Sorry to hear the kickstarter wasn't a success. :\

Why wouldn't the dog just stick its leg in there and keep on hitting the bottle

@Kilgore98 your dog has a bad behavior, and is your fault not his :)

The link suggests that this great toy is not able to make it... FUNDING UNSUCCESSFUL This project reached the deadline without achieving its funding goal on January 20.

Is this item available for sale?

Your dog has bad legs because he eats all day and is too fat. Quit feeding your dog to much .You are killing your dog. It may look cute but fat dogs die soon. I can not understand why dog owners do this to their dogs and over feed them.

Great build by the way. Laser cutting was something you couldn't even dream of doing for a prototype years ago - if you knew such options even existed. Times are changing.

Search for Cobrachoppergirl's offensive comment, Day 34: Our chief engineer shorted out our communicator while trying to hot-wire the controls on a locked hatch with its power cell, all hopes of reestablishing a comm link with our ship have now been lost. Rations are running low. Ensign Chang followed a hallucination of a cheeseburger out an airlock almost taking the whole away team with him. If my my mission fails I can only hope others find my log and learn from our mistake. IGNORE THE TROLLS.

That treat machine should be a product for dogs!

It could be adapted to become a child toilet trainer. Although I'm not sure having treats come out would be that hygienic! It could definitely be made to be musical or have motivational words played every time a poop was sensed!
