PetSafe ScatMat Indoor Pet Training Mat for Dogs and Cats, Curved Size 50 x 12 in

I bought one before, to keep the dog out of a room, but she learned to leap over it. So now they are on my couch to keep her off . It's working

This is my 3rd PetSafe ScatMat. I love this mats, they keep my cat out or off areas that are off limits to him. This is an amazing product !

It works but shocks you too so be careful. However im taking a zap if having dog do too. Im ok with that.

Great product that has kept our 75lb lab off our new couches. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this pet mat about a month ago. Since this mat is supposed to keep animals from going into a certain area of your house and we have a big dog that loves to go into the spare bedroom, get into stuff back there and tear stuff up; I thought this mat was an awesome idea. This mat sends like electric pulses onto your pets paws whenever they walk on it, as long as they stand on it long enough for the mat to register that they are on it. Let me start by getting the cons out of the way. The first con is that it requires a nine volt battery, so this pet mat may not get much use before the battery dies from the mat being left on all of the time. Hopefully, this product trains your pet quickly enough that you won't need to replace too many batteries for it though. This isn't a big deal though. Another con is that because this is not very wide, my animals were able to just jump right over it so it wouldn't activate and work. However... I put plastic totes on the other side of the mat so they had no choice but to stand on it long enough to activate it. The big and final con to this product is this... it tells you in the instructions for this, what intensity level to put this on (ie.. low, medium or high) depending on what type or what size of animal you have. So, if you have a small cat or like teacup size dog, you would do low, medium size cat or dog would be medium, etc... It makes it hard to use this product when you have multiple cats and dogs of different sizes. The dog I have that is the destroyer of things is a larger dog, but I also have a medium size dog and a small cat. I did not want my small cat to get hurt by the high current, but there is no way to keep her away from this and the low current had absolutely no affect on my large trouble making dog. I have been unable to think of any way to solve this problem. On the positive side, after putting the plastic totes in the way so that my dog had no choice but to feel the pulses/currents/effects of this mat.... it did it's job and my dog no longer wanted to go that way. I should be able to move the totes now, but my other 2 animals still just jump right over the mat. I think for my circumstance, i just need a mat that's height is more like a welcome mat instead of being like the width and height of a table runner. Overall, this product works.
