ScatMat Automatic Indoor Pet Training Mat

Want To Keep Your Pets Out/Off?

>

This touch-sensitive mat conditions pets to avoid prohibited areas with harmless, low-power electronic pulses. Use the mat to protect furniture, keep cats off the countertop or to block doorways.

When touched, the battery sends small pulses to the mat for three seconds. These surprising little "zaps" quickly repel most pets, even after the mat is removed.

Veterinarian approved, the mat works when all else fails. Use in conjunction with normal training techniques and surface cleaning. The safe, low-voltage battery-operated system can be used anywhere, and it runs day and night for up to six months or 10,000 activations on a single 9-volt battery. With three intensity levels (low, medium, high), the mat is suitable for any sized cat or dog. An activity sensor blinks a count showing how many times the mat has been stepped on

In addition, the mat provides silent operation as to correct unwanted behavior without disturbing other pets or people in the home. Made from clear flexible vinyl, the mat contours to surfaces and rolls for storage.

Contech SKMC411 ScatMat Automatic Indoor Pet Training Mat, Large

this sucker REALLY WORKS!!!, April 10, 2007
By A. Arnot (Denver)
We have a new dog who loves to get into everything. I bought a scat mat to keep her out of my husband's office. We placed the mat in front of the doorway. He can easily step over it. The dog only stepped on it once!! It gives a little static shock zap whenever it is stepped on. It has 3 levels, but we only have had to use the lowest level. One 9 volt battery will last a long time. Ours has been on for several months and is still going strong. It might not last as long if it is stepped on a lot. We have bought several more of these mats, and use them instead of gates. Also, my kids have discovered that you can step on them with socks or shoes and won't feel the shock.
What a great idea!!
