Alright, so, when I first tried this, my picky little doggie would not use it. They have a great video on training that I used, though, and she started using it while we were living in an apartment. Then when we moved to a townhouse with limited access to grass, it was like she realized it was the best choice and started using it. I freaking love the bark pad. What I like:(1) Dog doesn’t miss. My little girl had a tendency to miss a pee pad, and even if she didn’t miss a pee pad, she would often step in her own pee and leave a trail of pee paw prints. With the bark pottt, she climbs up the teeny ledge, goes, and then steps off. So no more missing!!! I love this.(2) High performance. This works for at least a month for a small dog. Look, if you have a large dog, you probably aren’t going to get a month out of this thing. But I have a 10 pound dog. We are the bark potty’s target audience. It lasts us 4-5 weeks with no problems at all with smell. Also no leaks and you have to look to see where she has peed. No need to clean the thing. Just put it by the door and leave it alone for your doggie’s use.(3) Accessories. I think this is far more attractive than a pee pad, but I would love to see more accessories. The company does make a nonslip mat, though, and a nice looking wooden box. I plan to order one of those soon.The thing I am most concerned about is that this will not be available in a few months because not enough people give it a long enough chance to work. Give it a try! Use their training methods. This is replacing pee pads in my house. So satisfied!

My dog was able to pull out this staple they used in the product in the photo and almost ate it. This product is garbage. He also tried to eat the bark which falls out of this thing. I also called them for a potty appointment at a certain time and no one answered. Amazon should not carry this product.

I can't say it's good or bad because my dog won't use it. What I will say is that it is bark in a small box, covered in mesh. It also has some poop bags to use as needed. Like I said, my dog won't use it sooo, judge for yourself.

I really like this product. I lived in an area with pretty rough winters and my pup was born in November right before the season started, it has worked wonders for us. I lived in a small apartment (2nd) floor in an urban area with almost cero areas for him to potty. He adjusted very quick to it and lasted for over a month with no smell, I Love than it means less waste and mess than the potty pads and it is very easy to install and move around. I have a french bulldog he is now 1+ years and 22 pounds, since he is more of a chunk, I have to renew the box more often (every 2 weeks average in winter), but as a single first dog-mom living in the wild of urban areas with a 9-5 job, it saved my life, and the smell of the box also helped my dog identify 'dirt/ grass' as potty spots so he also does pretty good when we take him outside for potty.

When we were only four days in, I thought this was great for my German Shepherd/Husky Mix. Supposedly replaces 60 pee pads, which is about 3 weeks worth for us, and the price of this vs pee pads is relatively comparable. I used towels and washable pee pads for 2 months but really wanted the convenience of not having to touch and clean them constantly, but not have to keep buying pee pads, either.This worked great! But only for four days. I used the baggies to pick up poop, and there is much less smell than before! When poop sits on a pee pad or towel along with urine, it makes a lingering smell of mixed up urine and poop, in addition to just the poop. Here, I have only the poop smell until I clean it up! No ucky mixed smell, no urine odor. It had been awesome.Then came day 5, and the smell of urine. By day 6, strong odor. Today is day 7 and I need to get it out of here!So in my home, with one large dog using it and at least a couple of cats pooping there so presumably peeing as well, it does not last even a week. When I bought it, I thought I paid $35 which was pretty good if it really replaced 60 pee pads, but when I looked back at it the price is now $50. $50 per week is waaaaaaay too pricey. I can't buy this every week.I have 5 cats, and I'm not sure who, but some combo of them use it, too. Fine by me! I'm going to buy the smaller version for them, so they can have their own to replace one of the litter boxes. The scratching has yet to tear the netting or make a barky mess. So they'll still get one accessible to only them, and it'll be interesting to see how long it lasts.Loose stool that plops like melted soft serve ice cream worried me a bit, because for some reason our big boy goes between squishy plops and firm poop in the same day nearly every day (maybe every day). But I just pick it up with the bag, use toilet paper to scrape up what remains, and amazingly the residue seems to not be noticeable by sight or smell afterward. Nice!The included baggies are a bit difficult to access initially. I used the handle of a butter knife to bust the cardboard cover, then fished out the bags with the blade. I love how they're included and are right out of the edge there, but they only lasted until day 3.I really hoped this would last 3 weeks! This dog urinated a lot. It did not even last a whole week before needing to be replaced, which is very disappointing.Suggestions:1) Ease up the bag accessibility2) Lengthen the box, like as long as a towel. It does not need to be wider, but an extra 6 inchex wide wouldn't hurt though am extra 12 or 18 inches long would really be ideal; if twice as long, then the large dogs will have more surface area to pee, than pretty much just the center.I wish there was a smaller one, like the size of a litter box, not only so this would pretty much fit in a litter box but also so it could fit on the floor of the car for travel, in a carrier, and in a small area for a small dog. I have a small bratsky dog that insists on peeing in the kitchen and how awesome if there was one maybe 15x15 or 20 inches to place there.If the netting was metal, this would work well for a rabbit.I am going to try a real grass potty spot next, then write a comparison. If this bark potty had lasted longer (minimum two weeks instead of less than one week) and if the real grass worked out well, too, I would have just bought one of each set them end to end, with a gap in between so my big boy does not pee where they touch. Instead, I think I'll make my own bark potty that I dump every few days, and see if perhaps that is economical. I'll keep you posted!

Very small and my dogs are 20 and 25 lbs and too big to use.

I put my yorkie on it, and she used it right away. For the first week I had to take her to it and she would use it every time. Now I don't have to take her she uses it on her own. This is my second one because I noticed she was running out of spots to pee using the corners almost off the pad. I ordered her a fresh one. The first one lasted almost 2 months. Perfect for winter time.

My dog barely marked it, so not even full pee, and it soaked all the way through and onto the kitchen floor. Luckily it’s tile so not that big of a deal but if you had a rug or carpet, it would definitely not be protected. It wasn’t absorbent in any way. There’s also very loose dirt/dust that falls very easily from the box so make sure you aren’t totally against that.
