6 Tape the flap open to help your pet become familiar with the pet door opening. When your pet is more comfortable let the flap down and operate the SmartDoor™ in UNLOCKED Mode encouraging your pet to push through the flap. Once your pet is comfortable entering and exiting through the closed flap, set SmartDoor™ to AUTOMATIC Mode and operate with your pet’s programmed SmartKey™. Walk your pet up to the SmartDoor™ until the SmartKey™ is detected and flap unlocks. Repeat training your pet to walk up to SmartDoor™ and push open flap to the other side.
Helpful Tip: Try treats to encourage your pet to push through the SmartDoor™ flap.
