My dog doesn't get in the trash anymore!

I don't like spending so much on a small trash can but I splurged this time. This trash can exceeded my expectations. My husband even likes it.  It is very pretty, the size is perfect for my restroom and most of all my dog doesn't get in the trash anymore. I've read a feedback that the lid pops off too easily. I've accidently knocked it off once and it took me 5 seconds to reach down and put it back on. No big deal. I highly recommend this product.

I have used this trash can for four months and bought an identical second one for my daughter.  This can is the only one that has kept my German Shepherds from rummaging in the trash.  No more doggie distress from eating contraband trash items.  The money saved from vet visits and special cleaning products has paid for the cost of the can.  It eliminates odors from empty cat food cans and litter due to the tightly sealed lid.  The foot pedal operates easily and the silent close is like a dream.  I bought a smaller version for the master bath.  I love the bags as they are stronger than the typical trash bag which means no dripping if someone accidentally pours liquid into the trash.  I plan on purchasing two more for holiday gifts.

Bought this a while ago and forgot to put a review. This trash can has held up well. Easy to clean, has not broken. Works great for keeping the dogs out of the trash. The bags for it are not the standard ones but are available in a variety of stores and online (including amazon and bed, bath, and beyond). You might think it is expensive, but it is worth the extra money to not have to replace a cheap plastic one every few months to a year. Plus, it looks far better than the plastic ones and is easy to clean.

Update: Over a year later and still going strong. No issues. Still happy with it.

While my dog isn't happy she cannot distribute hair all over my backseat and is somewhat boxed in when I have it attached to the front seats, I simply don't care. :) I don't have to clean up dog hair each time she rides in the truck, and if she decides to expel anything, cleanup will be a breeze.

Quality seems just fine, price point was great, and I'm happy.

I would take my smart, highly trainable, shepherd dog to the park daily and most days he would take another dog's squeaky toy (inspite of having his own) and 5, 6, 7 minutes would pass of me trying all manner of persuasion to get the toy back to its increasingly impatient owner. Also, fetch was out of the question since he would not give up his toy for the activity. Now I use the spray commander remote control to get him to drop the toy and we play fetch, we return other dog's toys immediately. And I can stop him from eating mud and dirt with a beep from over 200 feet away. I am so pleased with the change in my dog's behavior. It is a highly effective way to train a dog and stop unwanted behaviors. Good luck.

WANT a pooper-scooper that ACTUALLY works?

This is IT! For a small dog around 10 Pounds feed premium food (the higher quality the food the smaller the poo) you won't be disappointed!

I take my puppy poo three times a day, and wash it with hot water and soap in-between. (Currently, I'm using plastic shopping bags.) IF it starts to smell or once a week, which ever comes first, I soak it overnight in pure, white vinegar to disinfect it, and take away any stench of dog poo.

WHY: Did I buy this (dog toy) to use as a pooper-scooper?

When I used to have a Smooth Miniature Dachshund puppy as a child in the 90's, there was a plastic pooper-scooper that was shaped like a cup at the end of a long plastic handle. They do not seem to make it anymore, but this dog toy comes pretty darn close. (Except for: the little edges that hold the ball to throw it.) Because it is NOT exactly the same, cleaning, and disinfecting it does take a little more time, but compared to ANY, and ALL other pooper-scooters for sale now, it works SO much better. It takes minutes to clean.

One tip: If your dog's "mess" is runny, let it dry out before scooping it so it won't stick to the plastic.

If you can't: CLEAN-UP is still quicker, and easier than with ANY other pooper-scooper, but the poo may stick. (Just a warning.)

I recently bought this item for my dog (Hound/Boxer mix) a few weeks ago and the thing is still in tact! Typically I always hesitate when buying things for her because she destroys them within an hour, most times less. That being said, dog toys get expensive because of how many I'm always having to buy. When I ordered this item I had my typical hesitation and doubt but alas, ITS STILL HERE! The ball inside is crunched down but the rubber membrane around it is still in tact. Currently she's laying at my feet crunching away at it. So happy to finally find something to keep her occupied. I will be purchasing a few more for my dog as well as gifts for the neighbors dogs as well soon. Thank you JW Pet Company! You're my hero.

When my newly adopted dog decided to start invading my under-the-counter (behind a cabinet door which I could not lock up) trash can, I needed a solution fast for her safety and my sanity.  This trash can has done the trick.  First I tried leaving it out in the kitchen with the lock on, but she tore the bag at the exposed edge.  Luckily, none of the actually trash came out and all I had to do was wash out the inside.  After that incident, I wheeled the can into my pantry, where due to its slim size it fits nicely next to her food bin.  We now have a childproof lock on the pantry doors, so the trash and my dog are both safe.

Follow the instructions from other reviews about how to get the top on.  I had no trouble pressing it down on the floor at an angle as suggested.  The lock was a bit stiff, so my husband applied some lubricant and it works much better now, although we don't use it anymore since the can is locked in the pantry when we're not home.  The pedal opening mechanism has worked great and I like how the top can stay up when you need it too.  All in all, very happy with this purchase!  (I use the gripper top regular kitchen bags.)

My dog lover to shred his toys apart. He rips the seems and get all the stuffing and squeakers out. This has none of that, so he can rip it up as much as he likes and I have no mess to clean!

I have a 90lb doberman who is a trash can junkie.  I have not been successful in breaking him of this bad habit.  I decided to give this trash can a try as it was said to be dog proof.  Yea.  It works.  Zues can't get into it and believe me he has tried.
Thank you

Right now I love this thing! We had a swinging door litter box but she hated the door so we removed it. This caused litter to track even worse in our main bathroom. Having a dog that always wanted a snack from it I wanted to find something like this. Therefore, I finally took the plunge. I didn't leave the old one beside it but put some of her old litter in with new so it had her sent and she's used it every since. Litter is staying at the top and barely on the floor. It has such thick platic you really don't need the liners. I put baking soda on the bottom before filling with any litter but I honestly couldn't be any happier with my purchase! Also it does help keep dogs out but really only small ones. A bigger dogwouldhave to stick its head in but I don't know if they'll do that.

I purchased this after my German Shepherd went through my double paned glass window when he saw another dog walking by outside.  I placed the disk on my window sill and he hasn't gone near the window since.  This has been a lifesaver!

THIS IS AWESOME! Our cocker-spaniel is ironically named Messi (after the soccer player) but turns out, he is living up to his name... Messi has knocked over our trash can with ease time after time again, with the most recent time being the worst, coffee grinds deep into the carpet, rotten vegetables and perishables, so after that incident I decided I needed to look into a trash can that locks, I had never heard of them but figured they had to exist... I was hesitant and not sure they would work, but I read good reviews on this product so I decided to purchase it. Well not only does it look good, is easy to lock and unlock, however, we have had our first success! We came home the other night with the trash can knocked over in the middle of the living room, with scratches (not noticeable, since its black) and chew marks on the trash bag, but alas the trash was still in the can untouched and Messi had given up trying to get to it. THANK YOU!! Will definitely recommend this product to anyone that has the same issue!

This thing is amazing! No more slobbery mess. Every dog owner should have this. She hasn't tipped it yet but even if she did, nothing would come out. Great invention!

In my old apartment my trashcan stayed in a broom closet, so it wasn't an issue with my dog.  When we moved a few months ago and the trashcan sat against a kitchen wall without a buffer, I realized that I had a manic trash overturning eating destroying 15# ball of fur living with me. It only took a few times coming home from errands to realize my old crappy plastic upright trashcan needed to go away.  I did put the can on top of the counter, but I have limited counter space (and am short!) and just couldn't live like that.  I'd always admired the wonderful design of SimpleHuman and coveted their products.  I did my research and cashed out a stowed away gift card and got my dog-deterrent can. Arrived USPS (yay! Since it could go to my PO Box) and I happily started using it.  After a month the dog has not even noticed it, there has been no trash strewn around my apartment and it is so cleverly designed. With a flick of a lever the flaps stay in the open position, which is great for several runs to the can in a row while cleaning up from a cooking extravaganza.  I even felt confident enough to relocate its kitchen position to next to the trash eating monster's food dish, and she hasn't as much sniffed it.  It was a major investment to me at this point in my life, but totally worth it to never have to clean chewed up teabags from my carpet again.

Oh, and regular 13 gal trash bags work fine.  They include a few of theirs, but not worth the money.  The old crappy plastic trashcan found a new life by the backdoor to hold the recycling, where it is not in jeopardy of being attacked by the fluffy monster.

We purchased this trash can to prevent our dog from getting in the trash while we're gone.  It works great!  The lock is sturdy, but not too difficult to maneuver.
