Subject: RE: my dog is running into my screen door, help Focker - 2012-11-19 10:22 AM We just had a retractable screen door installed, the kind that coil up and are held by a magnet. Anyway, my dog ran through it the other day and the frame came of the rails and had to have the guy come back and fix it. I was wondering if anybody has the same situation. I was thinking of placing a piece of duck tape on the screen so they can see it but it looks ugly. Was also just thinking about putting something in front of the door low to the ground to deter them from running though the door. Needs to be something removable and easy to step over for us to walk in and out of the door. Any suggestions.. I'd wait and see if the dog figures it out. Dogs are typically smart. You could probably use some electrical tape to make a not-as ugly design on the bottom part of the screen. That being said, mine still sorta would do this if I was opening the glass door to let them out and the screen door was closed behind it. I finally took to just leaving the screen door open unless it was the only door....simply to avoid the dogs running into it. As long as they saw me close the screen door they were fine. They just didn't see the screen behind the glass. And for the screened in porch door I finally had to get a solid-bottom door...they made their own doggie door out of the screen-bottom door. *sigh* |
