Does he work by just patting his head or kissing his cheek or prssing his paw, mine don't

It has been a bit since I bought it and my grandson has it but I believe it did when we got it

If they tested it on animals they would have softer, moister skin. I must admit that I have "tested" it on my dog. He can't resist "paw?" and I have done that while using it myself. He didn't have a negative reaction, no indication of pain or even displeasure. His pads don't scratch me like they have in the past and he must find it delicious! I have to put socks on to keep him from licking it off of my paws!

Yes it talks. You press one if its ears and it sings. You press the other and it says a few phrases. The mouth moves when it sings and talks.

Yes, I do. Plug it in where he spends most time. Sometimes it takes a few days to have effects work best. I agree with others about doing other things as well to help him acclimate.

I do not know. I do know that it works well for the uses that it is recommended for. Probably the scratching and biting when playing with you will have to be a behavior modification project.

My cat acts the same way. To the best of my knowledge there is no catnip in the mouse. :)

No, it does not require physical activity, but the dog using it's brain. I would start with an easy one. The dog Treat Maize may get your dog too excited, as he tries to get the treats out. I like the DOG Brick - you could at first remove the upright parts, that makes it easier for your dog to use either his nose or his paw to slide the bricks. As he gets real good at it, put the upright parts into it, which he then has to remove with his mouth. You may also keep him on his leash to keep him from moving around a lot while he tries to solve the puzzle. I think the Dog Magic would be a good one to start with. Have Fun!

When you touch his feet and tummy, he laughs! He does not talk. He just laughs.

Yes. We have our groomer clip the nails and put on the soft paws during the grooming process.

I agree with previous comment: my lab became so focused on rubbing his nose to get it off that he no longer enjoyed walking. Bought it - it does work but I no longer use it as even after several days of using it my lab never got used to it.

Well, I don't know about dogs paws but I can tell you that I've had Physical Therapists and Chiropractors (at my request) spray it directly on my skin as a base for KTaping - and they've not questioned it.

It's a learning process. An extreamly timid cat or dog may take weeks or months to warm up to the door most will learn with encouragement within the first day. Some will play with the door sticking their paw or nose out the door without going all the way through. Don't let them out through another door to do their duty or in from outside unless you know you are endangering their health. My oldest pet likes the idea of having a door man; makes her feel loved. I walk away from the family door and she will go to the plexidor.

Not really. There are battery electronics inside to make him sing and respond to pressing the colors. The outside can be surface scrubbed with soap and water...

I trained dog to come using vibrate and treats. If he doesn't respond to the vibrate I then nick him to get his attention. I rarely have to nick now. I have an 8 year old Border Collie. I got him 18 months ago & had to train him.

It took me a while as my DS was not that patient, yet he did enjoy biting and tossing them around in the beginning. All I can do is to show him every time I play with him. Eventually he learnt it pretty well after couple months.

Part of it will depend on the size of your dog. I used this for my cat, who is taller and longer than all three of my other cats. After a week or two, he was able to figure out how to get to his paws. I might suggest adding some of the pet self-stick bandage on the paw. Between the two it should discourage the licking.

If you are consistent and work with them a lot it will train them to walk politely with a normal collar. You can't just use the collar and then expect that they will know to translate that behavior to a regular one. There are training instructions provided in the package if I recall correctly. Personally I just this continually with my dog because it is safer than having the pressure on the neck.
