Description
The Doggie Dooley Model 3800X is an in-ground dog waste disposal system designed to help manage pet waste conveniently in residential yards. Installed below the surface, this septic-style unit helps break down dog waste naturally in the soil, offering a dedicated outdoor disposal solution that keeps cleanup centralized and out of household trash. The system measures approximately 16 x 16 x 8.5 inches and is suitable for homes with up to two large dogs or four small dogs, depending on usage and soil conditions. Installation is simple: dig a hole in the yard using a post hole digger or garden shovel, approximately 48 inches (120 cm) deep and about 8 inches in diameter, place the unit into the ground, and position it so the lid sits at ground level. Once installed, add water and dog waste as needed. For initial setup, add approximately 5 gallons (19 liters) of water to start the breakdown process. Add approximately 1 gallon (4 liters) of water each time waste is added to help support proper flow and breakdown inside the unit. For maintenance, add water regularly and use Doggie Dooley Waste Terminator tablets weekly to help support the natural breakdown process inside the unit. As the waste decomposes, liquid by-products disperse safely into the surrounding soil. The system works with natural soil bacteria to continuously process pet waste below ground. For best performance, the system should be installed in well- drained soil and climates where ground temperatures remain above 40°F. Doggie Dooley provides a practical backyard solution for pet owners who want a dedicated underground disposal system that helps keep lawns cleaner and reduces reliance on trash bags for pet waste. This product includes extended product support for up to 12 months from the date of purchase for defects under normal use. For assistance, please contact the manufacturer.

I've had this for about 3 years now and it's still working well! About once a year I have to dig a new poop hole for my medium sized dog. But, that's probably my fault for not following the instructions of adding water and enzymes. I bet if I did that each hole would last longer than a year. But even with digging a new hole once a year, it's worth it. One more slight issue. The first time I dug it up I pulled a little too hard and the plastic cracked. Still works though.

We have two large dogs, so the idea of not having to carry out heavy bags of poop was very appealing. After using this for about six weeks, I can honestly say it’s been a great solution for us. It works well and has made cleanup much easier overall. The opening could be a little bigger when adding waste, but it hasn’t been a major issue for us. Be prepared to dig a pretty deep hole for installation. Also, with two large dogs, ours is starting to fill up, and the tablets included don’t seem to break everything down fast enough. I’ll likely look into other options to help speed up the process. It is very lightweight and the lid is durable. It helps with odor a lot! It makes clean up so easy i pick up two times a day now! One thing I do like is that it’s not a permanent setup. You can move it if needed, which is helpful. I also wish the lid came in more color options, but that’s a small detail. Overall, we’re very happy with the purchase and it’s been a big improvement for managing dog waste.

Overall we love it for the ability to clean up fast and without having to use a bag or something as a middle man but it loses a star because the top cracked within the first few months and eventually shattered. So if your dogs are large dogs (we have an almost 100lb Doberman): 1. Make sure the placement is in an area they won't step on it much. Also probably in an area you don't need to mow/ can trim around easily by hand. 2. If you have clay soil it might not work. It didn't work too well for us at first but over time it's breaking down faster/better. 3. Using your own (natural) septic enzymes can increase the speed of the process. Vs the tiny tablets they provide.

I thought I'd stop by and share my thoughts with you on this thing. I bought it in March which is still frozen ground here in Michigan - today is 98 degrees, yesterday it was a record breaking 100, and it's days like this that I bought it. Before I would have little other options but to put the stuff in the trash bin, and needless to say on the hot days you'd smell it for a 100' away, if not more. It disgusted me!! I had to do something before I called the authorities on myself. Today?? I fell a day, maybe two behind on cleaning up the back yard for 1 golden retriever and 1 Newfoundland. Over to the doggie dooley it went and WOW!! I didn't get knocked over in rank smellings!! This thing is the best working item for something I never knew existed! My recommendation is 100% go buy this thing if you appreciate a solution for what I described. I didn't stick my head into the hole for testing, but both me and my wife commented on how glad we are to have this set up. It comes with a starter pack of the necessary additives, and I should definitely head over and give them a high five as well! Best solution to a long problem that I've discovered in years! Oh, and one last point, I'm no affiliate or paid review guy.. just a guy that wanted to show some consideration for anyone within striking distance to my trash can (Before)

Very light weight. The lid broke within the first month. Good idea just poorly executed.

This is one of the most exciting products I've heard about. I have been wanting to get rid of my garbage service for a while now, compost most everything and have very little waste. Well, dog poo was a large portion of our garbage, as we have two labs. Throwing it at the back of the yard to decompose naturally was not an option. My wife told me about a septic system specifically made for dog poo that she had heard about. I was like "Seriously?! Awesome!!" So, a quick search on Amazon brought me to this item. I had no hesitation in ordering this item based on reviews and the whole concept. I'ts been up and running for about two weeks. I use two tablets per week and seems to be working just fine. Not sure if the powder is any better. At this point I would say buy it! Notes: They say to dig a four foot hole, and that's it. They don't say to fill it with anything. I can't imagine the plastic cover being able to support over forty pounds. I decided to fill the hole with drain rock until this item sits on top of the rock and is flush with the ground. How it works: You buy it, bury it, fill it with water, throw a couple tablets in to get the bacteria started. Then throw a day or two worth of poo in, but no more, you don't want to overload the system. Each day you pour a gallon of WARM water in to "flush" the system. This stirs everything up, raises the water level, and empties waste into the four foot hole you dug. Then scoop daily poo into this unit. Is this smelly? Yes and no. When it's closed for the day you don't smell it, but when you open it to make a deposit, yes it's very smelly! Overall this won't stink up the whole neighborhood. Might not be best put in a place of direct sunlight for most the day as the sun will break down the plastic very fast. I believe the fact that the bacteria doesn't work well below 40 degrees, I don't work well under 40!! Highly recommended!!

It was months before I figured out a way to dig a hole deep enough. We attempted to dig it with a shovel and post digger. We also had a landscaper attempt to dig the hole in three different spots with an awl with no success. He gave up. Installing this requires digging a 64" deep hole... which you don't really understand how deep that is until you try to do it. This is much deeper than ANY post hole you'd need to dig and soil gets rockier and harder to dig the deeper you dig (at least, that's been my experience). The larger width hole isn't bad, but then you're stuck trying to dig a very thin hole for 48". Again... this is really quite deep. And unlike the larger area, you can't get leverage to lift the rocks up. You don't want to dig the thin hole wider to get rocks out because then it won't support the Dooley as well. If you want this product, I highly recommend digging the hole FIRST, then ordering it IF you're able to dig a hole to the specifications. It's an expensive item to purchase and not particularly useful if you can't bury it in your yard. Also, you want to make sure your soil has decent drainage wherever you put the hole. Otherwise it's a bad spot for the product. I finally managed to dig this using a dig bar (picked one up at the hardware store) and a post digger. A dig bar is essentially a straight pointed metal rod and it's heavy. Some are lighter than others so I recommend finding the lightest option if you are concerned about your ability to use it. I'm pretty sure they're about 16-17 lbs. When you use the dig bar, you can thrust it down to break up soil and rocks, allowing you to use the post digger to then scoop up the dirt and rocks. This allows you to dig straight down so your shelf can properly support the Dooley. You need the smaller hole to be as straight down as possible and the shelf to be as perfect as possible or you'll have dirt and rocks slip back into the hole when you place the Dooley back in the ground and fill in around the sides of it. In terms of the actual product it's a cheap, thin plastic. It technically keeps the scent in (although I'm not sure how well because we haven't had it installed during the hottest part of summer yet), but the plastic is so thin that I am very concerned about the ability of it to support any weight. Seeing a portion of it is buried under the ground, I surrounded the area with rocks to mark off where it is. But I have two young kids and I am still concerned that if one of them stepped on it, it would break and collapse. If I push on the soil above the Dooley, I can see everything flex. I'm also concerned about if it will stand-up to the weight of heavy snow. I don't think it would collapse under my dogs weight but I haven't seen either dog try to walk over it (and the heaviest is 50 lbs). I also don't see the lid lasting long if my dog decided he was interested in chewing it. In the winter (assuming you live in a cold area), the poop won't break down so you can't use it for those months. I didn't see it breaking down particularly well in the Fall, but I really can't attest to that as I installed this later in season. The ground wasn't frozen (obviously) but cool weather doesn't really do much for speedy composting. My thought is that eventually, even if the poop breaks down and composts, the hole will fill up and you'll need to relocate the Dooley. Now... Once you've dug this hole once, you're probably not going to be keen on this, particularly as I can only imagine what a smelly venture this is. Overall, I just don't think this product is practical for most people. I wanted this to work so bad. But you could probably just dig your own holes, use the enzymes separately, and save yourself some time and money. I also think it is potentially unsafe if you have children that could be in the yard (any deep holes at all). There's another product available that hooks up direct to your septic. I haven't tried it, but it looks like it might be a better long term option. Not sure about child safety on it. Don't think it's for sale on Amazon (or it wasn't when I bought this) and it's probably more expensive than this by a lot.

I had an older model dog dooley in the form of a large plastic pyramid open at the bottom that you buried in a large hole in the ground. This served me well for over 20 years, but the plastic lid at the top eventually broke from usage and fatigue, though the underground structure is still working to this day. This new model is made of steel, and is closed at the bottom. It is installed by digging a deep and narrow 48"x14" hole in the ground. I made the hole too wide, and had to use small rebar bars at the top to make it fill, and then filled the too-wide mouth of the hole with gravel. I could have dug another hole, but the initial hole was hard to dig because of roots, so decided to improvise. Make sure that the hole is narrow. Once the digester is installed, it is very easy to operate. You need to add water periodically, which overflows from the inside into the deeper hole. The opening of the digester of the digester is wide enough that the matter inside can be easily turned periodically. This helps breakdown clumps in the matter, spread the enzymes, and add oxygen. Eventually, I presume that the hole in which the digester is installed may become full, and may have to be emptied or a new hole dug, but that will probably take years. Overally if you are interested in an ecological way to digest your pet waste that does not involve plastic bags and throwing poop in your trash, I highly recommend this system. It is well designed, well built and very practical. It does take a little work to install, and light periodic maintenance.
