Keep your pet away from doorways, corners and off furniture with a mat that will train them for you.
Give your pet immediate feedback when his behavior is inappropriate or damaging. Just put the ScatMat® over the area you want your pet to avoid – a special chair, the hood or roof of your car, or a favored spot for soiling or scratching – and let the mat do the work. A mild pulse similar to static electricity emitted by electric dog fences, harmless yet surprising, will help your pet learn to avoid these areas. You can provide positive reinforcement with frequent praise.
You can even leave it in place by a doorway or entrance for continuous avoidance training. The ScatMat® features variable levels of stimulation to suit your pet’s weight, coat and paw pads. While the ScatMat® won't eliminate scratching, spraying, or making a mess, it can teach your pet to disassociate the particular location from those unwanted habits, breaking the cycle and preventing further damage to the area.
Stop being the ‘bad guy’ when it comes to keeping your pet in check – let the ScatMat® get him on the right track! When the behaviors are controlled (usually after just a couple encounters) you can remove the mat, but it's always available for periodic reinforcement.
