Can a tall dog accidently activate the trash (that's why we are getting it) or is the sensor pointing up not out?

Yes, a dog can activate the trashcan, mine has but luckily he was afraid of it and hasn't gone back to it!

I have a Weimariner. Tall dog. He is next to it all the time. It won't activate unless there is a body part directly above the sensor. He would have to put his head over it. Mine is a food a holic and has never done this. I would say you will have no problems.

I think the sensor is pointing up and out- it's a little hard to tell because mine doesn't always activate the first pass I make. I would think a dog could definitely activate it especially if the dog was interested in the smells.

My old touch free trash can they were able to. But like I said that one opened quicker and easier. So far this one they have not been able open.

We have a 75lb yellow lab whose head is above the lid and the can is at the entrance of the kitchen (where she begs)and the can has not opened accidentally.

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.

I would say may be...but I am using the adapter instead of batteries.So no worries about the accidental activation of the sensor.No wastage of batteries.Somehow I strongly feel that it wouldn't happen often.

I will say that if you have a smart cat or dog that really wants to get into the trash can, they will get into it. You can very easily lift the lid up without the pedal, and I would think that a dog or cat could easily push the lid up with their nose.

Our German Shepherd trips the sensor every time she walks by the bathroom. I shouldn't have placed the fan so close to the bathroom door! :)

Yes it is a motion sensor alarm. And yes if everytime you or your dog pass in front of the range of the motion sensor, it would ring the number you tied it to. There seems to be an alarm on this sensor but I have never heard it. The most I get is phone calls which is good in some respects.

I am not able to answer that question regarding a pet. We placed our sensor above a door. The sensor still pick of movement from the door. So, I would assume, that a large pet might also activate the sensor.

When it bumps into my dog such as when he's sleeping, it will turn and move, but the dog of course gets out of the way first. The vac will pause and change direction if it sees an object in its way, like me when I'm doing dishes. I love my Neato.

Just point it at the dog and press the button. It is really loud! You can test it to see just how loud it is.

While the sensor is sensitive enough to be triggered by a toy-sized dog, the dog would probably be below the range of the sensor. The average switch is mounted around 4 feet from the floor. This switch has a narrow vertical sensitivity, so a small dog would probably not be sensed.

If he is smart, it will not. If his paw or face goes over the light that opens it....it is open, and you are picking up garbage.

Good evening, I have a Golden retriever and they work well with her. I have my motion sensors approximately 6 1/2 feet on each corner. I believe they are good for up to 80lbs. I've had my sensors for 6 months and they work as well as my ADT installed sensors. For added security buy the door sensors, if the motions happen to go off and the door sensors don't then it's the dogs. Just for the peace of mind. I hope this answers your question.

Yes it is a motion sensor alarm. It is triggered in response to any motion. May be you want to put the dog outside while you are away or tie the dog in the house but let her move outside the coverage area.

If the cats move in front of the sensor, at the height where is installed, they might activate the lights. otherwise, if they just walk on the floor passing by the room, the switch will not be activated. My dog comes and goes from our laundry area without activating and turning the lights on.

My sensor(transmitter) is located under the eves of the house at the front door. I have had it there one month and it is still working on the first 99 cent battery. But birds land on it(mostly at sundown) an give false signals (it needs occasional cleaning). I would think it is better to shelter the transmitter if possible.

I don't think so, but the dog would either have to tip over the can and it is pretty heavy, or be able to push up the lid and be tall enough to reach the garbage inside. the foot pedal is the only way to open the lid otherwise. Hope that helps!

I think you may have a problem. The unit itself is a small box about 2" x about 1.5" with the spray nozzles sort of in the middle of the short end. They need free space to spray out. If your dog's hair is longer than that, and thick, you might have a problem. Alternatively, it does spray pretty powerfully, so perhaps the odor and the wet fur will be enough for your dog to detect it and respond accordingly. :-)

Not at all, if you have small animals, you place the motion sensors upside down. There are very simple, clear instructions on how to place the motion sensors when you have pets in the installation booklet

No! I had the old model for over three years and loved it-- until my cats broke the lever from helping themselves to a morsel or two in between meals. Picked up a new model last night and it seemed to set fine, yet never went off (could tell because the meal light was flashing). Just swapped it for the same model at Pet Smart and same thing happened! New model is a bit easier to program, but I'd stick to the old model if I were you!
