Doggie Doorbell Lets Your Dog Signal You
It installs quickly without any tools and consists of a battery-operated transmitter and a receiver. A weather-proof adapter that houses the transmitter is mounted on a door or a wall near a door, either inside or outside, with mounting tape. The receiver - which sounds the chime - is placed inside the house. A round yellow “push plate” attaches to the transmitter. The push plate should be at about the same height as the dog’s nose after the adapter is installed.
The dog uses its nose or can be trained to use its front paws. A built-in treat holder, located behind the push plate, can be used to help train your dog to use the doorbell. According to the company, the Pebble Smart doorbell offers many benefits. You won’t have to worry about when to let your dog outside because the dog lets you know, and that can help avoid toilet accidents in the house. If your dog is already outside he can just go to the doorbell, ring it, and wait for you to let him in. He won’t be jumping up and scratching on the door to let you know he wants to come inside. If you want you can even take the doorbell with you when traveling.
The company says that in open space, the working distance between a transmitter and a receiver is more than 250 ft. With walls and other obstacles, it will be shorter but more than enough for most houses.
A single pack containing one transmitter and one receiver sells for $30 with free shipping within the U.S.
A 2-Pack can be used separately or paired to work together. The company says when your dog uses 2 different doors, it’s best to let the 2 doorbells work separately so you can set the receivers to different tones (there are 20 to select from). When the dog rings, you’ll be able to tell which door your dog is at. When a 2-pack is installed on the inside and outside of the same door, you can easily pair the 2 doorbells so they’ll cross-ring each other. The second receiver can be placed at a far corner of the house or in the garage so you can hear the ringing better. A 2-pack sells for $55 with free shipping within the U.S.
The doorbells come with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. The company says they’ll replace defective parts free of charge under the warranty.
