Snatchel, they make a doggie-door/electric color combo now that keeps the pet door closed unless an animal wearing a special collar tries to go through it. Then it will admit them (or let them out) and lock behind them. The door is made of a clear plastic/lexan type of material, and the video (below) claims it is bullet proof and cannot be defeated from outside. (In reality, nothing is invincible to a determined burglar, but if you can slow 'em down for long enough, they'll quite rather than risk getting caught.)snatchel wrote:What makes me nervous is our doggy door.. the cats and dog go in and out all day, maybe I should start closing it. Just out of curiosity, I checked to see if I could fit through it one day.. I'm not bit- 5'6 and 175 lbs... but still. What makes me even more nervous is the idea of someone stealing my dog :(
Food for thought.
