Had 4 pet paws and one chime for about 2 years, then all the paws just quit working...I now have a dog that has gone back to scratching the doors! I'll try it one more time, but when they quit working it is extremely irritating, and frustrates the dog, also.

In December 2002, I purchased the pet chime and paw & two additional paws. I was extremely satisfied with them until the past couple of weeks. In the past couple of weeks 2 paws have stopped working for unknown reasons and repeated emails and phone calls have gone unanswered by Lentek. They're great, IF THEY WORK!

We love our pet chime. It took a little time to train our dog on it but now it's the only thing he uses to tell us he wants to go out. It's also a great conversation piece when company is over. We've had ours for over 1 year and changed the batteries in the receiver once and haven't had any problems. We're getting an extra paw!

I hung 2 big jingle bells on a sturdy ribbon by the door & it accomplishes the same thing with no batteries to worry about! Consistantly ring the bell before opening the door and he'll learn in 2 or 3 days!

This is the extra chime that you can purchase if you already have the receiver. I am purchasing another one because it's working so well. I am a professional dog trainer, and all I can say is that the product is great, but that owners who do not know how to teach something to their dogs probably should call a dog trainer for help with this if you are unsure how to proceed.

As a professional dog trainer, I still live with my family members who are decidedly not dog trainers. Our toy poodle was essentially house-trained when I was home, but because my teenagers and husband were oblivious to her subtle signals that she needed to go out, she ended up peeing in front of the door, because nobody was letting her out. So, I got the Lentek Door Chime, and taught my dog to use it, and now no more accidents because she is signaling in a way that everybody can hear. We also put the pad outside so she can signal to come back in. Everybody is happy. Now I'm getting another pad for upstairs, because we still have oblivious teens and hubby....

So, great product, but be sure that you have *both* parts of the product, and give a good trainer a call to help you get started.

Easy to use. Our dog learned how to use it reliably in a couple of days. No directions came with it, we called our trainer and asked how to do it.

I just love these pet paws and chime. My Havanese has been using them since we got him. He lets us know when he wants out and I have one at each door outside so he also lets us know when he wants in. When he wants to come in he just stands on it until you let him in. I get the chuckles every time he does it and it's been almost 2 years. Just love the product!!!!!

I bought the pet paw and receiver around a year ago, and I only have negative things to say about the pet paw, since the receiver seems to be working fine. After a few months of use, the button became loose and would usually get stuck in the depressed position, causing the receiver to ring continuously. We had our button outside the door on a screen porch, and I believe it was dirt getting in the crack around the button that caused it to stick. Before it died completely, a new 9V battery would last only a couple weeks before needing replacement, I assume because it was in a constant transmitting state.

Make the button a little more durable for large dirty paws (my dog tends to hit the button repeatedly as he sees me and eagerly awaits the door opening) and I would buy this product again in a heartbeat.

It takes a little patience to get the dog to use it, at first she thought is was a treat machine, but eventually she realized it meant go outside. Works very well.

Brand new product, brand new batteries and the bell would only ring intermittently even with the paw and receiver right next to each other. Don't waste your time on this poorly developed product. I'm heading to the hardware store to purchase a remote doorbell that I'll rig up instead. Furious that I wasted my time, and trips to the store to buy batteries and a TINY little screwdriver to open the battery case. Absolutely ridiculous.
