What dog doors are the most secure?

I just got a puppy, and my house came with a small dog door when I bought it. He fits through it now, but in 4-5 months, I will likely have to replace it with a larger dog door. A lot of what I'm looking at seem pretty flimsy, and the covers are often plastic. I remember when I was little, I could fit through the dog door at my parents' house for a while when I was 10-12 years old, and worry about skinny burglars in my neighborhood doing the same. What's a good anti-burglar dog door in the medium/large size range?

    Most secure dogs are small shit dogs. Small dogs which will bark to anything they see, specially people. Miniature pinscher for example. Small dogs are worst for thieves because they are tiny and noisy. Enough to wake you up.

    If you are worried about burglars you should also be worried about people stealing or poisoning your dog for fun. Those psychotic reddit dog haters are not a joke. Last month someone chucked rat poison wrapped in lunch meat into every yard with a fence. No reason, they just hated dogs and did not care if a particular dog was good or bad or neutral. It’s the same kind of person that commits mass shootings. Hateful, fearful, low IQ.

        They were trying to kill dogs most likely to prep one specific house for a robbery. But it could have been a rage killing because one, literally ONE house had three noisy dogs. So everyone elses dogs had to suffer I guess. Because el criminal isnt smart enough for more targeted crime.

      Fortunately, I live in a semi-rural area that is >98% white, so the most likely unfortunate outcome for the dog would be someone stealing him. I'm not super concerned about crime here, definitely not random psychotic acts like you describe, but I have a security system on my house (mostly for smoke detector monitoring when I'm not there and the dog is there), and for the sake of not just completely negating the $55/mo. I'm paying for that, I feel like maybe I shouldn't have a giant opening to my home with a flimsy plastic cover.

      How can an animal be good, bad or neutral?

        >good dog
        Doesn't bark unless someone is right up to the back fence (already over your property line or fricking around in the alley), does not make harsh barking noises in public or jump on people, "talks" with other noises and reserves barking for when they are genuinely alarmed, does not attack people or other dogs. Avoids turds and walks around puddles. Prefers to do their business on grass or dirt.
        >neutral dog
        Makes some barks when not wanted or needed, like if someone is across the street. Not the best manners, might bite you if you're not wary. Might roll in shit or get muddy sometimes. Most likely only makes three sounds, BARK, whine, and grrr. Has no problem taking a piss or shit in the middle of the road, parking lot, or petshart.
        >bad dog
        Barks all the fricking time, jumps on everything, steals food from your mouth, mauls children and other dogs. Shits and pisses everywhere if they're in a mood or aren't let out exactly on time. Only has two noises, barking and growling.

          You don't get it. Animals can not comprehend morality, so it's impossible for them to be good or evil. Using D&D alignments like "neutral" or trying to tone down your concept of evil by instead saying "bad" is also nonsense. You are talking about one thing, but all dogs are amoral--acting with no regard for morality, like all animals. Almost all dogs are trainable, though. Therefore, a dog that's acting "badly" is doing so because its owner is a piece of shit that didn't bother to train it.

            Animals can comprehend morality in the same way you comprehend morality. They're afraid of consequences for doing "bad" things. Your entire idea of good and bad is based on consequences so you are just an animal and a "bad" animal that you blame the owner for making bad is like a "bad" human who is just part of another culture, ie: an iranian that believes in child brides.

            Why would that iranian personally change and start being "good" just because you were taught that child brides were bad? Even his god says he's doing fine. You're just two dogs that were trained differently. Animals are as good and bad as people and when you pass judgement you are basically making threats by informing people that their behavior will have unwanted consequences if bad.

              This isn't morality. It's fear of reprisal.

                Every moral philosopher with a half decent argument ultimately appealed to god directly or indirectly, or an inarguable human purpose. Moral philosophy is abstracted religion. There is no material reason for morals to be based on anything but fear and desire.

                There is NO material basis for actual morality. Good and evil are not objective and nothing has a purpose or obligation to anything else. There is no logical reason for such things as obligation to exist without fear of consequences for not following them.

                All there exists is avoiding fear and chasing new highs.

                Both statements are self-contradictory. If you're trying to tell me that objective moral truth doesn't exist, as you assert, then in order to be internally consistent in your own philosophy, you are not allowed to make objective moral statements such as these. Like I said, "tell me you've never cracked a book on moral philosophy without telling me."

                Please frick off out of my thread. I'm trying to talk about dog doors, you idiot.

                There are no objective moral truths. Nothing is right, wrong, good, or bad. It just is. You’re too moralbrained to understand it.

                You are invoking objective truth to make this statement, which cancels out the stupid claim you're trying to make.

                internal consistency is a false god. its only glorified to make rules easy to imitate and people easier to predict.

                arbitrary is as correct as anything else. you can be entirely arbitrary, it does-not matter. moral right and wrong are what you say they are that minute.

                Blah blah blah. Go run your mouth with this garbage to the person over your bathroom sink. This is a thread for talking about dog doors.

                Not a moral truth. An amoral truth. It is an objective fact that there is no objective basis for anything being right or wrong.

                That means because you bought a dog door I am going to steal your dog and be satisfied with it because you’re kind of a homosexual and deserved it.

                Objective truth either exists all the time, or it doesn’t. No such thing as objective truth that is only sometimes objective.

                moral philosophy is about acting as moral as possible and being good without fault

                for there is no real reason to act consistently, even, except so other people can see you as moral and copy your actions more easily. they say something about dignity and being higher than an animal and feel good about themselves. that is also an indirect threat.

            if you want something more specific how about dogs that act like dickheads, dogs that don't, and dogs that are nice
            you can assume there's a reason they're that way obviously

              You're still not getting it. When a lion kills a zebra, is it murder? When a dog takes a toy from another dog, is it theft? When a dog humps another dog, is it rape?

                When soldiers kill each other, is it murder, or is it not because their owners permitted it?

                Those are legal terms for forbidden acts. If they were not beholden to those laws by a more powerful entity like lion society they were just those acts, not crimes. If you teach a dog that it is wrong to take food from the table, the dog can then be good or bad, because now it knows, and you have made right and wrong as it’s superior. The dog absolutely had thoughts and can show expectation of punishment. It isn’t a conditioning based robot any more than humans are.
