High Tech Pet Sofa Scram Sonic Dog & Cat Deterrent Repellent Mat

So I was of course skeptical at first. But with knowing I could return it, what did I have to lose. We have four big dogs. They actually ruined one of our sets, I could not keep my dogs off the furniture. I mean I tried several different things…from trying to take my cushions off, trying mouse traps, then using those plastic pieces with the pokey things, NOTHING worked. Then I found these scat mats. I started out with ordering two. I put them on our long couch, they make a pretty high pitch sound. I went to work and when I came home for lunch, I could hear that high pitched sound from outside. I came in the house and the dogs were all sitting there with their ears down, like “oh no”. The same thing happened again the next day. NEVER again after that. I ended up ordering four more to cover the rest of the long couch and for the small couch. All I have to do is have the scat mats on the furniture at this point, I don’t even have to turn them on anymore. The dogs just see them and don’t even try to get on the furniture. That high sound is enough for them to stay off.

The media could not be loaded. It really works! The tone that goes off when the dog activates it is loud and shrill. My dog learned really quickly (with minimal training beforehand) to not get on the couch when the Sofa Scram is present!As you can see in the video, he hops off immediately after hearing the tone. Much better than shouting at him!🔊🐕The Sofa Scram covers most of the couch length, and all of my love seat easily. The battery is a long-lasting 9-volt.It's so great, that I own two! The dog has learned if I forget to top the couch with these electronic pads, he can get away with jumping on the couch, so I will be keeping these for the long-term.

It definitely works though not in the way I expected. We were having an issue with our kitten where he would jump up onto the bathroom counter and eat our decorative plants. We purchased the sofa scram to lay out over the whole counter. When he jumps up onto the counter he is received with a loud annoying tone. The tone doesn't scare him so much as it irritates him and he decides to jump down. Haven't seen him up on the counter since and are plants are finally safe.If you're looking to buy this product to keep your cat off your couch I can tell you without a doubt that it'll keep the cat off that area in particular but he/she will definitely sit on and scratch every exposed area of couch around it.EDIT A FEW MONTHS LATER: So heres the thing. This isnt so much an issue with the product itself as with the method. Ive been using the sofa scram for a number of months now and it was originally my intention that it'd be used for a short time and eventually the cat would stop trying to jump on my bathroom or leather couch. Unfortunately the cat will simply step anywhere that sofa scram isnt. If its a couch, the cat will be all over the arms and sides without a second thought. For a counter, the cat will find the one spot that the pad doesn't cover and just walk there. So it really depends how you define "works" with regard to this product. It doesn't, at least in my case, train the cat out of going areas you don't like. If you removed the pad for a day the cat sees that its gone and will be right back in that area.

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 of the mat, just out of range of the sensor. While this won't be issue with a larger dog or even a large cat, this annoyance can only be avoided by purchasing additional mats. For now, I can deal with this issue since it infrequent, but it may become a problem for others.

We bought this because our 75 pound pit/boxer mix insisted on sitting in a white chair to look out the front window when we were gone. I started covering it with a blanket which kept it clean but didnt keep the dog out of it. I bought one of these, folded it to size and put it in the chair. I covered it with a blanket so he wouldnt think anything was different. He jumped in it twice while I was home and he hasnt been in it again. I have put some pillow on the chair so it would be obvious if he jumped up there again. Im so confident that he isnt getting back in the chair that I have moved it to in front of the door to keep him from jumping on the door. He has stepped on it twice and I dont think he has jumped on the door since. I'm not so confident in that, that I can take it away yet. Its narrow so a big dog can easily miss it when he is jumping on the door and I want to make sure its had its effect. Highly recommended.

Actually works. Bought the competitors one and returned it. This alarm is very loud. The other brand was not pitched high enough to phase my dog. This sounds like a fire alarm.

Stopped working after 7 months of minimal use

These are really great to keep your pets off where you don't want them, i just wish the bottom side was made with something slip proof, they fall off the back of the couch, i put a small blanket over them to keep them in place
