Another failed potty training gimmick

To each his own I suppose. My kid is way too stubborn for this approach.

Just because your dogs waist is 11-18 inches and he is a small dog, doesn't mean these will work.  No measurements are given for base of tail to tip of "pee pee" so I should have known this isn't a highly tested pet product.  The price being pretty high and the claim that it was good for male and female dogs, made me think they'd work.  What a hassle!  They go on great.  I put it on nice and tight but dogs play and get smaller in the waste when they stretch or jump and guess what peeks it's little head out?  Disaster, that's who.  So I thought making the hole that fits around the tail might make the diaper extend past the pee pee and then it would work to ensnare it.  I figure I can't return it.  It's been longer than 30 days plus I cut the hole bigger.  And NO that wasn't a solution.  The ones that wrap around the dogs waste are what I ended up using and then I put this on on top of that for cosmetic purposes so that people feel confident that my dog has a diaper on when he is on their carpet.  He is potty  trained at home and in general, yet there is one home I take him to where he feels the need to claim it as his own.  Weirdest thing how he wants to be so bad at this one person's house barking, begging, stealing and taking advantage of how much they love him.  LUckily, they really love him and he is still allowed to come over even though this product failed to secure my promise that he'd be diapered...well, he WAS but his pee pee was out loose wreaking havoc.

UPDATE: I see product information now includes measurements to solve the problem I was having though now there is no way for the diaper to fit everywhere else.  If I had this info then, I could have tried a Medium instead but I tore up one of the diapers trying to make it work.  You can't return something once you have to tear it up.  Anyway, problems for other people going forward will be minimized now and at least the place where the pee comes from would be covered in the medium if the rest of the diaper is very baggy.

This training pad holder defeats the purpose of a pad holder. I am so frustrated that Amazon would allow a company to sell something so poor. DO NOT BUY:

1. You can only fasten the 4 corners down. This puffs up the pee pads in other areas allowing your dog or puppy to pull the pad off of the holder and making it easier than if the pee pad was sitting flush on the floor.

2. There is a crack down the middle so you can fold for storage. This allows urine that goes through the pee pad to go straight onto the floor. This is a huge design flaw and I have no idea who would allow this to sell let alone use it.

This item is so terrible I can't verbalize it more. Since its a prime item I would just buy it to see how poor it is and return it because words can't express.

Ingenious concept but it doesn't work.

I have two 6 month old kitty brothers that use scratch posts but they use their little claws to climb the furniture. I heard about these on another forum and decided to give them a try. I purchased  two packages of the 24 strips and one package of the extra large pads.

The first extra large pad that I attempted to apply crinkled up when I removed the backing and had to be thrown away, same with the second one. I decided to give up on the pads and try the strips. The strips were much easier to apply so I thought that I would be pleased. The problem came when I attempted to remove the backing. The tape is so thin that it easily tears. It isn't sticky enough to stay put on the chairs while removing the backing so it is a very pain staking process without good results. I swear I could hear the evil twins snickering from downstairs as I attempted to apply these darn things. As soon as one of the kitties put a paw to it they will tear off and then the chase will be on to attempt to remove the strip from a little paw. It is also important to be careful when putting your furniture back in place to not make contact with one of the strips or they will come right off. Ask me how I know.......

There are two things that the manufacturer might try in an attempt to remedy the application process. I would suggest a bit thicker gauge vinyl that won't tear so easily. Secondly, I would have tabs on the backing sheets to facilitate easier removal of the backing strips.

I used two full packages of 24 strips to do two chairs because the kitties climb on them instead of using them as scratching posts. I applied the strips to the areas that kitties use to climb. Out of the 48 strips applied almost all of them had issues with the removal of the backing and four of the strips actually tore in the backing removal process.

In summation this purchase was a total waste of money. The ingenious concept has a totally impractical application.

A waste of money. My dogs refused to keep the diapers on; and, it was too much of a headache trying to get the diapers on the dogs in the first place.

This product is over promoted and over priced. The name Sure Fit was hype as it didn't fit my love seat as advertised. Had to remove the elastic reinforcement strip because it simply wasn't long enough to cover the back of my piece of furniture (a standard love-seat). The portion that covers the sitting area was too short to tuck in and the claim that it would stay in place proved false in my experience. Within two days, my medium-sized 50-pound dog had it looking like a rumpled kleenex. I have to straighten it out and reposition it at least twice a day. Other reviews made me cautious about washing it so I washed in cold water only and hung out to drip dry on clothesline, then fluffed it up in dryer on delicate cycle only. That's a lot of extra effort for a dog pad. I have the lighter color and washing alone did not remove all the grime the dog tracks in. There doesn't seem to be a decent alternative out there to cover love seats so I guess I'll have to live with this one until some genius manufactures one. I might consider adding my own elastic reinforcements at a future time so I'm not always having to reposition this thing.

After stuggling with poopy smell for 9 months I finally gave in and bought a Diaper Genie. What a difference!

I like that Champ is easy to use and cheap (no special expensive refill bags) but it didn't do one thing that it was created to do: keep the house smell free!

It's in my basement now! A completely useless product!

I tried for months (on and off) to persuade my dog to use this toilet. Just to get her to stand on it was a chore that required treats. I followed all of the recommendations to train her to use it with no success. I think she didn't like the feel of the plastic tubes that allow the urine to flow through on her paws. Even when I started out with the pee pad on top, she appeared to be unsteady on the surface & couldn't relax enough to do her business. I soooooooooo wanted this to work. I liked the concept better than any other indoor dog potty available, but I just couldn't convince my pup to give it a try...

got this to help my daughter with going #2 in the potty, she started #1 in the potty a few days after her 2nd birthday, just decided "mommy I want use toilet". But #2 is still an issue and requires a diaper or she will hold it to the point of causing issues. This book so far hasn't helped with #2 getting to the potty. Still "need diaper poo poo coming" is the Q for what to do. Maybe after a few more 100 times of reading it will help but so far not so much again with #2, we had already gotten #1 to the potty before purchase of the book so no idea on that one.

The potty seat hole is too big for a toddler, theycan still fall right in, which terrifies my daughter who I'm trying to potty train. My other built in potty training seats had a smaller opening but didn't last bc the sticker that went over the magnet that holds it up always came off leaving the magnet which gets rusty exposed and messy. Here we are with this one a week later and the magnet doesn't even hold it up! I guess the idea is great but will just never work properly. This is our 3rd brand of seats with the built in trainer seat

At the time I purchased this item, the only other review available here critiqued the seller, not the actual item. So I had nothing to go on, and took a chance. I was excited to read a book about agility tricks as my dog loves both agility, obedience, and tricks. Any training keeps him happy, healthy, and tired. Plus, Clean Run generally has very good products.

However, I was very disappointed with this book. Nearly 35 of the 62 pages were spent talking about training approaches (what is luring, what is clicker training, etc, and how to do each). Personally I don't think that much space should be dedicated to in-depth "how to train"- that's better left in a separate book. Wasn't looking for a book on luring, I was looking for a book of tricks. When they finally did get to the tricks, they were ridiculous: Beg, Bow, Spin, Weave/Figure 8, Wave/High Five (basically shake), crawl, rollover, and back up. All "tricks" most people teach as basic obedience for their dogs or can be found in a basic trick class. The only one I can kind of see an agility usefulness with is the weave- this is also the only one my dog doesn't already know. Several others I think can actually be detrimental if you ask your dog to do it anywhere near an agility course- I've been trying to get my dog to STOP spinning when running the course! The author includes a shot blurb before every trick of how it is useful for agility training- but every description just says that asking the dog to do the trick helps improve attention, flexibility, and confidence. While that is true, it is not specific to any of those tricks. In general, asking your dog to preform any command- sit, lay down, shake, etc will help focus their attention and remind them to listen to you and ignore distractions- that's why a popular tip for dogs that bark or lunge on walks is to ask them to sit or do some command. For all this book suggested, I could ask my dog to sit and lay down a couple times before an agility run and achieve the same results as these "Tricks".

On the plus side, I like that the author gave tips for training each trick using several methods. And I didn't disagree with how to train any of those tricks- they were all positive methods, and seemed effective. My dog already knows almost all of them, and was taught using at least one of the methods she suggests. The author's knowledge and tips are sound- just put in the wrong book I guess. I'd also like to point out that this book was published in 1999. I believe agility was still somewhat new at this point, and I don't know if it was as commonplace for people to teach their dogs tricks rather than just the basic "sit. stay. Don't pee in the house". Maybe at the date of publication, these were revolutionary tricks, especially in the agility world.

Overall, I was disappointed. I was looking for a book of new tricks that would not only be fun for my dog, but useful in his agility training. I found a book that spent way too much time talking about things best left in another book, and then finally talking about tricks that most people that are interested in tricks have already taught their dogs and that have very little to do with agility.

This review is for IllumiBowl Toilet Night Light

WARNING - THIS REVIEW WAS QUICKLY DOWN VOTED WHICH IS COMMON WHEN SELLERS DO NOT LIKE PROMOTIONAL  REVIEWS SHOWING FLAWS IN A PRODUCT

I really wanted to like this product because I pee a lot at night and I am a clutz.  I will rarely turn the light on because it is a hassle and hurts my eyes. A motion activated light for the bathroom sounds like a great idea... however..

First thing I noticed was the retail packaging was just a cheap blister pack with a unit which looked like something from the Dollar Store....it really isn't made very durable. While the plastic feels semi sturdy, we are now in the position to have liquids - urine, hitting a light source.. which means added protection is needed and one will have to be cleaning it. I would have been far more impressed if this $20 item came with extra suction cups, and some sort of clip on plate which housed the lightbulb instead of allowing pee to get all over the bulb and main wire... even if the directions say it is made for daily indoor toilet use, urine has crystals and it is corrosive. A pee guard seems like a no brainer.

The entire light is plastic and thin rubber complete with cracks for liquid to seep into.. which really.. something on a toilet needs more than that. Then, 3.. count them.. 3 AAA batteries. Good batteries are not cheap. Why not the smaller and cheaper watch batteries and a pee guard? In comes the wire flap to attach over the edge of the toilet and the suction cups.. the unit will not stay on very well. I have given a photo to show you the pliability of the wire section. It is made to frame any type of toilet lid but the rubber suction cups are very thin and do not work well.

Do you have male splatter pee-ers in your house? I do.. which means urine crystals all over the light bulb and wire unit..... now what? I am cleaning a small electrical item and trying to get off boy pee. This thing should have a much better arm, better suction cups, better plastic housing, a pee guard.... not to mention a different energy source.. $20?? Umm. no.

A few close up photos of the unit have been uploaded for you

Wasted so much time trying to train my cats with this. SO messy, litter flies everywhere. Really disappointed that it didn't work after being so high maintenance. There should be more pieces included as my cats failed at orange phase. Way too big of a hole too quickly. They started going on the carpet and other places because they didn't like the hole. The concept is nice, but unfortunately it was too good to be true.

This does absolutely nothing! My dog continued to pee in the same spot over and over, no matter how long I soaked the area (and it was tile; you'd think that would be easiest to clean!). I eventually found "Sunny & Honey Pet Stain & Odor Miracle - Enzyme Cleaner for Dog and Cat Urine, Feces, Vomit, Drool" here on Amazon and INSTANTLY I was able to potty train my dog. No joke. Skip this product that doesn't work and try the other one. I bought three different enzyme cleaners before that one finally worked.

These did not have the lining to prevent any leakage. The underwear is made out of cotton and it does not hold liquids at all. These would be great for kids that are fully potty trained.

This is the most poorly made baby bath I have ever used. It is impossible to get folded and unfolded. When you do get that figured out then you get to deal with the stupid sling. My baby kept slipping down and her ears would get under water. She is now to big for the sling, but to small to sit up in the ring. I gave it a fair try, but I had to go out and buy another bath. It seems like a great concept, but it is really just a waste of [money].

Don't bother! These are absolutely useless with the size large diapers for dogs. It is way too small (the size and thickness of a women's panty liner) and it wasn't sticky enough to stay in place. The silver lining...returning them was easy.
