PetSafe Dummy ScatMat Dog Training Mat, Large

ScatMat products work. We've got a Mini-pin and a Pug who avoid our dummy mats like the plague. It will only take your dog one experience with a powered ScatMat to get the message. Any dog will avoid the mat even when the battery dies, so dummy mats are a good and less expensive way to ban pets from other areas in your living space.

First of all, the photograph in the product description does not match the actual product at all. This dummy mat does not have a plastic control box or any visible "features" of the real ScatMat whatsoever. It's simply a piece of clear plastic you could buy for $2 at Home Depot. In fact, it's so clear you can't even see it when placed on a surface; my dogs jumped up on it immediately (and they always avoid the real ScatMat when it's on the same couch). Very misleading description and completely useless product.

Update: Be sure to check the dates of the positive reviews versus the dates of the negative reviews. I believe this product was different a few years ago.

We had a regular shocking ScatMat that was working wonders on our two young cats, but we had to keep moving it from one location to another. I was skeptical at first about the Dummy mat, but ordered two anyway to try out. The cats are just as careful around the fake mat as they are with the real thing.

Plus, as the cats learn where they are not allowed to go, the Dummy mats don't have any wires so they could potentially be cut to size for smaller table tops or counters for semi-permanent installation. I have not done this yet, but might eventually.

These worked like a charm after the dog had experience with an activated scat mat. We bought these to "block off" additional parts of the house. It is extremely rare for her to cross the boundary. We planned to switch one with the activated one if she did cross it but she hasn't even done it enough times to do that. This does not have the lines that the real one does. Seems like they could have at least drawn fake "wires" running through it, but she didn't seem to notice. By the way, I have tried just plain thick plastic from the fabric store before and it was not as effective. I guess this looks more like the real shock mat.
