Amazon.com Review

The cute little i-Dog Dance loves to boogie--and he makes a great companion for music fans ages 8 and up who want to add a little fun to their day. The i-Dog Dance creates a multi-colored light show for music that you "feed" it and dances along with a variety of groovin' moves. He's also trained to perform several different commands, including "dance, "tap paw," and more. Like any dog, he gets a little miffed when you don't pay attention to him and will remind you to feed him more music by making barking noises and flashing his lights.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Clever design makes i-Dog Dance cute and easy to use The Bad: Touch-sensitive volume control doesn't work well In a Nutshell: A compact and fun companion for any music lover At a Glance Ages: 8 and older Requires: 3 AAA batteries

It's easy to connect i-Dog to your favorite music player. (White i-Dog shown here.) View larger.

No Assembly Required for i-Dog to Get His Groove On
The i-Dog Dance requires no assembly and is ready to use right out of the box. Simply press the button on i-Dog's nose and he'll tell you what "mood" he's in through a series of noises and light displays.

The clever, compact design features a jack on his hind leg where you can plug in a personal music player using the included connector cord. As the music plays through i-Dog's speaker, he'll do a custom light show, and occasionally dance along. The little speakers on i-Dog get plenty loud, but you can quickly mute them by touching i-Dog's multi-functional tail (which also puts him into "quiet" mode if he's getting on your nerves.)

The inconspicuous microphone on his shoulder also allows him to perform along with music that's played through nearby speakers. Besides dancing and flashing his lights while listening to music, the dog also responds to a variety of commands. These commands are all described in the helpful instruction booklet.

Plugged or Unplugged, i-Dog is a Dancin' Fool
The design of the i-Dog Dance makes it a standout. It's both sleek and contemporary while still remaining cute and charming. The multi-colored light shows are fun, as are the dog's movements--especially when he moves his ears up and down and dances on his back legs (which you can make him do by running your finger across his face). His versatility is also a nice feature --when you don't feel like plugging a personal music player in to i-Dog, simply put him next to your stereo and watch him perform!

Fun Personality, User-Friendly Design
We especially liked how i-Dog has a personality and reminds you of his presence when you haven't paid attention to him in a while. (It's easy enough to turn him off if he's annoying you). The device also functions as a compact easy-to-use speaker system for your personal music player--handy for a desk or a kitchen table.

Theoretically you can control the volume of i-Dog's speakers by running your finger up and down his face, but that feature didn't work so well for us. Most likely, however, your personal music player will be sitting nearby, and you can easily control the volume directly from it. This minor flaw didn't prevent us from enjoying i-Dog and his antics, and appreciating the clever, user-friendly design that's sure to appeal to dog-lovers and music-lovers alike.

What's in the Box
i-Dog Dance unit, connector cord, 3 AA batteries

This review is from: I- Dog Dance Black (Toy)

Simple toy, dances for touch and music. Very well built and surprised with Amazon price. It is uber cheap compared to the list price. Sound quality is far better than I expected. Comes with a regular 3.5mm input jack to connect your ipod/mp3 player. It doesnt have any persistent personality, so may see repeated movements quite often. It is a fun gift for 8-10 year olds, as well as a desktop toy. Every one who saw it for the first time wanted to pet it. I dont think it is worth the full list price, but at low teens fantastic value. Another nice touch is, it comes with battery. I dont like running around looking for a battery on Chirstmas morning, i want it to work once I un-wrap it.

This review is from: I- Dog Dance Black (Toy)

If you are looking at the many dancing dogs available, realize that some, such as the dalmation idog (which I also own) does not have full body movement like this dancing idog has. I reccommend this idog, as it can sit, stand up and dance, tap its toes...and has better sound than the other idogs. I managed to pick up a dalmation idog at a department store for just $[...], so it was worth the price, but they just shake their heads & ears. But this dancing idog is full movement with really good sound. I also like that I can play music through my dancing idog, while my dalmation idog "listens" and responds by listening to that music. So they are sitting next to each other on my desk, both responding to my one shuffle connected to my dancing idog...it's really cute! Also, best price on Amazon at $[...]!

This product does not shut off easily. It continues to 'yap' all the time. The music quality from it was poor. It's a cute shape... but not user friendly
