Dog proof Kitchen Waste Basket

[Joann Valerio]

Searched the site, but couldn't find the answer. Anyone got something that really works?

[Susan and Bentley]

I'm not sure if this would work for you but we got a waste basket at Bed Bath and Beyond that has a cover on it and you need to step on the bottom for it to open.  We put one in our bathroom and he never bothered with it.  But he's a mini....

We got these in all our rooms as well and my girls are big (65/40 #'s). Haven't gotten into them yet?? (Knocking on wood)! We found some good deals at tjmaxx, marshals, ikea, and the container store.

Put the waste basket under the sink.

I agree--rather than getting a wastebasket that's going to present itself as a challenge to your dog, if at all possible keep it out of reach.

No room. :(

We actually bought a microwave cart before we got the dog (waste can out of sight).  Well, Baylor is 7 months and opens the door with his nose.  We now use a large carabiner to keep it closed. Easy to lock and remove.

Ours is in the cabinet under the sink.

Do they ever outgrow this?

[Amy and Annabelle]

I have always had a metal trash can with a step lever. Annabelle has never bothered it. She doesn't seem interested in the trash can, so I guess I am lucky with that. Probably won't just outgrow it, you would have to train him not to do it, just like with counter surfing, or eliminate the temptation..

We use a motion sensor trash can, nine stars brand. These can be bought on Amazon as a set with a smaller office/bathroom trashcan that is also motion sensor operated for around $75. Hudson is the ultimate paper snatcher, so this tech upgrade has saved us a lot of headaches. We also find it hilarious when she jumps back after hearing the lid open on its own.

What is up with the paper?? Napkins, papertowels...... He thinks its fun when we chase him, he's got some slick moves.  Silly doodles.

Used kleenex during cold season was a challenge. I don't know how many times I said "Annie you're so gross".
