Boy did we luck out today. A new Anna Marie CYV on an oversized corner lot became available today in Pennecamp. It has grass on three sides and more property than my current 4 bedroom home sits on now. We signed the contract immediately based on pictures only. We have been looking for 7 months now and finally found a house that mets our needs and those of our dogs.

Anyway, since there is now a lanai between our home and the yard we are thinking about putting in a doggie door in the lanai. We do not want to have to open two doors for them and also not be able to hear them when they want to come in. Right now we just slide our door open and when they want to come in one barks and the other just stares through the door using her Yorkie mind tricks. Seems to work as I always know what she wants and do it.

We have no experience with doggie doors at all. Your experience with training your pets to use them, where to install them and which kind are the best will be appreciated. We have seen some that work by magnetic force but that involves putting something on the collars of the dogs and Yorkies are a toy breed and most of these gizmos are large in comparison to the dogs.

Idealy we would like to put a doggie door both on the house and Lanai as one of out dogs can stay out most of the day and we have to, yes have to, check every 15 minutes to see if she wants to come in as she just sits there as I mentioned above. Anyone have two doors?
