Dog Door Buzzers and Pet Doorbells

PetSafe, the trusted name in pet electronics, has recently introduced the PetSafe Smart Pet Doorbell. With this product, you don't have to teach your pet to press a button or jingle any bells. Your pet would wear a Smartkey™ on its collar that signals you when your pet is standing at the door. You can adjust the sensing range from anywhere from 3 inches to 15 feet. This dog door buzzer will work with up to 5 pets with the purchase of additional Smarkeys.

Pet Frenzy also sells the AutoPet Smart Chime, which is a wireless doorbell that can be used by your cat or dog to let you know when they need to go out. This dog door buzzer is designed to sound like a real dog barking or cat meowing. You will need to teach your pet how to use this dog door buzzer. If you attempt to use a dog door buzzer that requires training your pet in its use, expect it to take, on average, 4 to 8 weeks of consistent training before your pet will ring the dog door buzzer independently. So we recommend only purchasing this type of product if you are willing and able to spend the time training your pet.

In some instances, instead of using a dog door buzzer, we have heard of people hanging "jingle bells" on your doorknob. In this instance they hang a bell from a string at the door and teach the dog to ring the bell with his paw or nose when he has to go out. However, we have also heard that using such a solution can result in accidental scratches or marks on your door and the bells will ring even when a person is entering or exiting the door. The jingle of the bells heard by your pet at these times other than when he has to go outside can be very confusing to him.
