Product Description
The Doggie Dooley is like a miniature septic tank for your dog's waste. Simple start-up. Just dig a hole, drop in the Doggie Dooley, add water and the Digester Powder, and your system is ready to go. System breaks down dog waste using the enzyme and bacteria action in the Waste Terminator Digester Powder. Built-in overflow lets treated liquid seep into hole-in-ground below unit. Select a site away from the house. It is recommended the location should be reached by a garden hose. Dig a round hole 48" deep by 14" in diameter. Use a post hole digger, if possible; otherwise, use a garden spade. Drop the Doggie Dooley into the ground hole. Shoulder flange should rest firmly on ground level. The unit requires normal ground drainage. Do not dig in a clay area. Find a location in your yard with minimum clay content in the soil. Fill the tank with about four gallons of water mixed with two tablespoons of digester powder. Drop dog waste into tank as soon as possible after filling with water. Dog waste should be added daily along with a quart of water. Adding water is very important and will keep the unit working properly. Water should overflow into the bottom of the hole when added to the unit. Add Waste Terminator Powder (one tablespoon) Weekly.

 Great idea -doggie septic tank September 12, 2008
I have not installed yet but I am convinced it will work well. I feel the metal body could be a little sturdier. It doesn't feel very strong but as long as I do not snap off the lid with the mower, it should last a while. The concept is fantastic. No more pooh in the trash -YAY
Stinkerooo!!! August 30, 2008
The installation is pretty straight forward. I have only had it for a week and a half but with two dogs and plenty of activator it seems to smell pretty bad. It is in our side yard and I can smell it out front. If it was blue I could pretend it was a porta potty. At this point I wouldnt buy another one. I have followed the directions to the letter so I will give it another week before I pull it out.
 FANTASTIC PRODUCT -- WORTH THE WORK. May 23, 2008

IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, THIS IS QUITE A JOB, BUT WELL WORTH IT! I INSTALLED 2 OF THE GALVANIZED STEEL ROUND TYPE...TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS EACH WITH A FEW 'BODY STRETCHING' BREAKS. DEFINITELY GET A HEAVY-DUTY BRANCH/ROOT CUTTER...IF YOU ARE NEAR TO LARGE TREES, YOU WILL INEVITABLY COME UPON LARGE ROOTS. I WENT A BIT DEEPER BY 3-5 INCHES IN ORDER TO LINE THE BOTTOM WITH 2-3 INCHES OF ROUNDED BEACH STONE AS WAS TOLD IS DONE WITH REGULAR SEPTIC TANK INSTALLATIONS. I USED THE 'AS SEEN ON TV' AUGER FOR DIGGING AFTER GETTING 2 FEET IN USING A STANDARD SHOVEL. THE AUGER ATTACHES TO A STANDARD POWER DRILL AND IS ALSO SOLD AT CVS PHARMACY STORES ($19.99). IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE LOOSE DIRT AFTER GOING ABOUT 3FT. DOWN, YOU DEFINITELY NEED A POST DIGGER FOR 'LOOSE' DIRT REMOVAL. GET A GOOD ONE, OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE WORKING FOREVER TO GET THE LOOSE DIRT OUT FROM A VERY DEEP HOLE! USING THE SHOVEL AFTER 3FT. WILL CAUSE THE WIDTH OF THE HOLE TO GO BEYOND THE 14 INCHES AS THE HANDLE WILL RUB AGAINST THE SIDES OF THE HOLE. IF THIS HAPPENS, WHICH DID HAPPEN TO ME WITH MY FIRST INSTALLATION, YOU CAN STILL SECURE THE SEPTIC TANK BY PLACING (9) 12"X6"X2" PAVER STONES ($1.69 EA. AT HOME IMPROVEMENT STORES)IN THE SHAPE OF A SUNBURST LENGTHWISE FROM THE HOLE EDGE OUTWARD TO DECREASE THE WIDTH ACCORDING TO HOW MUCH YOU OVERSIZED. AFTER PLACING THE TANK, FURTHER SECURE BY FIRST FILLING THE SPACES BETWEEN THE PAVERS WITH DIRT UP TO THE PAVER LEVEL (YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF DIRT)THEN PLACE MORE PAVER STONES BETWEEN THE SPACES OF THE FIRST SET, AGAIN IN A LENGTHWISE SUNBURST FASHION AND RIGHT UP AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE LID, AGAIN FILLING THE SPACES WITH DIRT. LAST, MAKE A CIRCLE WITH ADDITIONAL PAVERS WIDTHWISE AROUND THE TOP OUTERMOST EDGES OF THE SECOND SET OF PAVERS. I ALSO DID A SECOND OUTER CIRCLE OF PAVERS ON TOP OF THE FIRST SET PLACING OVER THE JOININGS OF THE FIRST PAVER CIRCLE...MY PAVERS WERE 10 POUNDS EACH, SO THAT EVEN WHEN MY MY 3 70+ POUND SHEPHARDS AND SIBERIAN HUSKY STEPPED ON THE CONTAINER, IT REMAINED SECURE AS I KNEW THEY WOULD DEFINITELY EXPLORE. I DID THIS SET-UP WITH MY SECOND INSTALLATION EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T OVERSIZE THE HOLE, AS IT NOT ONLY SECURED THE CONTAINER BUT ALSO MADE THE DOG PEN LOOK MUCH NICER ALONG WITH PUSHING MORE DIRT AROUND THE EDGES AND ADDING SOME NEW RUBBERIZED MULCH AND A SMALL TENT COVER OVER EACH TANK SINCE WE'VE HAD LOTS OF RAIN LATELY IN NJ.
THIS PRODUCT IS A GOD-SEND...NOT ONLY FOR ME & MY NEIGHBORS, BUT FOR THE TRASH COLLECTORS AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENT! HEY, YA KNOW WHAT KERMIT OUR LITTLE MUPPET FROG FRIEND SAYS, "GO GREEN!"

Great once in the ground May 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Once we got it in the ground (that was by far the hardest part, I would not recommend doing it without a post digger) it worked great. After having it a while, it is easy to slip and not put water in it everyday. That seems ok, I wouldn't let it get away from you though, it can get nasty in about a week. REALLY nasty.
A couple of things you should know... April 21, 2008

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"
