Will my puppy, eventually, be able to sleep without this? I would prefer him not to become too dependent on it for sleep.

It probably depends on the puppy but my puppy doesn't always 'ask' for it. She did when she was younger but now that she is near 4 months she doesn't need it like she did when she was 6 weeks old. She was separated from her mom and siblings too soon so it made it easier for her to not be lonely.

Yes! My puppy isn't too attach. We took it from him to wash it and he was fine. It's cold where we are that's why we use it. If we don't use the toy, we use a little blanket.

I use this in my bedroom and both my dogs sleep in the same room. It doesn't seem to bother them. I have it in one corner of the room and they sleep in the opposite corner.

Oh, yeah!! I tried a couple other ones before this that were way too weak and uneffective. I have a Rotty puppy, he's now 90 pounds and only getting bigger. It still works when I need it because he's young and testing me every day, but he's a quick learner especially with this and because of this he's a really good dog!! I hope that helps!! I actually got this one first of this brand, got sick of changing batteries and went to the rechargeable, a step up with yellow on it, love it. Just put it on the charger every night and you're good to go all day if you need it!! Good luck!!

No. It seems to work pretty well. On Low it's relatively quiet. I don't have a hard time getting to sleep when it's on. I like it for my dog allergies.

I have a min schnauzer.. 14 lbs. He was comfortable, but he is a puppy and slept fully stretched out. It might be tight for your dog.

Depends on how long your dog wears it. If it's only a couple hours a day and you remember to turn it off after using it, around 3 months or more.

Give him/her time. My 12 yr old Shepard is the same way. If I put her normal pillow bed on top and she loves it. If I take it off she sleeps on the ground. I guess because it's springy it's intimidating and she likes to sleep on some kind of cloth like a blanket or towel. Throw one of those up there along with a dog treat and see what happens.

You might want to start out by spraying on an attractant. There is a product called "Go Here" sold at pet stores. I would place him on the Pet Zoom after meals and right after he wakes from napping. If you catch him in the act of going in another spot immediately grab him and place him on the Pet Zoom. If he does eliminate on the Pet Zoom praise him effusively and give him a treat. Good luck!

The collar will go into a sleep mode after a few minutes (not sure how many) but all you need to do is touch the mode button & it is ready to go again. Great collar & easy on the dogs. You don't have to get aggressive with it.

My dog sleeps on it all the time. I put some sheets on top to make it soft for him. I had to show him that it was a bed the first time I got it, but after that he sleeps on it all the time. He loves it. Try putting something soft down on it for your dog to lay.

No,it makes no noise and I don't sleep on it, my dog does so I'm sorry I can'tSpeak of the hot issue.

If you look on the left side, the tray will slide out. The bottom is made like the rest of the cage. It will need plenty of padding, so your puppy can sleep comfortably. My dog loves her house and will too. She gets in her.house at.9:00 pm. Sharp. She does on her own.

I'm with you all...just turned 8 months, sleeps like a lamb in the RnP, but is so active that she can't sleep in her crib. I'm all for letting her cry herself to sleep at this age, but we live in an apartment and I'm trying to be aware of our upstairs neighbors. Ugghhh...this is frustrating. :(

I never have left it on for days at a time, but I have left it on for a couple of days when my little dog is at the caregiver's when we've been gone for a weekend. I use mine in my chihuahua's crate for at night. I start warming it up early evening and usually turn it off mid morning the next day. I would think it would be fine to leave it on most of the time if you are using it for a pet who lays on it most of the time, day and night.

Are you kidding? My Chihuahua can't live without it. She was getting a little itchy lately and I unplugged it to see if the bed was the cause. She sat in it and shivered to get her point across. I do take it away in the summer. When she shows signs of cold (usually in September), I plug it back in.

Yes I do... the good thing I found is that you it turns off automatically when the dog is not moving at all.I tried not to fit it thight to the dog, but not to loose as well.

Yes it should help. You can inflate it as much as you want. The fuller it is, the harder to drop his/her head down lower. I left it in my little puppy for almost 10 days straight after surgery- slept in it as well, very soft- comfortable than most. It is worth a try.
