Amazon.com Hands-On Review

With the FurReal GoGo My Walking Pup, your child can walk the dog as much as she wants, and GoGo definitely wants to go for a walk. The moment this remote-controlled pup notices your child in the room, she barks to let you know she's ready for an adventure. So leash her up, take her outside on the sidewalk or driveway, and have fun. Designed for children 4 years and older, GoGo is as realistic a pet as it gets, complete with all the barks, pants, and whines that your child will thrill to.

GoGo My Walking Pup Ages: 4 years and up Requires: 4 C batteries (included) What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Mobile dog toy with realistic actions and reactions The Challenging: White fur gets dirty fast In a Nutshell: A great starter pet for a child who wants a dog to walk and play with

This fluffy dog features life-like movements, actions, and appearance. View larger.

Responds to sound and motion--just like a real pet! View larger.

Looks, Barks, and Pants Like the Real Thing
Modeled after a Bichon Frise dog, GoGo is soft to the touch and proportioned close to the real thing. Her ears have a crinkle-style texture and closely resemble a Bichon's after a trip to the groomer. In other words, GoGo is a cutie.

Pet GoGo on the head and she will bark with enthusiasm. Pet her on the side, and she'll turn to meet you. GoGo's tail wags and she gives off a high-pitched bark. Her head tilts, raises and lowers, and her body wiggles.

Her actions are startlingly life-like, so much so that while our testers were taking a break from playing with her, GoGo stood before the lunch counter, barking and panting as if she wanted a treat like any real dog would. She even sheds, so beware!

Remote-Controlled Dog Wants to Go, Go, Go!
GoGo is aptly named. With the big-buttoned remote control that doubles as a leash and fits comfortably in a young child's hand, you can turn on the pup and she's raring to go. Set her to "try" mode, and GoGo will respond to sound or motion--she'll also bark, but she won't move. Set GoGo to "on" mode, and she practically tugs at her leash to go for a walk.

The leash controls GoGo's movements. Press the forward arrow, and she walks at a kid's pace; press the left and right arrow buttons, and she negotiates corners. Once GoGo starts moving, she doesn't want to come back. Don't worry, though--her motor is not too strong, so kids can easily rein her in when it's time to go home.

Even while in the "on" mode, GoGo remains both sound and motion activated, so any activity on your walk will make her respond like a real pet. Be careful--if you cough or sneeze in GoGo's presence, she could take off on her own!

Built to Walk on Smooth, Dry Surfaces
GoGo is designed with four rubber wheels--one beneath each paw--that are hidden by fur. Each of the front wheels rotates on a cam lobe, and GoGo's knees are jointed, so her front legs appear to bend as if she's extending her forepaws to walk.

GoGo responded well, walking without any stumbles or glitches, when our testers walked her on hard floors and commercial carpets. The box's photos show GoGo parading down an outdoor sidewalk. As long as the terrain is smooth and dry, we think she'll be fine. But make sure you gently clean GoGo off with a slightly damp cloth or brush to keep her mechanisms in working order.

This Pup Loves to Be Pampered
Like any good-natured dog, GoGo wants to be loved. She'll whine if she's being lifted awkwardly or pulled harshly by her leash, and she may even stop moving. In fact, in our repeated tests, it sounded as if GoGo let out a brief growl whenever we weren't as gentle as we should have been.

Also, if you want peace and quiet around the house, make sure you turn GoGo off when it's time for her to nap. Otherwise, like a real puppy, she pants and barks at surprising times, and that can wear down her batteries.

3.0 out of 5 stars Limited interactivity, but fun for small girls., July 22, 2010

What a great idea for a kid who wants a dog, but you don't want or can't have one. It walks kinda slow, so as the kid gets older he won't enjoy it as much. the interactivity is a bit unpredictable (like a dog), but you pet the dog's hand and it coos a bit or barks happily. Very fun.

My beef with this product is that it would be a bargain at 30 dollars and probably fairly priced at 40, but [...] is an awful lot for something that does as little as this product. It's way over-priced and that's the reason I give it only 3 stars.

It does come with batteries installed and it's turned on, so it barks when you move the box. That gave me a serious giggle as it sat in the back of my car, barking when I made a turn.

I think a 4 or 5 year girl will like it. I think a boy won't as much, and I think 7 or 8 is probably too old.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but not a lot of fun, August 26, 2010

(What's this?)

GoGo the walking pup is cute and is quite a bit of fun. It responds to being pet in a way that makes you want to pet it more. We have seen some people react to it as if it was a real dog, trying to call him and rubbing him on his neck. If you ignore GoGo it will whine for attention but then go to sleep after a little while. If you move near one of its sensors it will wake up and bark for attention. My son, who is autistic, enjoys playing with him and petting him and even trying to feed him. He has been a little rough with GoGo and GoGo has endured the abuse without any problems. I think the long term enjoyment of GoGo is probably limited because GoGo really can only do so much. But don't be surprised if you find yourself petting GoGo while he is sitting on your lap and you're watching TV.

This review is from: FurReal GoGo My Walkin' Pup (Toy)

My daughter was dying for this for her 4th birthday. It was the only thing she wanted. She even had a dream she had gotten it a few nights before her party and was so sad when she got up in the morning to get him and he was not there. Anyway, she got it at her birthday party and she was so happy. She walked around with it and took him everywhere. She "walked" him a little but mostly carried him around because he is quite slow moving. She was so sweet and gentle with him like it was a real puppy. That night we shut him off and put him away. In the morning as soon as she woke up she went over to play with him and he wasn't working, he would make noises, but not walk. I figured the batteries were going dead so I changed them, and then it would do nothing. So I put the old batteries back in and nothing. I worked on him a little over the next few days changing batteries, making sure the cord was all the way in and reading the manual and internet for anything to help me fix her new best friend. However he would not work properly. At one point he started making noises again and would not stop barking like he was having a meltdown. My daughter was so sad, when we brought him back to the store she did not even want to get another one and try it again. Everytime she sees the commercial on TV she has a sad little pout and says "I wish he worked." I had seen other reviews before I bought it about the same thing happening to others, but she wanted it so badly. Just thought I should warn others.
