We recently purchased this, loving the idea, but does anyone other than me have dogs refuse to use it? I have a golden retriever and two daschund and

Actually, no. It might take them a bit of getting used to (and one of our dogs insists on immersing his entire face in the water) but they should catch on.

My husky will not go near it - it's the pump noise. I had the same issue with her on another filtered water bowl. However the two shepherds love it and it is still working great after all these months.

Yep, my dogs refuse, only the cats drink from it. I waisted a ton of money on this and filters and sponge kits just to have my dogs say heck no!

not an issue but some dogs can be a little intimidated by the sound and moving water; give them time and I suspect they'll come around; good luck

I have two German Shepards and they love it. My sister has two dogs and two cats and they all drink out of hers.

My dogs didn't like it, it's been a week. It's the strong plastic smell, after several washes the smell is still there, it must be really strong for the doggie nose. I'm not even sure if the plastic is safe health-wise. I could not find out if the plastic is human food grade, as it's supposed to be for all food and water containers.

It's a wonderful dog house, but try as miight, our dog has never taken to it. Treats, her favorite blanket-all to no avail. Some dogs have a different concept of comfort- ours goes under the deck instead!

I'm sorry to hear about that! Amazingly, my pup still has his and no issues. If it were me, I'd head out to the craft store or fabric store with the velcro and tag in hand and tell the clerk what I wanted to do and ask for their ideas. I've purchased velcro separately in the past for other projects, so I know it's available. Good luck!

My dog did this and now she just turns away. My other dog that does not have the gentle lead is still a nut case but he is small and I can handle him. Still, I think I will get him one.We tried one on a dog with a small nose and she got out of it in a minute.

Hi there, I like it a lot. I am a volunteer at the humane society and I use it on all the dogs I am walking and training with. Big, heavy dogs to even puppies. Have fun and thanks for asking, Chris

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

I have 3 dogs and they all loved it. Your dog could just be afraid of it. Try putting his favorite treat on it and leave it where he can get it by himself. It may take a while but the desire for the food should overcome his fear.

I have the same problem. I have Golden Retrievers. I just keep checking it and cleaning it about every time I sweep and that's often. For as expensive as this sweep was, it should have no problems at all!

My dogs that were trained on puddle pads refuse to use it. Maybe they don't like a platform feel. One carts the pads all over so this would be great if it worked. The new puppy has used it a little. (She also has the fake grass. )Great if you're just training a dog!

I have a similar problem with my jealous Australian Shephard. I have considered using the collar BUT, it would mean watching the dog all day until he began acting up. Are you willing to spend all your free time watching him? I'm trying to come up with a better idea.

Afraid not as we no longer use this product. Nothing as such wrong with it but found them to be rather too small for our dogs. regards.

Thank you for your reply. I have been trying to use two walkydogs with two bonded pit-bulls. Initially, we used the k9 cruiser and they were able to run together. We were approached by unleashed dogs and my dogs pulled the k9 cruiser so hard it bent my axel so i decided to try two walkydogs. Our current issue is my female makes several attempts to join her brother on the other side. I am working on this, but all in all the walkydog is a great device

I have 2 Golden Retrievers and one has always been a puller and a dragger. Never experienced a problem with her "backing out" to date. Mind you, it does`nt make her the (perfect) walking Dog but I know longer need to risk having my arm pulled out of my shoulder socket.

I can't imagine what to do! My pug has loved it from the beginning. We had to replace it several times because it's torn up. She takes all her toys in there and hides things she's not supposed to have in there. Maybe just give him time and he'll get used to it...?

Hi there Dhiman. I have a Great Pyrenees that I use this for and it's perfect. It's strong, and there's no way she can get over it. SO, unless your Golden Retriever is a trained sport jumper, I would highly recommend this gate! ;-)

If you dog like what you have been using and it works..I would stay with that...my dog doesn't like this one
