Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We purchased this Doggie Dooley. When it arrived I was surprised it wasnt more sturdy. Once we finally dug the hole dimensions which was a job, we insert the dooley. All summer this worked great, as long as we were good at picking poop up at least every 1-3 days AND filling with water as directed, next day all poop was disolved. Although, when we filled and did the intitial water test, some of the dirt from the sidewalls that we just dug tried to cave in. This did not affect the dooley. We did find that once the Fall got here the poop did not disolve as quickly. When Winter got here, the dooley in now filling with poop. I have called septic tank pumping places, they have told me that the ground temp affects the ability for the enzymes to do their job. The suggestion was to activate the enzymes by putting them in warm water before putting the solution in the ground. We were just adding cold hose water all summer/fall/winter, never had a problem til the ground went cold. I think if you live in areas that your ground doesnt get super cold this would be great. I havent given up on this dog dooley yet. I have been getting warm water from the sink and pouring it in the hole. I live in southern Oregon. We have not had snow, and have only had temps just dip below freezing. Our ground is not frozen, and has not froze yet. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
