Would love to hear from anyone with a doggy door and CYV and your experiences.

We do not have a CYV or a doggie door but saw a doggie door on a website yesterday that was operated by magnetic switch to open and close. The magnet attaches to the dog's collar and it can be set to open at various distances such as 3 feet. This may help in your case.

Thanks, it certainly is a thought. Usually I don't like to keep a collar on my dogs for fear that they will get it caught on something and could possibly choke themselves (I know there are two schools of thoughts on wearing collars when not attended) but that may be the only possible solution if I start hearing from people that critters are finding their way into my home uninvited.
