Pet Door Solutions for Puppies, Small Dogs, and Anxious Pets

Many puppies, small dog breeds, and anxious pets struggle with traditional flap-style pet doors. The requirement to push through a rigid flap can cause fear, hesitation, or prolonged training challenges.

Why flap doors are difficult for some pets

• Pets must push through unfamiliar materials

• Flaps can create noise or resistance

• Puppies and small dogs may become frightened

• Training can take weeks or fail entirely

How SmartSlydr reduces training stress

SmartSlydr removes the flap entirely. The sliding door opens automatically when an authorized pet approaches, allowing pets to walk through naturally without fear or resistance.

This design is especially helpful for:

• Puppies

• Small dog breeds

• Anxious or rescue pets

• First-time pet door users

Common questions
