Doggie Dooley = Clean Yard
I've been using this product for about 5 weeks and am completely satisfied. I had some concerns about the durability of the pyramid shaped model so I went with the galvanized steel model even though I only have 1 large breed dog. This model also came fully assembled and ready for the ground. The free scooper that was supposed to come with it was not included, so I was gyped there. The lid is hinged and opens easily but also will stay open for you which is great. I took some shortcuts on installation that have not affected operation. 1st, I started using a post hole digger but quickly went to the shovel. Don't buy the diggers just for this job-they are not essential. I also didn't dig the full 4 feet recommended. If you have good drainage, its not needed in my opinion. I dug deep enough to house the unit with an additional 8-12 inches of clearance and have experienced no problems. You'll want to install this near the end of your water hoses reach away from the house. It...
Dig a hole; buy a bucket
I bought the original model of this, the plastic one which was not sturdy or useful. The newer metal one is probably sturdier, but I think it would have worked out the same for me. Starting at the top, the plastic lid... after two days, the edges warped from the sun, I'm in Michigan, not Death Valley.
But let's start at the beginning... dig a hole.. a deep hole and make it the small diameter specified, and make it four feet deep! Yeah, that's easy. Then, unless you have an auger and get it perfect, get some bricks or wood to shore up the Dooley when you install it. Now that it's in, fill it with water and add the special, special, enzyme (special, special = expensive). Drop in the poo and then add another gallon of water, and add that gallon EVERY TIME YOU ADD POO. Now, if you have two large dogs like I do, who each poop on average three times each day, you will be schlepping six gallons of water daily to feed the Dooley, and you will use more than double the enzyme...
A couple of things you should know...
The Doggie Dooley 3000 has been installed for a couple of months now, and appears to work just fine. No odor, and no backups even though it is installed in GA clay. Two things you should know: (1) The lid is still plastic, although the rest of it is galvanized metal; and (2) Be sure to undersize the hole until you are 4 feet deep, then widen it out to 14"
