hahaha WHAT?! I don' t even know what to think about that...

I'm appalled by this! I would never allow my son (3-year-old minature pinscher Tig) to have such an innapropriate item! Not only is it disgusting and degrading to man's best friend, it encourages the sexualization of dogs. Don't spend your money on this item. Go out and get your little buddy fixed!

Oh, wow. I think I'm traumatized. I also can't imagine how much it costs...and our pitbull would simply chew it to shreds. *sigh*

That is SICK.

Nicole or go get your little buddy laid.

Canine vacations spent at the breeders is much nicer than in a kennel.

This week's sign that the apocalypse is upon us...

Spay and neuter your pets! Gah.

There are plenty of neutered pets that are serial humpers as well. That being said...this is just...disturbing. And I'm in the "sensual aids (for humans) business...

I am in love with the makers of this toy. Taking anthropomorphism to a whole new level....

Love it!

If you want some maybe your dog does too...

Oooh, the possibilities. They should hold a tag line contest. Really. They should.

Ewww - and I presume the owner would have to regularly clean out the back bit?

People get over it. I think its a great idea. I
mean people have sex toys to help get
them "off". I think a dog should have one
too. Now they only need one for girls.

I agree with everyone that is "pro" this toy. We can all agree that it's definitely a pretty wild idea, but why are we such prudes in America? Someone mentioned that it might not be good to teach that behavior as far as doggy etiquette is concerned and that's a valid point (and a good one). However, we need to accept that sex is a part of life and it's not dirty or disgusting no matter what the species...it's just part of life. And might I add that it's a REALLY good part of life, so let's enjoy it rather than always being so "disgusted" with everything. Ever think maybe your dog thinks it's disgusting when you have sex?

Oh. My. God. This is way more than bizarre and too many creepy people out there who would do God knows what kind of extracurricular activities with it themselves.

Pull this thing from the online shelves!!

Gross, but not morally reprehensible.

REALLY Gross.

BeagleMom - If everything that was used, in some way, shape or form, by the perverts of the world for perverted purposes, was made contraband, we would have no products in which to live. As much as the moral-based groups of America deny (vehemently), EVERYONE is covered under the freedom of expression law.

I'm just glad there is no demo video...

I wonder what cleanup is like...

I kinda want one for myself.

Woof Woof. I am a dog, and I think this is great.

Pics, or it doesn't work!

I agree with everyone who says this is a good idea.
I'm European and I don't understand how Americans can be so prude. Do you prefer to have your dog frustrated and trying to hump other people's legs? Haven't you ever masturbate yourselves? Even gorillas and other primates masturbate while captive. What is the problem? Cleaning up after? So what? Don't you pick your dog's poop?
Just relax, people.
I totally agree with Anonymous July 28 8:03 PM.

My dog so needs this!

I don't understand how Europeans can be so stuck up. Everyone in America loves this idea and thinks it's great. We are all going to get one for our dogs. ALL of us... I speak for everyone in the country.

Get over it, people. It beats the HELL outta them using a nasty soggy stuffed animal or worse yet, your leg (or that of your guests). Anyone who thinks that neutering solves this problem does not know much. If you neuter too early, you are doing a lot of harm to your best friend (but that is off topic).

The "pros" have a problem with the personification of animals. They're DOGS, not people. Do they have sexual need? I don't know and I don't care. We don't give whacking off their sex organs a second thought, be we want to make sex toys for dogs?

This is just sick. The market for this will be those who like to watch dogs hump... and maybe the occasional weirdo who wants to hump an imaginary dog.

What's next? Online dating for dogs? Doggy cell phones, so they can text that hot poodle up the block?

Get real, people! They're dogs! In some cultures, they're food!

Um, kinda a neat idea...I guess. I really don't feel like cleaning it up, but then I don't particularly like doing lots of things for my animal...like expressing their anal glands. But, having said that....can't they make it look a little more canine. I'm sorry, the human equivalent would be to walk into a department store and hump and (anatomically correct) manequin. (sp?)...at least make part of it furry or something. This looks like a Fisher Price toy.

Hang on....to all of you who are saying this is anthropomorphising.....

[What] is wrong with you? YOU are the ones who are projecting your own sexual mores and hangups onto your dogs. Dogs will hump stuff, people, other dogs. Hell, my Dachshund loves to...after he's eaten his daily raw meat....or when exciting visitors come over.

It's no big deal.....honestly. It is not disturbing, it is not wrong, it is nature....

We're the ones who mess with nature by domesticating our lovely pets and then castrating them....the least we could do is help them satisfy the desires that they don't even understand.

To Tamater:

No. Projecting my own sexual hangups (assuming I have any) on my dog would involve purchasing him a sex toy. NOT buying him a sex toy simply acknowledges that he's a dog. Yeah, dogs hump stuff. I'm not going to encourage that behavior, and I'm certainly not going to facilitate it.

Oh wow! Sex toys for dogs now! Maybe our idiot Attorney General here in Alabama will outlaw them too. After all, the sexualization of Man's Best Friend is something only those heathen Tennesseeans might do!

In all seriousness, it's grossly unfair to ask complete celibacy of our companion animals. They have a right to be kinky too!

I think it's a terrific idea and agree with everyone who is "for" it ... what's wrong with it? If you don't like it, no one says you have to buy it or use it .. I bet a few men are going to be buying these. LOL My male is neutered and has never humped. He'd probably just play with it.

Wow Nicole, are you really that dumb? It is inappropriate to buy a sex doll for a dog so GO GET HIS BALLS CUT OFF!! Yeah that makes sense.

@Tracy

Ah....but what's wrong with "encouraging" it.... or even "facilitating" it....

By saying this you're letting on that you think humping behaviour is 'wrong'....

and that's my point. You are projecting your judgements onto your dog.

To those who feel that dogs don't have sexual urges or needs, or that acknowleging such urges and needs in your dog is a form of anthropomorphism... Heads up... The fact that dogs exist at all demonstrates they have sexual / reproductive urges.

I've seen dogs demonstrate this urge on the legs of house guests, pillows & stuffed toys. That said, I wouldn't get my dog such a device, not out of prudishness, but rather, that device does not look very comfortable, and cleanup looks difficult. A pillow or stuffed animal for strictly that purpose is i am sure a more comfortable solution for your dog, and clean-up would be a lot easier for you, assuming you have access to a washing machine.

Dogs should be able to have sex too it's human nature. Your not going to encourage that behaviour? What if you had an owner who old you you couldn't have sex.

Some people are way too prudish for their own good

Now my dog has a new owner.

Lol. I love it! Best laugh I got so far today. Thank you idiotic intuition.

I am not necessarily for it or against it...to each their own, but what about other animals, we all know bunnies have a strong sexual/reproductive urg....

Love the picture! There's a guy whose job it is to explain what the little hole in the back is for? Who can do that job with a straight face?

Oh, who cares? If you don't like it. don't buy the thing, then! Prudes, uptight ... really, what harm does it do?

Grrr,

Woof woof woof. Arf bark ruff ruff ruff. Bow WOW aroooooo.

Pant,

Rex.

Did anyone do any market research here? It doesn't look like a real dog, it doesn't look like it would behave like a real dog, I doubt it smells like a real dog - what's for the average dog to think it's his to hump?

Now the dog can be just like me! I wonder if he would use it for the HOV lane too... maybe that was to much info.

wow, i must get our dog one of these ... he's always embarassing us by hugging on to to visitors legs! this should calm his urges

usually I dont mind
"cleaning up after the dog"
I really dont know about THIS...

I'm more concered about the material. lol. Looks slippery.

Now for reals people, there is nothing wrong with dogs having sexual urges. They all do. Gross for us, yes may be, but it is the true nature of things.
As for thinking we should neuter your dogs because you find it gross they like to hump/have sexual urges, I say, YOU who think that, shouldn't have a dog at all. Or even kids, so you don't pass your ignorance to them.
Someone said : ''what about rabbits? They have sexual urges too''.. Yes darling, they do, but they don't usually have an owner who will spend a couple of hundreds to buy him/her a sexual toy and let's face it, a dog is not the same as a bunny, in emotional terms and bonds with owner. A totally different 'league'.
As for you, who as me, are europeans and said ''you americans are prude'' I say you're totally wrong. Just plain wrong. You can't generalize things like that and you're also ignorant if you do.

In conclusion and in my opinion, I don't think this is wrong or inappropriate, it's marketing, it's grabbing an idea and making it real, they know what they're doing and they will probably profit from it. Would I buy it for my dog? hell no, but I will find him a pretty frenchie girl to 'play' with some day and meanwhile he can have my 'george bush stuffed toy' to hump whenever.
peace out!

There might be a few safety issues with this toy, and I'm not just thinking about chewing and swallowing the plastic.

This may be another indication that we've moved dogs to the position of surrogate humans. Who would object to giving dogs a status equal to ours? Not me. But my point is that dogs have different needs than their all to gullible human companions are led to believe.

Just a thought.

You guys know that dogs hump as a dominance behavior right? It has NOTHING to do with sex. Dogs only have the ability to "get in the mood" when there's an ovulating female (or when they are ovulating, if female). They only act, and presumably feel and think sexually when theres a possibility to reproduce. This should be obvious, since so many female dogs and puppies spayed/nuetered well before sexual maturity also "hump," and they hardly have the equipment for that to be a sexual behavior. Because they are dogs, and NOT people. So if lil rover is humping your mother in law's leg, its got nothing to do with a lack of sex. This isn't about prudishness, it's just plain goofy to worry about your dog's sex life.

Okay, so all you people are fine with yourselves having sexual identities (reproduction irrelevant) but you think dogs are too lowly to deserve any enjoyment? Even a fixed dog can still have an instinct to have a little fun. Too many of these posts are by selfish humans who enjoy depriving animals of recreation.

if he wants one, let him buy it himself!

This isn't the first dog sex toy. There was another released a few years ago.

Wtf!! I should have made that!! Make millions! Ugh my luck

Is back there where you hide the milkbones???

I wonder if its dishwasher safe

Doggie CONDOMS are next! (talk about doing it "human style!"

Great for the pedophile as well !!!!...... I love it. Perhaps now they may think twice !!!!!
Keep an Eye on your Dogs everyone ... you never know when he's being watched !!!

And when the dog who gets this toy can't find it, there are always friendly-looking legs nearby.

I care enough about my pooch not to expose him to a hygienic mess that this poses. I'm not going to clean it and I'm sure he won't.

to nicole,

getting your dog fixed doesn't change a thing, it just turns them gay. ask any owner of two male dogs, one is always going to hump the other.

eewwwww

Leave it to the Brazilians !!!!

I think this toy is a wonderful idea, my pet is spayed, and he is a hump-o-matic on nearly everything T_T, including guests. I think this is revolutionary and I salute the people who made it. I'll buy one for Tuffy for sure. People have to accept that dogs have needs just as people do only they dont have hands to solve their sexual repression. Sex is natural to all creatures, stop making it something dirty and start recognizing it as a need to all species.

(btw, Tuffy is a Mini-Pin)

This is so cool

Really, I am very much appreciate on your blog.

if my dog was to get one he would no longer be a virgin!!! poor dog i gotta get one now

I am in the same boat as Why Not...Even though my dog is fixed, he humps everything that moves! maybe this would keep him off new dogs and house guests!

Haha..what a nice invention! I thought humans can only have sex toys but now, dogs too can have one..Great!
