I don’t want my title to come across as insensitive. HOWEVER, I am so happy this actually works! I have 2 cats, my girl is a sweet little tuxedo who sometimes wants to cuddle but for the most part just makes biscuits on my belly and then lays around me, you know very laid back, very aware of my boundaries, very demure. Then there’s my boy….. and don’t get me wrong, he is the most sweetest cat ever I call him my little snuggle bug. But he is so rambunctious and definitely a free spirit and that is okay with me. They each have free roam of the entire house except the kitchen counters. I even made my back patio into a “catio” he loves spending hours back there and recently his sister joined him and loves to go outside as well she used to be afraid. They have multiple cat trees including one close to the kitchen so they can see everything (open concept design). We free feed so he always has food in his bowl and water, he doesn’t even like human food and yet he would always hop on up. No matter how many times I redirected him during the day he would always get back up. I know someone is going to say “well you have a lot on your counters” nope, I make sure to keep them clear of anything that would make him get up there I just so happened to be lazy tonight and didn’t put the dishes up right away that were in the drying rack. I tried spraying with water whenever I could catch him in the act, nothing worked. He just learned to get up there when I wasn’t around and sometimes when I was around he’d just hop up there anyway. I seen this product when he was much younger he’s about to be one but I didn’t want to waste money due to the mixed reviews but I finally caved bc I was tired of finding white fur and paw prints on my stove top not to mention how unsafe it is for him if the stove was still hot and he got up there. Tonight was the first night I put it up across my stovetop and half the counter that I know he walks across. I got the long couch one for this reason and I have another on the way that I will be placing in the red circle. I drew a circle around the part he uses to jump up, so he jumps up from there then walks over to the stove. Which leads to the video. So I put it closer to the edge bc I observed over time that he prefers to walk along the edge. I almost thought he out smarted me when I got the camera notification and seen he walked around the mat. Now as you can see he initially is hesitant and puts a paw on the mat and is met with just the beeping. When I seen that I was ready to be disappointed until he turned and walked further down and put all 4 paws down. That’s when he felt the static. So it’s safe to say the other reviews were right about there needing to be a good amount of pressure for it to actually work. However since I have a child I appreciate it not going straight into zap mode. It’s only day 1 but I feel like we have a winner. The other mat is on the way and is smaller it will be placed where you see the red circle which is again for some reason the spot he prefers to jump up on to get on the counter. I am hoping these last and that he really gets the memo to stop counter surfing to the point where I can remove them and he no longer gets the urge to do it. But so far so good! If you’re on the fence about it I definitely say do it. It’s very easy to set up, just put the battery in then secure the battery pack to the mat turn it on and adjust the settings. I will be back with an update after about a week to let you guys know more. UPDATE: My initial review was in July, it is now September. Funny how time flies haha if you have made it this far down my review I just want to say we have a winner! In order for this to really work you have to be consistent. Consistency is key! It may not look very appeasing to the eye but this beats cat fur being everywhere when it’s time to cook. I mention the obvious, cats are highly intelligent. I talk to my cats and they understand me. I tell him “I am putting this mat up here for your own good, do not jump up here or it won’t be pleasant”. Seriously, I let him know the first few days. He caught on quickly and stopped getting up there. I got too comfortable one day and didn’t put it down after the stove cooled off and he took that as his sign to jump back up there. After that happened I just made sure to stay consistent. It’s been 2 months now & no more counter surfing & I know this to be true because he is literally under 24 hour surveillance. He understands the cause and effect and he knows that I am the reason hence why I made it known it was me who put it there so now he knows “hey mommy doesn’t want me to go up there so I’m going to respect her boundaries”. Anyway long story short, get this right now.

This works. My dog would get up on the couch overnight, no matter how close her bed was or how many times she was told off. We bought a new lighter coloured couch and we had to do something more to stop her. I bought 2 mats to cover the whole couch but didn’t really need a 2nd one because she made ONE attempt and tried just once more the next night, and then never again. I love my girl and don’t want to hurt her, so we made sure we read the instructions properly and didn’t have it turned up high. I’d recommend these for quick results. She seems to have forgotten that the couch was ever an option.

Simple, effective, not cruel. I used this in my kitchen in front of my sink and counter. I have a very tall, very big (makes danes look short) ignorant dog that figured out he was tall enough to pillage and plunder my upper cabinets full of food. Also steals my kitchen sink plugs for some insane reason. So, my kitchen is a U Shape. I laid the mat on the floor 2 feet from my sink. Basically creating a no go zone. Because the mat has a shock counter on it, i know day 1 he hit that thing 4x. Day 2 he hit it 2x. Day 3 nothing. Day 4 1x. Nothing since. He's figured out thats a no zone. The mat has 4 settings. Chime only, low, med, high zap. I only have it on chime now and he's still not having anything to do with the mat or my kitchen cupboards/sink plugs. The highest setting more startles you in bare feet than it does actually shock. Like a static zap. Not anywhere near as powerful as a shock collar but the pads on dog feet are sensitive enough that it's very effective. I would definitely say safe enough for cats as we have one of those too and he's not going in the no zone either. 100% recommend for an easy, safe, effective way to train your pet to stay out of an area, off a couch, or like my other dog, getting close enough to the tv to knock it off the stand.

Need to remember they’re on the floor as it’s not a pleasant feeling when stood on but sure keeps pets away from areas they’re not allowed
