This is the worst $25 bucks I have ever spent. The dog is cute when you take him out of the package, but add batteries and it turns into a freak show. My daughter has wanted this toy for months, so I finally went and got it. I put the batteries in and it makes this horrible motor noise as it is moving. Then I read the instructions about the water use and my little girl takes it into the bath. It would not turn off, no matter how much time you hold the button on the collar down. I then dried the toy and waited 24 hours before giving back to my daughter to play with on the floor and as soon as she turned it on it would not go back off. So out came the batteries. What a terrible toy, I am returning it as soon as possible. So word to the consumer who uses review before buying anything as I do, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY....

This toy worked perfectly the first time. My six-year-old loved it! Once the water was deep enough to allow the puppy to balance out and "swim" it worked fine. And the sound of the motor was greatly reduced in the water. Our bath tub was filled to the brim, so it may not work in shallow tubs. The second time we used it the thing completely fell apart. It would not turn off. We pressed the button on the collar, dried it completely with a towel, even took out the batteries overnight to let everything dry. Still, when I put the batteries in the toy starts trying to "walk" and won't turn off! My daughter hasn't used it since...

My 4 year old loves this toy and takes it everywhere. It works fine. The reason it does not shut off when wet is because it has sensors which turn it on when submersed(It is mentioned in the instructions). Dry it off completely (especially around the sensors in the front) and it will turn off. The on/ off button is a bit touchy but not as bad as everyone says.
The toy has survived my son taking it everywhere and playing with it non stop. It's durable. Keeps my son entertained it's worth it.
