The Wizdog concept is a great idea. It has the potential to be perfect for me and my dog.The problem is the grate is made of a hard flimsy crackable plastic with jagged edges! I cannot understand why they've chosen such an inappropriate plastic for the grate. It will bend and crack just by holding it in your hand. It is impossible to clean it daily without it breaking. I have replaced the grate and the same thing happened again. It is actually stressful trying to handle it without it breaking. Even before it breaks, the plastic has jagged edges that can hurt a pups paw. When it cracks it can be downright dangerous. I contacted the company last year and they said they were working on redesigning it. One year later they have not. I wonder how many dogs they have hurt. You will waste your money if you purchase this product prior to them redesigning the grate with a better plastic.

Our 4 month old puppy is paper trained. So when we got the Wizdog 2 weeks ago we put the puppy pad on the blue box, without the grid just so he can get used to the base. No we started adding the grid and he refuses to go on it and ends up peeing on the floor next to it! I don't know if it's the smell of the plastic or what, but it's not working well.

I love my Wizdog because it eliminates puddles on the floor that sometimes happen when my dog gets too close to the edge of her papers. The tray contains all urine, keeping it off the floor. It's so easy to clean up, and it keeps her feet and long fur clean!!! I just pick up poop with toilet paper and flush it as soon as possible because it can get stepped on and mashed into the grate. But this hardly ever happens with my dog. I'm considering buying a second one for another level of our home!

We used this on our puppy. We were living in a condo and our puppy couldn't hold it long enough to go down the elevator (of course!). We were using puppy pads, but he would step on the urine and poop especially when we praised him afterwards, he would get excited and just mess it all up. To top it off, he would run to the puppy pad, but would go on a corner of the pad and get urine all over the floor. We couldn't fault him for trying though!

With the wizdog, he knew exactly where to go! I think it was helpful it was raised a bit so he knew where the boundary of it was, so he would usually run to the center of it and go!

We would use the puppy pads underneath the grate and it would be easy cleanup. Couple things to watch for -- sometimes the poop gets stuck in the grid, so it's a bit of a hassle to clean if it goes into the grate, so keep a toilet brush handy. Second tip, if you put it on top of a floor that's slippery (we placed our on top of tile), our puppy would run to it, and it would slide, so we ended up putting those non-slip mats underneath to prevent the wizdog from sliding.

We used this for a good 3-4 months until we knew for sure our dog could hold it longer, and we transitioned him to going potty outside. This was a great transitionary help for us!!!!

This was a total waste of money. My pomeranian was very uncomforable with the grating because she has small paws. Newspapers don't fit into the plastic container if I want to use it w/o the grates which, of course, defeats the entire purpose. It was $50 thrown away.

I think that this is a great product. It helps contains dog waste in an easy to clean way as well as keeps your dogs feet clean by keeping thhem from stepping in thier urine. I was very pleased with this product.

We had problems ourselves trying to get our young JRT at that time to get on it. We started out with the puppy pads. Then we placed those puppy pads on the wizdog. We then put the grill back on and placed the puppy pad over the grill. Then, placed the puppy pad under the grill. After persistent and patient training, actually being there watching him, and giving him postive reinforcement, it worked. He's almost 2 years old now, and still uses it. We actually use newspapers underneath the grill, so clean up is much easier than just straight liquid underneath. It's been great. Although our JRT might miss once in a while (he's not perfect, who is?) it keeps his feet clean to run around the house.
