Will it keep a really smart Labrador Retriever out of the trash? Our dog had managed to get into every trash can we've tried.

I think the only way he could get in is if he were to happen to step on the pedal at the base of the can that opens it.

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

I really wanted this to work because I have a 60lb bulldog/bassett mix who pulls terribly. First, it took us over 20 minutes to figure out how to get it on as the directions are only pics. Second, when we finally did have it on securely, the dog pretty much slipped right out of it the moment we headed out. We went through this process on three separate occasions, by two different people thinking we missed a step, and perhaps we did, but all three experiences led us to never use it again. I could see that it would work if easier to get it properly placed and fitted on your dog. Maybe it's owners misuse.......I don't know, but it wasn't easy for us that's for sure.

If you are referring to the clogged debris getting trapped up inside the canister, it is often difficult to empty. I usually have to knock the opened canister against my garbage can numerous times hoping it will eventually come free.

No, we have a 63 lb lab. He has caught it in his mouth several times. We have thrown it on the driveway, hard as possible. It only comes apart if you take it apart, or don't put it together right. Have fun! Don't make it so complicated.

Don't do it. IF it manages to suck it up (A very big if!), you'll have finely chopped, fragrant fecal matter all over the impeller and coating the inside of the bag. You'll never get it or the smell out. Good news is, this product can't pick anything with any density up, so you don't have to worry about accidentally collecting any animal droppings. You'll be frustrated enough just trying to convince it to collect leaves!

The Trash crusher would be ideal, as long as the dog doesn't find out that the lid opens when he presses the pedal. <S>

Yes, we have LOTS of dog hair to pick up and it sort of clogs the canister and keep is from dumping. I have to use my hand to drag it out. Not a big deal, but a deal....

I have a pitbull/lab in mine and she has not escaped, where she has in other crates. We did use a chain and hook on the doors to be on the safe side, but so far (1 year) she has not escaped. Worked great for us.

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.

Didn't work for us. We were trying to keep our neighbor's dog out of our yard.

Our 100# lab responds well. A friend's bulldog doesn't respond and the collar is apparently not large enough, but it's been a real lifesaver for us!!!

Depends upon what shape your trash can is. If it's big and square at the top, probably not. If it's cylindrical and tall, probably will.

My guess is probably. It sure sticks well to a plastic trash can. (Ours was cracked from the robot arm on the trash truck, and the city wanted $70 to replace it.)

Unfortunately, it would suck it up.Our dog had diarrhea while we were gone and it went right thru it. :(That clogged it up, and it thankfully returned to its base. (rather than dragging it thru the whole house)It was a horrible mess to clean up. It was all in the brushes...everywhere!

Your dog will NOT be able to get out. My dog destroyed several other crates and could not be contained until I got this one. If you have an escape artist, this crate is well worth the price.

My dog is a Maltese, so she was not able to move it around. I also connected it to her crate, but I had to use the divider that came with her crate to close the opening on the top because her crate was not that tall. It works great for me, just make sure you connect the crate with no openings. I left an opening one day and she got out and had the entire house to herself.
