[Einsteins Circuitry]

Because than you would get led poisoning from just changing the channel! :( Not really but still. Oh and nice Instructable.

[dombeef]

[fortneja]

Perfect! I was looking for a way to squish fairies! This will do nicely.

I happen to have that exact remote for my television [=

[dombeef]

Me too

[Bongmaster]

pee on the dog :D (personally i wouldn't, but it might work :D ) I'm kidding really :)

[ReCreate]

you could do it to the remote,to claim it...

[Lftndbt]

That's just scary! LoL

[robots199]

I had a limited edition 4 foot long TV remote and amazingly, I lost it.

[Rokko8652]

..............WHAT!!?!?!?! thats funny, lol, really funny....

[boognishmofo]

I had this problem last night. He is mighty mutt though. He dragged a 50# bag of mortar across the back yard last week and last month it was a heavy duty marine battery weighs more than the mortar. He likes to remind me every now and then that it is his back yard.

Why not stick a piece of concrete, tile or slate to the dog?

[Stercus Fit]

FYI: The same remote can be gotten at Walgreens for $9.99. I love mine. :) I don't have a dog (poo college apartments) but couldn't you also just put velcro on the back and stick it on the wall where the dog can't reach it? (ie: the same thing you did, sans the weight and sticking it to the wall instead of the table).

[joelsprayberry]

awe man, yours was cheaper :-( velcro it to the wall....... yes, but then that wouldn't have been funny.

[crapflinger]

yeah...and when anyone else in the house get's tired of lugging the slate around...they'll just pull the remote off since it's just held there with velcro....thereby defeating the purpose....plus...what if you drop it on your foot? or heaven forbid you say "hey....throw me the remote" and it lands in your lap

[James (pseudo-geek)]

oooooooo I see your ponit here......

[joelsprayberry]

good point. or what about the "angry at the NFL" remote throw?

[thermoelectric]

Haha, try explaining that when you take your TV in because it was under warranty. LOL!

[Hoyt]

I just bought the exact same remote. Jimminy, that sucker's big. Even without the slate, this remote is still so big that the dog or anybody else would have a hard time sneaking off with it.

[saites2001]

You could put that basic psychology class to good use and give the dog a "taste aversion" to the remote control. That would certainly stop him from chewing on it.

[joelsprayberry]

i like my remote to smell like cheetos.
