I have a large dog that has a taste for trash. Will this keep him out?

If he is smart, it will not. If his paw or face goes over the light that opens it....it is open, and you are picking up garbage.

Hello Kris, there is the sensor eye area in the front so if the sensor detects an object about 4 inches from it, the lid will open. Thus, if you dog is tall enough to get inside then your dog will get into the garbage. There is a power switch on the back of the lid cover that you can turn off so your dog doesn't activate the sensor.

Since it opens by motion detection, it will probably open right up for him!! Lol

I returned this and have nothing positive to say for meeting my needs, which were different from yours. I also have large Labs (now nine months old), and got two of the Giant versions. The crates were very flimsy and I though they wouldn't keep the dogs in for 30 seconds, if that. The ones I was shipped would not be suitable for outside use. If you dog is small, it might work for inside. Good luck.

No. If the dog is healthy, the feces will be firm enough to pick up with a tissue and discard in toilet. If loose, all you need do is wipe the top grate then lift the grate and wipe under.

I don't have a dog this large, but I think it would work for you, because the gate comes with four cups that you screw into your door jam that helps to hold it in place. It's pretty sturdy with those on.

I dont know if it will help with that. It helps the dog digest its food. I think there is a psecific product made to stop dogs from eationg their own poop, but I dont know the name of it.

Yes. I would say it's about the perfect size for that type of dog! Should be narrow enough to keep his ears out too.

It will if you point it in their direction. It's not suppose to be harmful to the animal, but they don't like the sound.

Katharine, I have a Boxer/Lab (80+ lbs) & I fill his water 2 x's a day & his food only once. They're plenty big. HOWEVER, I wud recommend putting a coat of laquer on top because the water is destroying it

For a larger dog you might want two with the plastic connector as it would give the dog more room to sniff and circle. I also cut a piece of vinyl flooring (from Home Depot) larger than the plastic trays for those times they only get their front feet on the pad because I have stone tiles in the potty area.

I would think so! It cleans up after my big dogs that drag in all kinds of stuff :)

I suspect that it would, but I can't be certain. We used it to keep our very large dogs from going under a fence that was a bit too elevated around our corner lot property borders. We needed to close off about 4-5 inches and discourage dogs from being tempted to dig. It worked beautifully. However, since we weren't using this border alone, I couldn't say. How tall is your dog? If you anchor these all the way down, the dog might be able to jump over. If you leave it more elevated, the dog might be able to push it over.

well the can is pretty heavy and has a insert in middle of lid that comes loose to crush down trash . guess it would depend on how big the dog is . big dog could tip it over I think Med and small dogs no . insert is held in place magnetly. but lis does not lock

It would work as well as any other trash can. It certainly won't lock in any smell.

Yes, more than likely since it has no locking mechanism. We have two smaller dogs that used to knock over the old plastic trash can. They haven't been able to knock this one over yet, but I have no doubt a larger and more determined dog would be able to.

We haven't had any problems with our Shih Tzus..15 & 20 lbs. They don't try to go through trash cans normally. When placed against against a wall or cabinet, the can is very stable. A dog would have to pull the can over toward him

I think it should. The grooves are too small for any snout and require the dog to use it's tongue to "fish" out the kibble.

I don't think that would work as the lip is actually two "flaps" that open outward and that's at least a yard stick I 'd say. BUT its a great garbage can! I have gotten lots of compliments on it and it truly is dog proof!
