Replay TV. Notice how the remote is almost an exact copy of the TiVo Peanut? They probably figured that training the dog to eat the remote was the best way to hurt the competition.

I have always said the same thing about any chew toy that looks like the real thing, shoes newspapers and such.

Must have been designed by people haters.

Made in China, for our dogs to get sick on. Was at the supermarket with an ad for shrimp on sale. From China. No thanks.

Okay, was just reading "Inside A Dog" by Alexandra Horowitz. Dogs don't recognize or care about shapes unless trained by repetition to even notice the shapes. With a remote, they want that fantastc chewed-plastic taste, but more than that, they want your body scent in their faces, that odoriferous bit of KFC grease that you thought was not still on your fingers, the bits of salt left after you changed the channel while eating barbecue potato chips. Don't get me started on femotes handled by kids!

edit: all typos due to me typing that on my Droid 2.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

I think this is a great idea. I'm going to send one to every one of our customers that has a dog.

"sorry mr customer, manufacturer warranties do not cover dog chew. How many remotes did fido get? I will send someone out in the morning with new ones"

It's recurring revenue. :)

Yep. Guess it's inspired by the Tivo remote.

I think this fake remote will cause more dogs to chew them.....

This might be an alternative- teach them about consequences without hurting the pet-

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

It's like they took the TiVo remote, slapped a new logo on it, and called it a day.
