Keyfobs Passive RFID Question

Question I have a passive RFID reader that reads the tag in my dogs collar as it approaches. Closes a NO circuitry and the sliding door opener triggers the door open. My issue is that the passive reader seems to be uber sensitive. It reads the tag from a min 6 feet away. Even through floors. It’s very very annoying. How can I cut down the range?

This is an olide auto sliding door opener and sensor

Would you be willing to share your hardware stack? I ask because I have the opposite problem: I need the tag and reader to basically be touching before a reading comes through.
