Keep Pets Off Furniture with High Tech Pet Sofa Scram Sonic Pad

S. Conrad: My one year old whoodle took one leap on this thing on the couch and that was that. She did not like that sound at all. After a year of telling her to keep off this one couch, she finally got the message. I had it laying out and then put it under a throw so that I didn't have to keep it there forever, thinking if she jumped on the throw it would beep underneath and then I could get rid of the pad and just keep the throw there. But she hasn't jumped on the couch. I took the pad away and just have the throw there now and so far so good. It's been a couple of months.

Gregory L. Mcfall: I got 2 of these when my now wife moved in with her dog. This dog wanted to be on the couch all the time but was scared of the noise they made so it worked great. A year later we got my step-daughter a puppy and she definitely has that dog in her. She does not care. She will nap with the alarm going off while the other dog hides in the closet in another room due to the scary noise. So no hate for the product. It will work with some dogs but not all of them.

JiminyC: The good: Easy to install battery, the alert is very loud, it stretches over most of my sofa.

The bad: My small dog lays on it. She's about 16 or 17 pounds and it doesn't go off with her on it. I've seen this on the petcam, she only gets on the furniture when I leave. Apparently she also doesn't mind laying on it even though not a cozy thing to be on. Therefore I'm sure my cat wouldn't set it off either. I do have a larger dog who doesn't normally try to get on the couch, he would absolutely set it off if he tried. If you press on it to test you have to press fairly hard. I would like it to be more sensitive.

In general I do think it will be useful and would recommend for medium to large dogs.

Lynda M. Mortensen: First purchased 3 of these about 5 years ago as I was temporarily fostering my step-daughters husky and did not want her on my sofas as she was used to doing at home. They all worked brilliantly to keep her off furniture, then were put away when she went back home. Skip forward 4 years and the move to a new bigger house with new furniture...in fact I now had 3 sets of sofas in 3 different rooms to try and keep clean from my two long-haired cats. Well, within 2 days of our move one of our cats had peed on the brand new basement sofa. We immediately covered all the 6 sofas in the house with waterproof plastic mattress covers, and I spent 3 days soaking the peed-on one in vinegar and cleaning it with a vacuum extractor...letting it dry and air out in the sun. We purchased Feliway spray and diffusers and the problem seemed to stop, so we gradually uncovered the main level sofas. Then we discovered problem 2: I had chosen a deep burgundy velour sofa set for the living room that was quickly taken as the preferred sofa set for the cats to lay on in the sun...it was also horrible to try to vacuum. Out came my 3 old Sofa Scrams and they quickly solved that problem. The basement sofa set...

Amazon Customer: I currently use five of these to keep train two small dogs to stay off the furniture and the results have been effective when they are place. They make a high pitched beep similar to what a home fire alarm sounds like. After attempting to get on the furniture a few times, the dogs figured out that it was not going to fly and quickly get off. We are now at the point in training (about 2 months of use) where the mats alone are enough to detract them regardless if they are on or off.

I prefer these to the other mats that we have for a number reasons. They are much larger (longer and wider), so fewer mats are required to cover the same area. It is easier to determine if the mat in on or off at a glance since the power switch is clearly labeled in contrasting colors rather than molded into the plastic housing. This mat also uses a large toggle style switch rather than a slider. This design is much more functional if you are a guy with short fingernails.

My only reason for not giving this mat 5 stars is that the sensor does not include the entire mat surface. A few inches at either end are dead zones. One of my dogs has figured this out and will sometimes lay on the edge...
