Questions & Answers

Do dogs bite countertops if they're kept off of them with this method?

Wow, how does your dog get on top of so many

What would be the best way to keep a cat from scratching the sofa if you draped this over the arm of the couch?

I'm not sure that would work, since it appears to be the weight of the pet that triggers the alarm the alarm starts to sound as soon as they step on it. It is unlikely that just scratching would trigger the Though I could place it underneath the end of the sofa so that the cat would have to step on it to get to the scratching post, I think you could place the scratching post on the floor beneath the end of the sofa. The only thing you should do is not step on it yourself, as you will be startled. Hope you have a good day

Can you tell me how big this mat is?

Thank you for your patience. A mat measuring approximately 11" by 57 3/4" could be found here.

What is the sound like to humans? Is it loud or piercing?

It is moderately loud, but does not pierce the human ear

It has a charm to it
5/5

My 90 lb. black dog, who is extremely alert and ridiculously helpful, lets me know when a car passes by or a butterfly passes gas in Bolivia. A dog called Humphrey barks hysterically and lunges onto the furniture when he is alerted. As much as I appreciate his efforts, I have tried everything in my power to keep him off and protect my furniture - It doesn't matter what you use to train your animal, whether it's rewards, slip covers or those spiky scat mats. It was crucial that I get him something that would keep him off for good. The first thing that came to mind were the scat mats that provide a mild shock. But since Humphrey is so helpful, I knew I couldn't do that. Although I had read good reviews, I was very skeptical given our track record. The mats arrived yesterday and I am very pleased. Since I can't lie, I will say this- There is no fashion statement associated with them. You won't be able to use these mats if you're searching for something that is invisible. These pet safety products will not be a stylish addition to your furniture, but they do the job and do not hurt animals. Within minutes of receiving the mats, I had them on the ground. A bumble bee lit on a bush at the foot of the bay window in my living room within seconds, and Humphrey hopped on the chair covered by the mat to alert I also have one on the couch who has never approached the furniture since the mat beeped (he immediately jumped off when it beeped). It is amazing how well these work for a dog that is extremely reactive. This is a fantastic product!.

Worked like a charm! After six months, here is the update We're having a lot of fun with the sofa scram! Having them on all the time means we can live without having to turn them on every night
5/5

I won't let my dog near the sofas so long as they are on them. My life has been saved because of this! Dogs matter to me, but I'm not really a fan of dogs in general A sofa that smells good! There has never been a product I like more than this! The leather furniture we used to have wouldn't let our dog get on the sofa, and we used to let him rest whenever he wanted. However, we recently changed to upholstered furniture, and I don't want the sofa to smell like dogs. Home is where we spend most of our time On the other hand, he stays away. Despite this, he claims the sofa is his seat when we are out. It worked like a charm when I set up the Sofa Scram yesterday! The couch was not occupied by him! All throw pillows were in the same condition as when There was only one problem - I bought only one Sofa Scram He moved from the love seat to the couch. Then I decided to buy two more to go with the love seat and chair ottoman. We are so excited to be able to do The update is My first two are working great! And I have ordered two more! We have been away from home for about two weeks now, so I have been using them on my sofas, love seats, and side chairs. It's been a while since my dog was on them.

I really wanted this to work out
3/5

I have been having a problem with my cat. I really wanted this to work out. This was set up in our guest room because my cat has been peeing on our bed, so we hope it will prevent this from happening in the future. The mat was soaked in poo and I walked in this morning to find a large pile of it in the middle. I hate it.

Save your money and don't waste it The two of them were able to stay off my sofa thanks to it
3/5

In spite of its success, it ceased to work I just bought a roll of carpet protector with the nubs on the bottom, clear plastic that could have been used. This will keep our pets from getting on our furniture and counters if you place it on your sofa with the nubs facing down.

It is definitely worth the price! I figured we would get a second one for our beds since it worked so well
5/5

It is perfect for my couch, and I bought it. The dog still jumps up on the couch to bark at anything that moves out the window, but once she hears the loud constant beep, there is not much time for her to decide to get Her previous sleeping arrangement was on the couch (and she sheds horribly) but her sleep is now off the couch as long as she has the mat set out. There are times when I do not turn it on because my 2 year old will often ask to sit on the couch when she gets home, and she hates it enough that she stays away, even when I turn it off when she is home. The mat is what's keeping her off because as soon as I forget to lay it out before bed, she uses the love seat to curl up immediately after we get done in the living room (don't feel sorry for her, she has the whole thing It will be enough to warn you that the noise isn't If they step on it, you can hear it immediately. You cannot ignore it because it is consistent For me, listening to 3 seconds of that for a couple of minutes a day is worth it to be able to own my own couch again.

Worked like a charm! I'm excited to try this! The microfiber couch on my couch is made of microfiber and my two dogs are smallish
5/5

Combining the two is not a good idea. The dogs never get on the couch when I am home, but when I go out, I find evidence that they did. I found a lot of hair stuck to the microfiber, rawhide slobber, and dog vomit finally drove me over the edge. The only thing I could think of was to cover my nice couch with bedsheets, which didn't I had to wash them weekly because the dogs got on them even after I washed them every week. Every time I left the house, I put chairs or other things on the couch, but that was a hassle, and the first time I forgot, the dogs took their seats again. My wife and I ordered two of these products and placed them on the couch, covered by two quilts. As soon as I got home, I found a small amount of dog fur on the couch and the bedsheet had been bunched up as if someone had leaped off. They stared at me closely as I turned off the lights and sat down on the couch. I looked guilty as I approached the couch. It has been a week since they were last on the couch. It is likely that they have tried again a few It still still makes me laugh that they look expectantly at me and the couch every time I sit on the.

I received a defective product for the second time
3/5

It didn't There is literally no way to do this. The reason I bought one was that my dog sitters taught my dog to jump on the couch (needless to say, they no longer dog sit). We couldn't get it to In order to reassure myself it was not a bad battery, I purchased brand new batteries. I still wasn't able to use it. After returning the item (it was the same product, but I'm not sure if it was purchased from the same seller), I was not given the option to exchange it. When I'm away from the house, the dog still gets on the couch, so I bought As well, this one does not work. We tried three different batteries, all new (from the last one that did not work), as well as having my husband try it to ensure there was nothing wrong with the machine. Unfortunately, it doesn't work any more. A very expensive white dog bed and a lot of 9V batteries later, I have both acquired much wealth. I won't buy one again.

The experience almost feels like a robbery to me
5/5

The experience almost feels like a robbery to me. It was impossible for me to keep the dog off my couch since I live in a one bedroom apartment. Three weeks ago, she jumped on this thing ONE time. For the past three weeks, she hasn't touched it. That is a serious statement. Haha, I thought it was hilarious! This was a perfect purchase as it made my couch my couch again and I was able to keep her in her little bed.
