 Gun Dog House Door - Easy Pet Door Opening: 11 1/2" x 14 1/2"
External Dimensions: 14" x 17 1/2" The Easy Pet Door is lighter version of the more rugged Gun Dog House Doors. The 1/4" thick Plexiglas is reinforced with metal along the very top and the bottom. Close tolerances mean that you will have less air leakage that other rigid flap model kennel doors. The hinged Plexiglas swings both ways due to a "piano hinge" along the top of the door. This bi-directional, piano hinge makes the Easy Pet Door one of the quietest doors on the market. Other rigid-flap pet doors can make a great deal of noise because they slam against the pet door frame when they close, but the Easy Pet Door swings silently back to the closed position. As an optional feature a closing can panel can be added to this door at any time. This 1/4" thick HDPE panel comes with side rails for easy installation and use. While the closing panel is suitable for blocking off access through the pet door, it will NOT lock into place. If a lockable closing panel is required you will need to look into purchasing an aftermarket device.
The Easy Pet Door is recommended for older dogs that may have arthritis or for those dogs that are more timid, or shy, about using a rigid flap dog door.

Step #1: Measure the belly height of your pet from ground level to his underside to find correct height of the door opening. Cut opening 12” wide x 17” high. Allow at least a 1 ½” flat outside mounting surface.
Step #2: Place Door over opening and use the enclosed four, 1” wood screws to hold door to dog house.
Step #3: Show your dog how to use the door. Your dog will learn to use your pet door almost at once, but there are a few which may show a bit more nervousness at first.
Tips:
• The most important rule is to be patient
• Do not let the dog have a bad experience with the door or it may become frightened.
• Most dogs can be trained to use a pet door in a matter of hours. Your dog will respond to encouragement, repetition, and play in particular.
• If you have children, get one of your youngsters to stand on one side of the door, calling and encouraging your dog to join his buddy.
• Alternatively, use the door flap as part of a game – throw a ball through, for instance. As your dog responds to your encouraging calls, help it through the door, patting and congratulating it. Repeat the game several times, continually encouraging the animal with positive gestures and comments. Within a short time your dog will be totally familiar with its pet door and use it happily on its own.
