I'm looking for a garbage can that prevents a sneaky German Shepherd from getting into it. Thoughts on keeping a dog out?

My suggestion is to try another garbage can. Held by lite weight magnets, the compaction device will fall into the garbage can if you so much as lightly bump into it. Your German Shepherd will find it extremely easy to gain access to the interior of the can.

The Trash crusher would be ideal, as long as the dog doesn't find out that the lid opens when he presses the pedal. &lt;S&gt;

This lid has a tight seal so unless your dog knows to step on the foot pedal to open the lid, I think this would be a good choice!

If you mean one that prevents your dogs from going out if you don't want them to, then yes it does.

My dog is 30 pounds and can scoot the pen along the un-carpeted part of the floor so we had to put furniture on all sides to keep it in place. I would think a German shepherd if it jumped up on the side could knock the pen over entirely and get out. I'd go with something bigger and sturdier.

Yes. There is a slider that can be inserted which can be used to keep the dog in and out, and it will also stop people from crawling in when you are away.

This is also very good to walk dogs and pick up after them. The only drawback is that since the poop is going to be "fresh" you will have to be "crafty" to get it all. My dog poops hard, so it's no issue there. I use a large sandwich bag to put it in. I then put the poop in a garbage bin with a lid, in a tall kitchen bag in it and twist tie it so that I can remove it when sanitation comes and not have it smell up the garage (where I keep the bin) ~ so far, no issues. The Poop Patrol saves me from having to bend down all the way and I have a bad back, so it helps.

It seals up nicely so I do not think they would be able to escape. My dogs are 23 and 15 pounds they fit fine, they do not like it though, so mine sits and collects dust. I am sorry, I cannot remember if the box said what it was as I got mine a bit ago. To be safe you could order it as a gift and have it wrapped.

Yes. I actually bought it to lock my dog in my kitchen. As it is plastic, it may be used outdoor

I was challenged by the lock, and I am ever so glad. Once I got the hang of it, I could open it, but my dogs couldn't. During the day, I leave it unlocked all the time and only lock it at night if I have reason to think my dogs are upset and may get into the garbage. But if you have a chronic problem with a dog that gets into the trash, you will soon learn how to open the lid and lock the lid. I have arthritis, and I've had several finger surgeries. If I can do it, anyone can, and it saves me from that horrible moment when I find my house strewn with kitchen garbage.

Keep the materials in the little bag, as the rodents will chew through it. We lifted our garbage can "shed" up and threw a few underneath, as we knew that dogs/pets would be unable to get to the bags. A Week later the bags were all torn with the pellets mostly gone..

Don't use to contain diapers. Just bathroom tissue and q-tips, works very well for what we use them for, keep german shepherd out of the trash!

Yes, it is very possible. I bought this can and my dog has managed to tip it over and get into it still. I came home once and the lock was still in place but the lid was open and yep...trash everywhere.

My dachshund sticks her head out but I have covered her head with a scarf or light jacket/sweater. When I take her to places where dogs are really not allowed I use a carrier that completely closes and has a mesh siding.

I guess that depends on your dog, but generally speaking I'd say no. It's a pretty substantial trashcan and the lid does a nice job of keeping tempting odors (tempting to dogs, that is) inside. If you have a Bull Mastiff or Great Dane, all bets are off, but for your average pooch, the can is probably a safe bet.

I would say yes! We have a 100 lb German Shepherd with separation anxiety, who would break out of everything we put him in, and he's never been able to get out of this! We've had this for 10 months, and is the best investment in our dog that we've ever made! ☺

I would mount this on a slightly elevated piece of plywood so the plywood and Gazebo are tied together. It would be easy to do. I have a 65 pound German Shepherd and he managed somehow to lift the gazebo up to get out. If mounted on plywood... I don't think there would be escape for my very strong German Shepherd.

don't know how smart your critters are.... they would have to push down on the red latch. my husband thinks a racoon could figure it out. I doubt it. it is small enough that we keep it on our kitchen countertop. I totally love it. the latch means you can have the garbage in your hands and still open it without making a mess. I would not want to carry the garbage across the floor to the outside. Also, it is not really big enough to keep outside in my opinion. I use a lot of veggies for two people, and we take it to the garbage once or twice a week. It has a very small footprint on the countertop. If you want to keep it outside, get a bigger one or move your garbage can closer.

Throw rug with skid pad underneath bigger than the cage would work. Maybe put something waterproof under that so it doesn't seep into the rug (if the dog has accidents) such as a plastic floor protector or some clear garbage bags under the mat to protect the carpet underneath.
