I would recommend getting a different cage or one that requires two fingers to engage a spring. Dogs are unable to open the cages that have the springs in my experience. These are similar to cat carriers that have the spring loaded mechanism on the door. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I am sorry you are having trouble with Midna! It may be that she needs some extra time and attention to learn this skill, and unfortunately there are no guarantees that she will ever get it figured out. I would try teaching her separately from the big dog for a while. See if you can get her to do it without the bigger dog around, then try to get her to "wait her turn," after the bigger dog goes through so that it doesn't whap her in the face. Best of luck to you! Thank you for asking Boop by Petco!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I honestly recommend you consider a crate where she is able to walk inside and at least turn around inside. This basically means for a German Shepherd getting the largest crate possible. Best of luck!

Cute dogs! The best advice is to take it slow - allow them to first see each other through some kind of barrier but not necessarily be able to contact each other. A baby gate in a door is perfect. If there are any signs that Kyle is overwhelmed or the puppy is overwhelmed in the beginning they should be separate. It would be best to feed them in separate areas for awhile.
