Am thinking about installing a dog door – but I have a large dog. How do you keep a person from entering your home while you are away if you have a dog door?
My aunt had the same problem, until they got this wonderful cover invertion. On the inside of their dog door there are slots sticking out of the door. When they want to block the Dog Door at night they simply slide the cover board into the placement slots. You dont even have to lock it because from the outside there is no way to remove the cover. If I had any links or more info on these I would share them with you but unfortunatly i don’t sorry! Best of Luck on finding your solution!

I don’t think a burglar is going to take the time or effort to go thru a dog door when another house could be easier to enter….
plus, it’s been proven that burglars tend to stay away from houses that show signs of having a dog…they don’t want to get attacked! I’ve heard of people in bad neighborhoods being advised to put a tie-out and a dog dish out in their yard, even if they don’t have a dog, just to discourage potential robbers

An electronic pet door may give you a bit more security. Your pet wears a collar with an embedded transmitter, the pet door only operates on receipt of a signal from the collar. These are designed to keep other animals out, not burglars, but if fitted correctly may offer the intruder some resistance. There are also one way pet doors that will let your dog out but not in (as well as any burglar).

They make pieces of metal that slide in front of them. They slide into place.

Well if you have a dog I dont think a burgalar will enter.
But if they do, you could always put a big box or something heavy in front of the dogdoor overnight.
