Can much older dogs be trained to it?

It has nothing to do with age. My younger dog got trained to use it by my older dog. And secondly you need to give treats to reinforce good behavior. Like after they use the dog pee container then give them a treat.

I assume it depends on the dog. My dog wants to please so she is easy to train, she was 6 when I got this. If they know the command bathroom I am sure you could put them on it and tell them the command, then reward when they use it with a treat.

Recently, my 10 yr. old basset's arthritis has progressed so after a period of inertia, last evening or first arrising in the morning, she is unable to handle stairs. I'm going to try this or something like it and let you know how we work it out together.

Hello Amie, you can train up to 3 dogs separately. There are individual buttons for each dog and different programs regarding vibration and shock settings. The intensity of the stimulation can also be selected. The device is overall very sturdy and made for long lasting. The only downside is that it does not turn an and off automatically. It needs to be turned on and off each time manually. I got used to it now and it doesn't bother me anymore. This brand is my favorite trainer now. Greetings! S.

I don't know if it will, I am not familiar with the training methods. However ,I did get great results using it on my Mastiff mix . I have an older lab/pit mix and my younger mastiff can be quite aggressive with him. After a couple hits of the dog repeller followed by a stern " no" , she is leaving him alone. I would definitely give it a try, I was sceptical about purchasing it, but now I'm glad I did. I also use it on my very aggressive rescue cat. She's worse than a pitbull when she gets ticked off. The last time she tried to attack me, I hit the repeller and she backed off.

The only thing I could think of that would stop you from learning 2 or more dogs is their size and comfort. I used mine for a large German Shepherd. It's a nice piece of equipment, I just know it will depend on the size(s) of your dog(s) and weight. Mine was a little self conscious at first about getting in and being pushed around but after the second ride, he stood in there like he was the king and I was his pheasant servant pushing him around. Enjoy!

That is a GREAT question. I have no idea about the answer. I also have two dogs but do not train them at the same time. It would be bedlam. Maybe contacting the maker would give the answer you need. Good luck with your dogs. Shirley.

I would say yes. The sensor points up, but a tall dog could easily put its snout up to activate it. I have a golden retriever and it has never activated the sensor (yet). Worst case, you could remove the batteries and it becomes a manual lift.

Yes, if your dog is already leash trained. I would recommend starting training up and down a street first.

I'm not sure, but this particular product is for bigger dogs - perhaps you would want something more directed toward puppies for now.

I have two different size dogs. It seem to work better for my dog who weighs about 60lbs my other dog who weighs about 80lbs it wouldn't stop her. But I think also matters how old your dog is. If you start them as a puppy they respond better than being an older dog

If they were young pups yes perhaps couple months old - but if they were fully grown no I dont think so they would have no room to lay down or move around I would not advise it to be used for more than 2 dogs at a time of a small breed fully grown, Hope this helps.

Possibly...but my experience is with 2 dogs, one that is 48lbs and one 95lbs. This product is a life/time saver.

I would think that would be easy to train your puppy to find the grate outside and use that spot if that's what the puppy is used to going on inside. I have not done that with any of my dogs but am fairly confident it can be done since dogs are such creatures of habit.

I too have three older dogs, they would not go near it. Tried lots of tricks, nothing worked, gave it away.

No, but training them together is not advised. Be sure to keep one in the kennel and out of hearing distance while training the other. Otherwise, they'll hear the click and be waiting for the treat that will never come... It's a great training aid and I've had awesome results training my six year old chihuahua multiple tricks. Good luck!

I don't know what you consider older, my dog is a 6 year old German Shepherd (probably considered middle-aged) and it's her favorite toy!

I'm sure it will, but it only made my poor dog worse. I won't ever use one again. He was already a nervous dog. Instead you should order Grisha Stewart traing books. BAT training is a nice way to train and it works so much better. It is taking time, but as he is trusting me not to punish him and give him nicer alternates, he is getting much better. It's cheaper, better, and you get a more trusting pet.

Read my review on PetZoom Park Deluxe. My dog is old and I was able to retrain him. Took three weeks. Just have to be more stubborn than doggie, but you I think you will find my review helpful. AND, I added more suggestions.
