreaking Dogs?

Although in housebreaking dogs a doggie door is a handy way for your dog to get out, realize that it is just as easy for other critters to get in. That’s right, did you know that in the process of housebreaking your dog you just made your home the coolest new place to explore for your friendly neighborhood raccoons, possums, feral cats, skunks, and the occasional anorexic, greased-down thief? Your dog housebreaking expertise will really begin to pay dividends when you find your dog eagerly sharing with you all his “treasures” he just found outside. This is not to mention the typical grass, leaves, mud, and snow he’ll track in. Speaking of snow, Rover might not be too keen on your dog housebreaking plans when it involves him freezing his little paws off. Your bed may seem like a much more viable option for him in this case.

After all, your dog probably has ambitions for that doggie door beyond housebreaking, such as rearranging your furniture outside, and if you’re lucky, underground. Conjure up in your mind everything in your house the size of your dog or smaller: fair game. Did you ever think that housebreaking dogs could be so much fun? Its like an Easter-egg hunt, all year. “Honey, where’s the remote?” Uh-oh… Start digging!
