Although I've never seen or installed one, I've seen security dog door
devices advertised at Smarthome dot com. The dog wears a collar with an
access control activator and the door wont open unless it senses the
device in the collar. It may have some down sides, but you'd have to
investigate it to find out if it would work in your case.

I guess worst case . ...... you might wake up one night with some guy
standing over your bed ...... wearing a dog collar.
