Considering this for our dog-friendly vacation rental. What would you suggest I tell our guests re: its use.. would they actually use it?

On a rainy day everyone understands immediately the purpose of the rug, but on good weather they are unsure whether is a doormat or the dog's rug. So I do this: when it rains I bring out the dog gone smart rugs, which really do work (you do need to put them on top of a anti-slip rug, they do not cling to the floor) and after the bad weather passes I wash and put away. In the meantime I keep regular rugs in place. Hope this helps!

This dog mat is awesome, catches dirt, mud and very wet feet and snow, both adults and critters. I just pick it up and shake it off and it's good to go. Mine is the first thing u step on when u come in from outside.

Just use it as you would a doormat to keep dirty feet from tracking in mud and sand, etc. The only thing about it that I don't like is that it is pretty lightweight so it gets kicked around fairly easily. But it does do the job. I have it in the garage where my dogs come through from the backyard and it does soak up the moisture from their feet.

To your question, because of how this has been made it works well in rocky terrain and even in sand, as we took our dogs with us to Tybee island Georgia and were able to negotiate the sand with no problems. We like it because of the large tires and it very well made. Hope this helps you. FYI, we have two dogs and both ride in the bike trailer. Makes it nice because we know they are safe until we let them out. They like it, we yell road-trip and both sit at its door waiting to be put inside, The dogs like it because they have a great view all around and feel part of the action where ever my wife and I take them.

I wouldn't suggest using the interupt or negative feedback with this for casual whining. It may work, but really whining is about being able to set up limits for your pet. How do they whine and when?

I only use it indoors. Depending on the dog don't think it would be goodfor outdoor use.

I would not as it is like unfinished wood. It is very light weight...also if dogs jump and push ,it will move. Only good for already trained dogs

It's a large doghouse. It's made for outdoors but you could definitely use it indoors.

You should check to make sure it's not too big, but I recall it being of standard size when researching the options out there.Con: It doesn't have a way of protecting the sides of the doors, which I found to be an commom deficiency in this product offering category. Overall, the dogs seemed to really like it. As they are under 20lbs & we were moving 1500 miles east, we raised them up underneath w pillows and other luggage. Letting them see always seems to keep them calmer.

I don't have a dog but after reading other comments I suppose it would work. It's strong enough to get a human's attention & works great with my cats. I'd say go for it.

I did put my damp Havanese on the table, but I was using towels after his shower. However, I am very impressed with this table; it's more solid and stable than I expected. And heavier. I had planned to keep it folded up when not in use, but it's easier just to keep it ready for use. I love that it's small, though plenty big enough for my dog, and the height is perfect for me. Like most things, it probably isn't a good idea to put it under water, but I don't think there's a problem with it getting pretty wet. I'd just suggest wiping it afterwards to be safe. I can't imagine actually washing a dog on it though; it's pretty small for that. I did put my damp Havanese on the table, but I was using towels after his shower.

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They dont love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

I think it would be great for puppies and small dogs to be in while you are away. I bought it for a kitten and now after some research I'm expecting the kitten to be able to climb out so I'm pondering a way to make a roof on it.

It all depends on who you get at the ticketing counter. My argument was showing how flexible the carrier was, because it will NOT fit under your seat unless you squeeze it down. This demonstration plus the fact the my dog was well behaved and quiet during the 30 min this argument/convincing session lasted. At boarding time I simply closed all windows so no one even knew I had a dog until I sat down and opened it up again.

We have one set up outdoors to contain our puppies on the deck. I doubt it will last very long, but it's such a great product that it's worth repurchasing if and when needed.

Potentially, but I'd definitely a) use it successfully before trying it on the beach, as in, repeatedly, to a good result, and b) use it to prevent the unwanted behavior before he actually gets going in it. It abruptly stops my dog from whatever he's doing and makes him come over to investigate the noise, every time. We've been using it for 2 weeks now, and he knows now that noise means bad behavior. Very effective.

This is a sturdy pet gate, and I think it will work fine for you. It's made of wood and expandable, and if you attach it securely I think you'll be happy with it. We use ours inside and haven't had any issues with it after about six months of daily use. Hope that helps!

I use the pad and tray on a balcony as well. My dogs all use it. It is great! I clean it a couple times a week of the urine and I pick up the poop right away. Hope this helps!

The unit is reasonably portable and can be removed and re-installed with relative ease. The tub surface and shape have to be such that the clamping mechanism functions properly. You say this would be a temporary solution for a vacation rental. Without knowing more of the circumstances, I do not feel comfortable lending a firm opinion either way. If YOU were taking it with you on vacation, I think you would find it handy. If you want to leave it for a random guest, I would have a little more reservation, because you need to be familiar with the device in order to use it properly.
