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.

 FANTASTIC PRODUCT -- WORTH THE WORK. May 23, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
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

Once we got it in the ground (that was by far the hardest part, I would not reccomend doing it without a post digger) it worked great.
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"

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 doesn't reek too bad until you open the door and flush the system with the hose. Thats when that liquified poop stirs up. I add stool about every other day and flush the system weekly. The enzyme has lasted this long(5 wks.) with half a bag left and I am pretty liberal with it. Buying the extra bucket of enzyme is inevitable.
So far it's handling my three dogs waste just fine March 17, 2008

This was pretty easy to install and is handling waste from our three medium sized dogs (35-55 pounds). I scoop everyday and it only smells when I'm adding the water (I use a pretty high powered hose). I only wish it could work year round!
