I have a new 8-week old puppy who we are slowly crate training and doggie door training. I want to adopt a little kitten for my daughter. But how do we make sure she does not use the doggie door - at least in the early weeks...

Locking her in a different room is not an option - the idea is for the puppy and kitty to learn to be friends and enjoy each other, so they will both have freedom to roam in the house as friends. The doggie door will not be used in the early stages, but as I introduce the pup to it, I do not want the "still small" kitten to use it

The people who recommend the electronic door... What happens if the pup lets the kitten out, or with the speed of a kitten she flies through the door with the pup. Since the pup has the "magic" collar and the kitten does not... what happens when the pup returns but the kitten does not because she is busy playing somewhere els in the back yard or sleeping in the shade back there?

Try a heavier spring on the door

Use double sided tape on the floor in a huge sufficient section the cat would might want to step on it. Their fur receives stuck to it sufficient they're going to be aggravated and not in any respect use that door. Or get a twig water bottle and at the same time as the cat is going close to the doggie door spray her formerly she leaves.

Get on the other side of the door, open it a little
with the cat on the inside and give a little spritz
of water in its face. Repeat several times over several
days. It'll learn the otherside of the door is a bad place.

It is nearly impossible to keep the kitty from using the dogie door.. YOU MIGHT try, however, using a stronger material on the doggie door.. such as a stiffer plastic.. stiff enough so the kitty can not push itself out but the doggie can

You can buy infrared pet doors that are remote controlled by tags on the pets. You put a special tag that comes with the door on whichever pet is allowed out/in etc (you can set it on in-only or out-only or both), and this will trigger the door for that pet only. For the rest of the pets without the tag, the door remains locked. Hope this helps. Good luck!

You can keep her in a different room, and most cats are afraid of the noise of the closing of the door.

You could get an electronic hatch. It can only be opened by an animal wearing a special collar.
