Will this work for a 5yr. old dog? We just moved & it doesn't matter how long she is outside when she comes in then she goes on the carpet.

It takes time to train your dog to use it. Ours (IG - 15 lbs) took almost a year to be totally accident free from a bigger box. We have her when she was 5 months old, and trainned her to use the box ever since. This box is a replacement of what we originally had. She used it right away without any issue. This box is a few inches smaller than what we had before. It works if you are willing to train your dog, and it does not happen over night. However, because of the box size, I would not recommend it to any dog over 15 lbs. They seem to have a bigger version, but I have not seen it in person.

It's hard to say. If you place it in her favorite spot to potty, that might work.

Don't upset with your dog when your dog pop on the carpet. Simply take pop to in the box and show your dog with prize like she pop there. if you try that few times maybe your dog will go potty there.

It isn't as much the age, and the teachability. Sounds like she's upset and confused with the new surroundings. I would say, yes, get it. It might be a relief for both of you. The box shown is good for a small dog, they have a larger square shaped box with high sides that I use for my 2 boys (Pom). One lifts his leg, but that wouldn't be a problem with a female. Also, I don't use the grass, I use puppy pads. Not that you shouldn't use the grass - I just suggest it as another alternative. The boxes are well built, light weight, and very easy to clean. Hope this helps.

I would personally not use this for your dogs, nor on a wood floor. We have a tile floor and my puppy, who was three months at the time, would drag it around the kitchen. Each panel bends at the "seam", it does not lock into any particular shape. This would be better for outdoors where you could hammer it into the ground to keep it from moving.

Any medium to large size dog can push it on tile. on carpet, that could be a different matter. Mine is set up at the front entrance and has 6 sections, so it's secure. If you're doing a hallway, I'd use a baby gate.

It could, however it is large. Also, the one I got came with a sandpaper type surface, not the carpeting - I would rather have the carpet for my dog to get better traction. You might be able to find something not quite so large and heavy - my dog is 60-65 lbs.

I do not have a dog, but the floor is not hard...just canvas-type material. If the dog sits in the seat, it might work, but if he jumps around the floor probably won't hold up. Hope this helps.

We have for our 13 yr old lab whose has arthritis in his hind quarters. Our steps are quite wide so we keep this off to the side and it works fine for him. I found I have to put 2 small rubber back rugs on it because the surface is just too slick and he slips. The rugs work fine though.

It's worked very well for our dogs ranging in age 5-12 years and 20-90lbs. Our oldest has actually started to walk on her own all the time now!

My dogs are /5 and 30 lbs and they do ok with it. I wish the carpet on it was a little rougher for them to get a better grip but they do ok. I have thought about putting the rubber shelf liner on top of it for a better grip but i think a 16 lb dog would have an easier time of it. Overall i like it.

my dogs are the exact same sizes and do just fine! I find that the stairs work better on carpet or a rug than on tile or hardwood. hard surfaces do cause a little slipping.

No I DON'T Think it would work on the carpet, You Have to Hold button in when brushing the dog/cat and then release for hair to go into vacuum. I have Never Tried it On anything Other than my Dogs.. so not sure. .. I WILL TELL YOU It is AMAZING on THEM... Especially during winter months when I can't take them outside to brush them!

Motion sensors are not too sensitive, specially in the case of small pets. Try factory setting first, it should work fine.

Hello, Sandra! My baby is 1 year old and walks quite well- sometimes he pushes it and it slides on the floor (without carpet) but doesnt tip over. If baby doesnt have good coordination and you dont have a carpet- the baby might hit the floor(

Well each time I use it for my dogs I secure it w/ my foot. You may need to train you dog to walk on it laying flat. But the carpet is good for my older dog to have sure footing. So Yes I think this will work fine.

I bought one for my 60 lb. dog and she has no problem getting up and down. It has carpet on it so that they can keep their grip. I love mine!

Made of hard plastic. Can make noise on hard floor...they really roll it around. On carpet of course it's not a problem. We have a 100 lb. Great Pyrenees "puppy".....keeps him busy for awhile and it is real easy to load and adjust the difficulty devices. Good luck!

Yes, it would work for her now, and for a couple more months. Our dogs are 65 and 70lbs, and both of them fit in it (one at a time) with room to spare. I'd estimate the max weight to be 90-100lbs. At that point, you'll probably want to look into another size.

Depending on how big your dog is it should work ok. I used it for my Cane Corso Puppies on a tile floor. It worked until they got around 35lbs and climbed over it. It comes with 3 clips which I used to attach to a hook on the wall to keep it from moving.
