Will it keep a really smart Labrador Retriever out of the trash? Our dog had managed to get into every trash can we've tried.

I think the only way he could get in is if he were to happen to step on the pedal at the base of the can that opens it.

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

Depends upon what shape your trash can is. If it's big and square at the top, probably not. If it's cylindrical and tall, probably will.

Might work, we have a 100 lb lab mastiff mix that has room to spare. We use the tightest on everything with lots of room to let it out.

Yes, our grandson figured it out in a couple of months on how to get it off, but you shouldn't have any problem with your lab. It works great if little fingers don`t get a hold of it.LOL

depending on the type and size of dog you can have this trash can against the wall and attach some weight or weights to the metal wall spacer or just tape it to the back as you won't see it, and also use a rubber grip mat underneath to keep it from sliding, anyways good luck! We have to do the same thing as our dog likes to nudge everything around!

Well, it is electric and has an electrical cord so that would be an issue and if it was outdoors then debris would likely be falling into the uncovered container and could well clog the workings of the device, so might present problems. One response states that they use it in the garage and I can understand that would work, but I don't keep my animals in the garage so I cannot address that option.

I guess maybe if you have a really aggressive dog, it might try to tear it apart; but a normal dog won't My dog smells food in there, but would never do anything like that; but then I have a golden retriever.

I have had this trash can since August. So far nothing has gotten into it or "eaten a whole in the bottom"! I thought I needed a bungee cord to keep the "giant racoons" out, however, I have not found a bungee that fits or works! So far, so good!

I don't think it's meant to catch the poop, it goes out the tail hole (not a bad thing, otherwise you've got poo stuck to fur). It did a great job for my elderly Maltese who was incontinent. It really improved both our quality of life, as we weren't stressed out about puddles she couldn't control.

Your dog will NOT be able to get out. My dog destroyed several other crates and could not be contained until I got this one. If you have an escape artist, this crate is well worth the price.

No, I have not used it as a trash can. Since the latching mechanism is one you would have to open/close by hand, as a trash can it might be cumbersome. That said, "IF" you are looking to keep your pets out of the trash, this would definitely work, and you would have the freshest trash on the block - LOL! Wondering: why not look at the Simplehuman trash cans?

Didn't work for us. We were trying to keep our neighbor's dog out of our yard.

My guess is probably. It sure sticks well to a plastic trash can. (Ours was cracked from the robot arm on the trash truck, and the city wanted $70 to replace it.)

It would work as well as any other trash can. It certainly won't lock in any smell.

Yes, but you might want to invest in stronger bungees. We have two Labs, and so far the EZ Pet Barrier has worked perfectly, even with the smaller bungees that came with it.

No, we have a 63 lb lab. He has caught it in his mouth several times. We have thrown it on the driveway, hard as possible. It only comes apart if you take it apart, or don't put it together right. Have fun! Don't make it so complicated.

I use it for a trash can in my bedroom. I have a dog who pulls all the trash out no matter how uninteresting it is. Most trash cans have a foot pedal opener. Since I'm in bed the top opening is much better. My dog hasn't opened it yet, but it doesn't usually have anything in it that smells good. He might try harder if I threw leftovers in it.
