PetSafe ScatMat Electronic Pet Training Mat, Small

My older male dog, had begun to urinate in my living room after the introduction of a new younger male into the household. I never was able to catch him doing it so correcting the behavior effectively was just not happening. I purchased a large scat mat and a large extention and placed them on either side of the coffee table leg that my dog had repeatedly urinated on. The first afternoon it was down, I noticed a few drops of urine on the mat, cleaned it up and waited. For several days no dog went near the area, then the old fella must have forgotten and revisited one more time. It has been over a week with no accidents anywhere in the house. Hurray! Hurray! A problem that I have been trying to catch and correct for several months is finally under control! I plan to leave the mats in place for a few months just to insure the lesson is reinforced if need be and the behavior does not begin again.

I really like this product and would highly recommend to anyone with a similar problem. For those of you who worry about using something intended to give a shock, this is a static shock, like when you shuffle across the carpet and then touch a doorknob. My husband forgot and three times stepped on it with his bare feet in the same night. He said that it was not painful just startling and bit unpleasant. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in the living room lately either (lol).

I cant believe how effective this mat is. one of our cats decided she owned our master bedroom and bed, to the point bad things were happening in our sleep. we tried everything, this was our second to last resort. We ordered the large version with battery only and placed it in front of our bedroom door. all it took was one step on the mat and the cats (2) will not go past the door way into the bedroom. We have had the mat for about 3 months now. The cats understand the mat has something to do with the shock, so we have to leave it out so they wont re-enter the bedroom, but it has been disabled for a month (we dont have a battery in it any more). just the presence of the mat keeps them away from the room. we tried touching the mat ourselves, thinking if the cats were going to go thru this we need to have an idea of what the effect was. it is similar to a mild static shock on the high setting. You can hold your hand on it getting 'shocked' repeatedly with only mild discomfort. I think it is more the scare factor that keeps the cats away.

Highly effective, great product

I bought the scat mat on a last ditch, exasperated hope. My headboard is wide and serves as a bookshelf, nightlight, storage cubby. My cat, Squirt*, has determined it is the perfect spot to lie waiting for his snoozing family to wake in the morning. The alarm goes off, he hops down to snuggle and in a few minutes the day begins. All is fine until the weekend comes along. No alarm on weekends. I can hear his thoughts as I try to enjoy an extra precious 30 minutes of sleep: Why are my people sleeping so long? Where is my attention? Where is my breakfast? Hellooo, hungry bored cat here! Oh look! Mini blinds right next to me!

And so the flapping of the blinds begins. First it's a subtle little thwack of metal. Then we progress to full on banging. Then it's yowling and banging. I reach over my head and grab the little furry heathen, and kindly air-lift (aka launch) him to the foot of the bed. I must have some serious half-asleep pitching skills because the cat always lands on the bed and becomes an immediate projectile right back to the headboard.

Sadly, this has been going on for years. It has taken me this long to crack. My options: continue conceding and get up early, get a new bed or maybe, just maybe, the scat mat would work. (in our home getting rid of the pet is never an option).

I started the setting on low and tested it. The shock isn't more than when you pet them in the static of winter and shock their nose or ear. I certainly wasn't willing to use something so powerful I couldn't tolerate it myself. After a test run on each of the settings I decided it was annoying but not likely painful for him at all.

The morning after the set-up was interesting. He was waiting contently at the foot of the bed. Odd, I thought, but not completely unusual. The next morning I lay there, eyes half closed and waiting. He approached the headboard from my husband's side of the bed (away from the scat mat) , jumped up, and lay next to it patiently waiting. That was the give away. He'd obviously met the mat. I checked the indicator light and it did reflect it had been triggered.

While I never saw the mat meeting incident, we've had it set up for a month now and he hasn't once thwacked the blinds. Why on earth didn't I buy this thing sooner? For less than $50 I have my weekend alarm-free sleep back! I can imagine countless applications for various pets and their behavioral schemeing. Doorways, trash cans, furniture, if you have a challenge and a little imagination, this thing can work wonders.

I just tried this earlier in the day, this is very effective. I tested this mat out on myself first with the high setting, I decided to keep the shock to medium/ low setting for my cat as she is a petite 12 lb cat. Kitty likes to hop on the counter then on the top of the fridge then on top of the cabnites near the ceiling, I don't need paw prints on my counter thank you very much, much less the germs from the litter box or walking round on the floor where I prepare food. Well to test the mat I put the setting on medium and put the mat in a doorway I prefer my cat not use, she jumped two feet in the air and ran so fast I could not help but laugh, needless to say she has not used that doorway since then. I will leave this on the kitchen counter for a few days(I'll be sure to clear the area) to ensure kitty learns to stay off the counter. I also bought the power adapter...need to teach kitty to stay of some furniture i'll be getting.
