Door if it is in/near kitchen. Walls can be a little tricky. You can have one installed in a glass slider, not cheap but you will love it if you need too.

At the old house I installed a PlexiDor in a door. At the current house same thing but did a through-wall installation. They were both tricky in their own way. The door was metal so I had to use a Sawzall with a metal blade and then due a little grinding for fine tuning. In the wall installation I had to trim out the "tunnel" with some pine board. Both installations came out really nice.
I'd say do whichever works best geographically/logistically/operationally, as it's not that much extra work to do a through-wall if you'd rather have the dog door positioned in a particular spot. |

I don't like dog doors just because with my luck I'd wake up to him doing battle with a skunk or raccoon in the kitchen in the middle of the night and that's not a mess that I'm willing to deal with.

We had a homemade one for years that opened into an enclosed cement pad with chain link fence. I just got one From Chewy.com to replace it. The old one let in a lot of cold air in the winter. The new one seals up well when the dogs go in or out. It's worth it to spend a little more for the better ones.

I saw a really cool one in a video awhile back. Dog had an e-collar on and when he approached the door it slid up into the wall automatically and closed after he went thru. Pretty badass.
Not sure if real but it's a great concept. |

The electronic doors are real. Plexidor makes one, as do at least a couple of other companies.

I got one that fits in a sliding glass door. It is a full panel that you just close the in the door jamb.
It is good, but probable needs to be in a door YOU do not use. |

Anybody use one? Door or wall pass thru? Moving to a new house and doing a kitchen renovation....our dog is constantly in and out. Both of my girls can easily hold it for 12 hrs so its a non-issue for me anyway. 'If' one is going to have an accident - They will go do it on the liner in their crate before resuming their position guarding my couch.
