    Fun puppy, very noisy and clunky, but does some cool tricks. Not sure it's worth the money,
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2016*

Ok this was  hard to review.  The puppy itself is pretty cool and quite fun - for animal loving kids I reckon this would be a real winner. You need plenty of AA batteries as it rinses them! However the bone comes with the capsule type batteries already.  When first turned on, the puppy walks about and when pressing the buttons on its head will walk about to music.  We successfully got it to sit and do backflips, although it needs plenty of time and patience to get it to action what you have asked for.  The app on the ipad was easy to install and helps a bit if you want to log commands in.  The ball sticks to the dogs nose with a small magnet on the ball, and the bone charges when you put it up to the puppy's mouth, but that's about it.It is insanely noisy however, and sort for clunky, which was a disappointment to my geeky 6yr old boy who I think thought it would be much more sophisticated.  For these reasons we returned it - it simply didn't seem clever enough or responsive enough for the cost.  I wouldn't recommend at all, unless you have an utterly dog-mad child who doesn't expect too much from it. However, I have given it 4 stars as there was nothing essentially wrong with it, and the seller was really helpful about us returning it.

    Well she is happy..not sure myself
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2013*

Well this is now the 2nd dog we have received and I'm still not struck on the mechanical sounds. The first dog that was sent had some clicking noises with the ears... I was unahppy with this. We got sent a new one and the dogs ears didn't make any clicking noises... now 20minutes after my daughter has been playing we have clicking :(Maybe this is just the way this toy is designed but it is a shame that it is just a bit noisy! BEWARE that they have an IPAD app for the Teksta but NOT for the iPhone! For a couple that own two iphones and no ipad it is a little annoying!Ruby is chuffed with it and already says she loves it... and sending this one back might cause some tears so I might be holding on to see what happens!

    He and my 4 yr old love it. Key points to remember
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2014*

I've seen other reviews which seem mixed. My now 7 yr old wanted this as we can't have a real puppy. He and my 4 yr old love it. Key points to remember:1. Ears are designed so they can fall off without breaking. So if it lands funny after doing a backflip then just click them in again.2. Programming on play.com to use with texsta works fine. You have to read the instructions and I found a youtube video helpful to back them up. Remember that if you haven't pressed the correct head button to ready texsta then it won't work. You need to watch the eye patterns. It is robotic so give the poor thing a chance!Hope this helps. Both my children love it.
