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 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.
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. Will it dissolve all the poo and allow it to merrily drain into the bottom of that hole? Nope. If you have more than one large dog, the poo will form a nasty sludge that will float on the top of the Dooley (and stink). On a hot day, you will find that often you will bag the poo and toss it in your trash can to avoid the Dooley.In the early winter, I removed most of the rocks I had used to shore it up near the top and yanked off the lid (one quick yank)and let the contents freeze. After it was good and frozen, I removed the Dooley and took it to the dump.If you really want to try a doggie septic tank, get a five gallon bucket at a yard same (usually around a buck), drill a 1 inch diameter hole near the top and take a plastic pipe elbow and stick it in the bucket’s hole, and attach a piece of plastic pipe about 2 feet long; put the bucket in the top of a three to four foot hole making sure that there is room for water to drain out of the the pipe in the bucket and into the deep hole. Pick up a product made to dissolve contents of a septic tank. There you have it for less than five bucks, and you have a handle so that if it doesn’t work you can lift it out and haul it to the dump.
