I ordered because of a last minute situation and I was so pleased that this arrived 1 day earlier. It is packaged very well and is easy to just unroll on the tray. It smells and looks like real grass. I have two dogs between the ages of 3-12. My dogs looked at me like I was crazy from the time I rolled it out in the garage. My dogs are well trained and are used to the command go potty outside. Well I guess they realize the garage is not outside. I tried everything including setting it outside and all they would do was sniff it and sit on it. We will probably get a new puppy in a few years and I think I may try again then changing my command to potty on grass. Maybe if the then 6 year old sees the puppy get praised and going on it he will too. I can't say enough about how easy and friendly customer service was to work with. They went above and beyond at helping me resolve this issue. I can't say for sure if it was because it isn't the kind of grass the dogs are used to or if it's just their training. I would recommend trying it for your dog. It presents a very handy solution if your dog will use it.

Fresh Patch is useful and convenient in potty training our Miniature-Schnauzer puppy! We use it inside our home, in his fenced area, and placed on top of washable puppy pads. This product was recommended by the puppy's breeder, and we have been using it daily in our home for just over two weeks ago. With the arrival of our eight week old puppy, you can imagine the use this Fresh Patch Standard Size (15lbs or less) has had! Due to already having an older mature Miniature-Schnauzer in the home, our puppy has to be kept separated since we are awaiting the necessary vaccination period to be fully protected. This means no outside walks or bathroom breaks on our back lawn. As you know, per breeder's advice, the puppy is not allowed outside on the ground, nor mingling with his older sibling Miniature-Schnauzer. So...Fresh Patch it is! This product is highly convenient! The puppy is already familiar with using it, as the breeder had started potty training him with it weeks before his arrival! In the meantime, this product works has worked well and is durable! It arrived to our residence within four days. Fresh Patch is a compact patch of grass, in a waterproof box. This Fresh Patch with frequent daily use has lasted two weeks and three days. I wished I would have ordered another Fresh Patch sooner, as two weeks is pushing it with a young puppy and time has flown by! I can see how this might last a small mature dog longer since they are not peeing and pooing as frequently as a puppy! Be sure to pick up the solid waste quickly and gently from the grass to keep it in the best condition. Even with the many clean ups this Fresh Patch has had, it does not need to be watered. You can lightly mist it if need be. Remember dogs don't like walking on soaking wet grass to pee or poo! One thing in particular, keep an eye on your puppy as they will surely show interest in the patch, and begin to chew on the grass or pull on it. Even then, very durable. Be patient! With positive reinforcement, we encourage the puppy to stay off of it and distract him from it with toys or play time. If he is really persistent, then we remove it from his area for short periods of time. Puppies chew, so yes they will show interest in the box, but not for long if they are told no and given positive reinforcement! With that said, the box does holds up well. In case poo or pee comes in contact with the box, and it surely will. Glove up, grab a few paper towels, and wipe the sides down with puppy-safe cleaner or safe homemade cleaner periodically to freshen it up and keep it sanitary. I haven't had to do it too often, meaning lots throughout the day, as the puppy uses the Fresh Patch well. When the time comes, dispose of the Fresh Patch box in the trash. Also, you could compost the grass as well! Be sure to save money and use their Save 50% On Your Next Fresh Patch sticker when it arrives. Email Fresh patch a link or your Amazon review and receive your discount code. I do not know if these are included with each order or only after your second order, whichever look into it. One downside, Fresh Patch does not include a resuable tray for customers, as DoggieLawn does. Fresh Patch requires a separate purchase for the tray, but it should be included or as an option or at least with your first purchase! This will encourage repeat business and keep your customers happy! Overall, this product gets a thumbs up!

We started using fresh patch when we got our first puppy. It was one of the best decisions we made for potty training, a game changer. We have it set up on our balcony and our pup goes straight to it every time. While it is pricey, in our experience the grass has lasted upwards 3 weeks. We have had no issues with odors or leaking so far! It's an investment but if you can fit it into your budget it's worth giving it a go.

Product as advertised. Nice green grass came rolled in plastic. My dogs refuse to use fake grass to potty on. My only complaint is that I have 2 dogs and the pee is trapped under the grass in the tray and no way to drain it unless I tip it over the balcony. I put puppy pads under the grass to soak up some pee and change them out every couple days. I have no access to a hose to rise it off. I purchased the largest tray I could get as I do have 2 dogs. It has been a lifesaver for those late night potty breaks. No issues with product or seller. Will buy again.

I love the way this came packaged, just had to break the tape then lift the top. I put it on puppy pads because I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened this package for the first time but I was pleasantly surprised! I have a jack Russell (Mr. Skittles) seen in the photo above he was sniffing all over it as well as my chihuahua Minnie. I got this option because Skittles recently had to go on lasix and I wanted him to have somewhere to go potty if/when I wasn't home. Would recommend, however I cannot comment on smell once they have used the bathroom over and over, will have to come back and update this review! But overall would recommend
