catherine: The media could not be loaded. I have had these for a year and they have been great keeping my dogs off the furniture. Until recently…I’ve been coming home to all 4 of these piled on the side of the couch 😂 it took him an entire year to figure it out but he did. I can’t even be mad. I’d still buy these because the work for my other dog. Of course until this one moves them all and then it’s fair game.

jayhawk: Had a puppy that kept going into laundry room and getting clothes to chew on. Put this in doorway and he learned real fast he wasn't allowed in that room. As he got taller he would bump the trash drawer and get into it. So we laid one of these on top of trash cans and again solve the problem. It does hurt to walk on so you have to remember where you put it.

Crypticmood: I’m not including a pic of dogs on the couch while these are in place because they work! Our home is home to a German Shepherd, a German Shorthaired Pointer, and a little shitzu mix demon. All 3 love to love the couch and while we could keep them off when we were around, the minute we’re out the door it was like teenagers throwing a boring party. Our couch had become the dog bed. So, when we bought a new couch, we knew we had to do something. Once these were in place it took one time for each dog to jump up on the couch to discover just how uncomfortable the hard plastic points are. So, for us, this was a good buy. Although, because the schitzu demon doesn’t shed, we still allow him up to snuggle in beside us. He just can’t do it while we’re gone now.

K of Essex: Great item, would highly recommend. I have since ordered more and can’t wait for them to arrive. They may seem pricey but in comparison to having to recover or purchase a new sofa or armchair they are value for money. They really do the job they are suppose to. When not in use they can easily slide under the sofa out of sight.

JoMUCK: Does exactly what the product advertises. Our 70 lb lab stays away from our front window. We purchased one to start and then ordered three more. Good product.

The Giz:
Against my better judgement, my wife decided to allow our cute little 10 week old puppy on all the furniture to snuggle and play. Well the cute little snuggle pup soon turned into a 65lb fur missile launching herself onto unsuspecting humans sitting on the couch at random intervals. In addition, she would use the ottomans as intermediate launch stations to gain extra lift and velocity.
Not being a fan of the electrified systems out there (just seemed a little too medieval), I opted for what I call the spike strip approach. Got several of these mats & they work great! I put them on the ottomans as a test and placed the pup's paw on them as a warning. She did not like that at all, but like all pups she has a short memory. One circus vault onto said ottoman was enough to cure her! No longer launching onto family and guests.
The spikes are not sharp enough to do any damage to her paws, but they are not comfortable! I think it is the surprise factor more than the discomfort that worked in our case. There are definitely other ways to train your dog to stay off the furniture, but if you've been a bad human, these can help you get control back...

M. Mertz: These mats work surprisingly well. My great dane is very....fastidious....in her grooming habits, leaving huge wet spots all over my couch (and anything else she lays on). This builds up an odor over time, and isn't what you want guests sitting on when they come over! However, steam cleaner rental gets expensive after a while, and then you can't use your whole couch for a day, and it's rather pointless if she keeps getting back up on the couch. These mats have been amazing. First time she tried getting up on the couch with them on it, she barked. As a very quiet dog, we thought something was up and came running, only to find her staring at the mat and growling. These are perfect! Neither dog gets on the couch anymore, and even our small, 5lb cat avoids these mats. I will say they are quite painful if you accidentally sit on them - you'll definitely notice. As she's a larger dog, we only had to cover about half of the sectional. These probably wouldn't work as well on a pleather couch, as they could slide off, but work fine on my microfiber couch. I have the back cushions that overlap the bottom cushions, so I tuck the handle portion under the back...

Peter Barrins: These do the job very well and have kept the dog off the sofa. He doesn’t even try anymore. You need three for a three seater. The only downside is the price; they’re quite expensive.
