Do the puppies actually walk on their own?

Yes. Each puppy has a motorized walking motion once switched on. They move in a simple pattern rather than steering around obstacles.

Are batteries included?

Usually not. Check the listing for the required battery type and count before buying, since two toys means two sets.

It is aimed at young children, but the plastic body and small parts mean it is best for kids past the mouthing stage and with adult supervision.

It is simpler and cheaper in feel. A plush interactive pet responds to touch and has more modes; this set only walks and makes sound.

The sound is tied to the walking action, so switching the toy off stops both. There is no separate mute control.
