Train Your Dog or Cat with PetSafe's ScatMat Indoor Pet Training Mat

Busyme.ca: Undecided. I cannot get these to work for the life of me. They keep shocking. When nothing is on it. Not sure why. Did contact customer service from the scat mat people. They have great customer service and replaced the two mats I bought but the new ones so it too. Why??

It seems to deter my kitty from the stove but I don’t like it activating when nothing touches it.

And my kitten is too smart as when I move the mat he knows he can walk on the surface. :(. I guess I’ll have to leave it there for a long time to condition him.

AmazonCanadianAmazonCanadian: The media could not be loaded.  Update #2 Aug2021: I contacted PetSafe directly and after exchanging a couple of emails (within hours of me writing to them) they are sending me a new mat since they determined mine is defective within the 1 year warranty! Will provide a new update when I receive the new mat.
Update Aug2021:
Only 6 months have passed and it has stopped working. The red light comes on but it no longer does anything. It has been rendered useless.
I am so disappointed because it worked so well and now my dog has already figured out that it doesn’t shock her anymore. :(

Feb 2021: Finally something that keeps my pup off the mantle! She loves to watch TV but it is so hard to keep her off the mantle and therefore jumping at the TV. I have tried so many so many things and nothing has worked. THIS DOES! I only have to use the low setting! It bugs her but doesn’t seem to hurt her.

Jess: Tengo 3 gatos en casa que comenzaron a darme problemas en mis sillones. Probé de todo: diversos líquidos bloqueadores, cajas encima, etc...No quería verme extrema y utilizar este tipo de productos, pero ya estaba cansada de no ver resultados. Mis gatos no se han vuelto a subir a mi sillón y estoy muy contenta. Si no tuvieran un precio tan alto, llenaría todos mis muebles de tapetes. Utiliza una pila D, pero dura mucho tiempo en función. Altamente recomendado.

CART4L: This ACTUALLY works! I was skeptical at first as some reviewers said their mats weren’t functioning properly (which is somewhat true as our mat takes a few attempts to work); however, majority of the time it is working well. Our 2 Ragdoll cats were super curious about this mat when we first took it out and stepped on it... They quickly realized that it was the mat to avoid! Our female cat used to scratch our bedroom door early in the morning and would always wake us up. It was getting super annoying as we were hardly getting any sleep at night, so I had to find a solution. Once this mat was placed in front of our door, she hasn’t scratched it at all!!! It’s kind of funny to see our cats avoid/smell around the bedroom door to make sure the mat isn’t there LOL. We love our kitties and of course we feel bad about shocking them, but the shock really isn’t that bad! We shock them by accident when we pet them after they roll over our carpets, so it is the same type of shock they get from this mat. Harmless, but enough to keep them away from problem areas.

BUY THIS NOW!!! Totally worth it and so glad we got this!

Yoliztli FS: El tapete funciona muy bien para evitar que mis gatos se suban al mostrador de la cocina ya sea en la noche o cuando no estoy. Lo pongo cada día en el modo más bajo y me ha funcionado muy bien. Si lo compran no olviden comprar la batería.

Kristen F.: UPDATE 9/24/19
So I've been using these shock mats for years now and have 3 of varying sizes. At the time of the original review, I just tried putting the mat in the doorway with an open door. Cats can easily jump over that. I feel like the delay is shorter now though because it shocks almost instantly.

So for a while I had a cat peeing on the kitchen counters. These worked great to keep him off the counter and thus eliminate the problem. I also used one on top of the fridge for the same reason though not sure how safe that is. After they get shocked a time or two they learn not to go near the mat so just having it there even being off would usually work. Some cats do learn to tell when it's off though and that happened too.

Fast forward to now, after having used the mats for a while we moved to a new house and no longer had counter peeing issues so we hadnt used the mats in a while. However, we have carpet leading up to the bedroom door and keep it closed at night and one particular cat goes completely insane clawing the carpet, the door, and screaming all night right outside the door. Decided to use the shock mats again.

I put the shock mat down in front...

Constance L. Timmons: I have had a lot of luck with the Scat Mat. I have a black lab that has numerous opportunities and desires for getting into trouble. None of the dogs are allowed on the couch, but he was climbing up there every night. I guess he thought if he got off before we got up, he was in the clear. But I had to vacuum off dog hair the next day. He's not as smart as he thinks he is. Also, he constantly gets into the kitchen trash can. I have another small dog who likes getting on the top of the couch for an afternoon snooze. I have been putting the scat mat on the couch at night to keep Tucker off. During the day while we're gone, I put it on the top of the couch to keep the little one off (Tucker is in a kennel during the day). And when we're home, but out of the kitchen, the scat mat lays over the trash can. For Christmas, I laid it across the tree skirt & Christmas presents. It has worked very well. One morning, we found the scat mat crumpled up and flung across the room, and we had heard a yelp during the night. We figure the chew monster had grabbed it by the controller and pulled it off the couch, and in the process touched the shock area. I don't think he's going to touch it...
