I just bought this for my nephew (8) and his little sister (4) and I was pretty excited about it (because they can't have a real dog and I thought this would be fun) but now I think I've made a bad choice. The dog itself is pretty cute but the voice on the dog is like a dude pretending to be Scooby Doo by using a lot of (sometimes hard to hear) words along with some fake dog noises. Some folks will really enjoy that, but I was expecting more dog-like noises and I think it will creep out my little neice. There is a good variety of poop humor in this toy which is also older kid stuff. Also, there is a reference to Oscar nominations for a very extreme "play dead" mode, which is way over a little kid's head. So, it's not a good fit for my shopping needs but older kids will get a kick out of it.

Rex is awesome and everything he said he was. He came quickly and looks great. I just wish they had a girl looking Rex as my girl was a little sad that Rex wasn't more "girlie". But.. he is awesome, funny, easy to use and program. Looks great, is a very "positive" toy and well worth the time we spent looking for him and the money we spent. I do recommend this guy to anyone looking for a remote control doggie. He moves very well, in all directions and does over 100 different things on command.
He even acts for you, like playing dead, very funny and entertaining for kids and adults.

I received Wrex the Dawg yesterday for Christmas. He reminds me a lot of scooby-doo. He sounds like him, and his personality is like him innocent yet a little naughty. There are two ways to operate him. 1 is his large remote. 2 he has a number pad on his back to type the numbers for his commands. Here are a few of the things wrex does. He shakes, growls, plays dead, goes dizzy, slides, begs, charges, whistles, howls, and gets excited. He pretends to chase his tail, catch flies, take a wiz, pass gas, sneeze, bite, and dance. I do not feel he is meant to be a dog for someone that wants a real dog. He is more for someone that wants to laugh and be entertained. I like how I am in control, so I get to tell him what trick to do when. I do kind of wish some of his tricks were longer like chasing his tail. Overall though I feel he is a great fun toy for older children or an adult.

My 7 year old son begged for this toy. He played with it for 1 day and hasn't touched it since. It has a very silly, annoying voice. It does some funny things and does have a lot of functions. After we got it I realized they also make a smaller one which I wish we got instead. It is much bigger than I expected and expensive.

Despite the lack of educational value, I still have to give this toy 5 stars. My son got frustrated with it at first, since it sometimes acts like a real dog and does what it wants to do, but once he realized that was what it was doing, it just added to the fun. My child plays with this almost daily, and has gotten quite a kick out of it. Being a second-grade boy, he loves that it farts and pees.

It's really a one-of-a-kind toy that is worth every cent I paid. I highly recommend it!

I purchased this robotic dog for my 12-year-old son as a Christmas present. He played with it for about 10 minutes and that was it - he has not touched it since. My tech-loving adult nephew tried it out for about 15 minutes and proclaimed "this toy is lame!". I have no issues with the seller. The dog was sent quickly and packaged securely. I'm only out the $[...] it cost so I'm not too upset. I just noticed that the price is now $[...] - yikes!

My daughters have been asking for a real dog for quite a while. Soooo...there grandmother sent them this robotic dog for Christmas this past year. They and their dad were excited about the toy for about a day. Unfortunately the dog makes strange sounds and gave my 7 year old nightmares for a while. I would not recommend this as a replacement idea for a real dog. It takes some tinkering and is quite annoying when it does work. Maybe older kids (like my husband:)) would like it but it is definatly not for young girls.

My kids have been happy with the toy dog. It is funny looking and does few tricks just that my kids use it for 20 minutes and that's it, not a toy to play for long time.

I bought this as a Christmas present for a 10 and 8-year old and they love it! Us adults were enjoying playing with it too! It's a lot of fun and the commands are hilarous!

I like this dog, he's funny, and I like that you can put in different codes to make him do stuff. The guide book comes with lots of handy info which you'll definitely want to read. Would be better suited for a child who is able to read by themselves!! My 4-year-old likes him but she isn't able to do much without my help, but she knows how to make him sneeze! He "malfunctions" a bit too often for my liking though.
