How do I get my 10month old puppy to stop playing with it and 'bunching' it up? I'd like to keep it nice and flat if there are any ideas out there

That's a tough one, I put a slightly smaller bath mat under mine. That seems to help. You can also try a little Vicks pups don't like the smell of it. Hope it helps.

Dog hair is a problem for us, too. I was actually concerned that the sheep balls would collect too much dog hair. They collect some but not much. I did use a piece of tape to remove it from them. I tend to use a sticky lint roller or pieces of packing tape to remove the dog fur from things. Tedious but nothing else seems to work. Maybe I will try some dryer sheets for that...thanks! Might try the dryer sheets plus the sheep balls at the same time.

My daughter was (and still is at 7) incredibly attached to this puppy. I've thrown it in the washer and dryer, and amazingly it comes out pretty good and still barks. WHat I would recommend however, is to buy 3 or 4 of them. I bought some additional ones for less on ebay and kept a stash. I'd let my daughter see it go in the washer and dryer, then swap for a new one in the dryer so the new one comes out nice and warm.

The size isn't the problem. I think it's too difficult for a puppy to use. If the pup gobbles food better to get the Indipets bowl with a bump in the middle. That worked better for my 10 month old. He was so frustrated with the Kyjen that he just flipped it over.

I have a pom and she uses it 2-3 times before we change it. Strangely she won't poop on it, she poops on a rug nearby and we pick it up with a tissue. TG she has firm stool. lol

It sounds like a small puppy. If there really isn't any chewing, I think it would work well, unless the puppy can climb. (One of my dogs used to scramble over baby gates when she was a puppy.)

It depends, you may have to wait until your puppy gets older, especially if he/she is hyper. My rabbits react to the clicking and do the tricks I ask for based on knowing they will get a treat, which is the key. Best of luck.

My best suggestion would be to buy one of the doggie booster seats/ beds that have an opening in the back for the seatbelt attachment to fit through. Therefore, when the dog circles around before he lays down, his feet would not touch the release. Hope this helps!

I tried to get my German Shepherd to use the bed by using treats and coaxing. He would get up on it, but he'd get down as quickly as he could--usually after I'd stepped away. If your dogs have been up on their beds several times and still won't use them, perhaps, like my dog, they don't like the "feel" of it; some dogs are more sensitive about their balance. I gave it 2 weeks, trying every day to get my dog to use it, then gave up and shipped it back.

So far, I have not had that problem. I use the larger wee pad and just lay it on top. However, my dogs are adults and don't have the tendency to shred paper. I don't know what a busy puppy may do.

Mine is REALLY hard (not at all squishy) and 4.5 inches. My puppy is 3 months old and about 20 lbs. She likes it but has a really hard time trying to pick it up. She usually gets about 2 steps and it falls out of her mouth.

Not to my knowledge! I no longer have mine as I went to a grooming table because this was a bit small for my little guy! Would it be possible to jam something into it to keep it from moving so much?Since I don't have mine now I can't try to see if that would work. I'm so sorry I couldn't be more help. My little guy is about 27 lbs. and doesn't fit on it anymore.

Maybe try kicking it for your dog to chase after. Maybe if you start out playing with it with him he'll become more interested & enjoy it. My dog absolutely loves it.

Try something else. My female Amstaff, which is nearly 2yrs old, was able to destroy this ball within several minutes. She too is notorious for destroying anything with a center hole. However, we've had OK experiences with the black Extreme Kong toy (treat feeder) but even those don't seem to last but maybe a month or so if left in her possession. For balls or chew toys, I would look elsewhere, as we currently are. We'll likely try the Goughnuts next also.

I have the same issue when my pups jump up on the panels.....I've found weaving bungee cords in and out thru adjoining panels helps significantly. Hope this helps! I still LOVE the pen, so much better than crating! :)

The dog is telling you it needs to be disciplined through proper training. Only then I would recommend you repair or replace your carpet. Otherwise, you will have a repeat offender. Sorry, but it really is the best solution to your question.
