The wheels often stick so that the toy just drags on both wooden floors and carpet. I looked at it, and it seems the leg & wheel pieces often wiggle into a position where they are too tight together and they just can't move. The design is clunky too and the pull string is a bit too short.
PASS on the puppy pull toy and go straight for the Frolicking Frog by the same company, Melissa & Doug. The frog is great!

This toy does not roll. You might as well tie a string to a box and drag it around the kitchen or the family room.Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Playful Puppy Pull Toy
The wheels on this toy do not turn properly, so it cannot be pulled as intended. When my daughter pulls it, she's really just dragging it along because the wheels don't roll. Very, very disappointing :(Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Playful Puppy Pull Toy
I bought this for my 18 month old son after he was dragging my work ID badge and lanyard around like a pull toy. He still likes my work ID, but this is a close runner up :). It's very sturdy and doesn't fall on its side too easily, which is great for when he takes corners. he got another pull toy as a gift that has a much narrower base, and it frustrates him a lot when it constantly falls over, so I appreciate the construction of this puppy. The string is a good length, my only complaint is that it doesn't have something easier to grab onto on the end--it has a tendency to slip out of my son's hands, since he's still working on that fine motor gripping. This is easily remedied by a little craftiness to tie the string onto a small wooden cylinder (think kite flying). overall, a great simple toy.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Melissa & Doug Playful Puppy Pull Toy
Our son loves dogs and puppies of all kinds, and he also loves pulling strings and other things. So when he was 16 months old we thought it was time for a pull toy, and definitely wanted a dog design. We saw this cute puppy in a store first, but in the end we ordered from Amazon.We can confirm others' experience that the toy has some real problems with rolling. It depends to some extent how you pull the toy and on what surface -hard floors and a not-too-steep upward angle on the string both help. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it fails. The cord is too short, probably for safety reasons, and that doesn't help with pulling either.
Our son likes the puppy, but he has never spent more than five minutes playing with it. After six months, he still likes to pull the puppy very other day for about two minutes, but that is all. So it hasn't generated hours of joy or anything.
But the worst surprise was one day when my wife was putting the puppy away to clean the carpet, and she got a nasty splinter from the bottom of the toy when she grabbed it. This is surprising because the toy does appear well-made in general. It would have been a much bigger deal if it had happened to our son.
Not impressed at all, can't recommend in good conscience.
