I forgot about that one. A couple was arrested this week. They
had been using their 11 yr old to gain entrance to houses through
doggie doors for 5-6 years.

Google 'doggie door burglary' for some eye opening stories and videos.

When I got my new house I made sure the laundry room had an outside door so
I could put in a doggie door and, if they were muddy etc, they would at
least have a place to enter the house before they got to the carpet. After
a lot of consideration I have not yet installed a doggie door. I just
figure that we'd end up with rats, squirrels, rattlesnakes, spiders, and who
knows what else (coyotes maybe) in the house.

I'm kinda surprised that there are many burglaries via doggie doors. Don't
most doggie doors have a dog on the other side of them? I'd also think that
many, if not most, dogs would be likely to attack a kid coming through the
doggie door.

Yet another reason to put double cylinder deadbolts on all exterior
doors. I want my burglars to break a window, and carry my stuff out
through the broken window.

The one I know. The guy next door (who the dog knew and
liked) was in the home to watch pay TV while the woman was
at work. She wondered what were all those charges for porn
flicks when she doesn't watch porn.

ify you have more than one dog they will endlessely want in and out,
and the owner must get home on schedule to let them go pottie.

with a dog door they get fresh air, exercise, and sunshine. the owener
isnt on a schedule trhe dogs do their thing........

a happy dog is much less likely to damage your home

Yea, but the dog has to be there at the right time. Sheep might have a
little trouble sneaking in but mice seem to be waiting for someone to open
the regular door so I figure a doggie door would be too easy.
