PetSafe ScatMat Indoor Training Mat for Dogs and Cats, 7 Correction Modes, Medium Size Mat (30 in X 16 in)

I love it. It took my cat 49 times to figure out that first night he didn't want on the counter. The next night 11. He hasn't been on the counter since, yay! The next counter I set up he only tried getting on it once. I highly recommend getting these to keep cats off of any counters or tables. They are so easy to set up and use.

Works well to keep both of my cats off of my kitchen island. They jumped up there once while the mat was turned on and immediately jumped off. They were not injured. As long as the mat is in place, they never jump on the kitchen island. I don't even need to turn it on at this point. I'll be ordering another for a different part of the kitchen.

We have a new young dog. He's super friendly and gentle but he does want to chew. The scat mat is saving our mattress.

These mats have been very helpful in keeping our 3 cats away from areas where we don't want them.

The items worked as advertised but once your pet figures out how to move the strip by going after the interface, you cannot reuse it for its intended purpose (in this case from scratching the door). Perhaps there should be a more scrutinized screening before placing an order.

I'm giving four stars only because I haven't had my ScatMat for long or used it much yet. It seems well designed and constructed, with sturdy battery box and snaps. I'm really impressed by the instruction booklet that came with the mat -- a well written, well illustrated, and very comprehensive pamphlet. Detailed instructions on how to set up and use the ScatMat, and on how to train your pet to avoid it. I'd never have thought of putting a turned off mat down for my cats to stroll over, so they'll learn from the zap when the mat's powered up, and am thinking of getting a smaller mat for the kitchen counters!

My placed my hands on both wire with lowest settings, and it was like a static shock during winter. My dog was spooked by the noise and never counter surf again. my only complain, is that it goes off super easy. Even if i wipe it down, sometime it still goes off and it is annoying as heck. This thing is also not great for table or counter tops, since it will slide. So will need to tape it down or something

We purchased 2 narrow strips and one large mat to deter cat from counter and from trying to go thru dog door. Large mat works well, but takes up alot of space on counter. Narrow was useless on counters as cat jumped over no matter where we put it. The narrow at the entrance/exit of the dog door didn't work because although he had to work slowly to push the magnets, he could stretch far enough not to stand on the strip. Dog stepped on the strip and now won't use the dog door. The larger mat is just getting moved around to different landing points, but the cat just relocates. He has been shocked at every shock level and just shakes his foot and jumps down. There is a delay between the sound and the shock. Cat doesn't care, but dog understands it.

The mat is very expensive for what it is. It was, however, quite effective in keeping my pups out of the area I did not want them in. I only used it a few days though because the tone, which should've only alarmed if it was stepped on, kept going off even when the pups nor I were anywhere near it, let alone stepping on it. I returned the item, and the merchant was very good about giving me a refund. I was not required to return the item, presumably because it was defective.

I'm sure that was fine. but the marketplace from Walmart sent the wrong size and I had to return it.
