With this training mat you can quickly and safely teach your cat or dog off limits areas in your home. Place the mat on your kitchen counter, on the sofa, or in front of the Christmas tree to keep curious pets away. The mat uses a battery-operated controller featuring an LCD display. The LCD display shows the battery level, correction level and a counter so you can see how many times your pet steps on the mat. It's easy to adjust the correction level of the training mat depending on your pet's needs. The 7 correction modes allow you to set the correction to tone only, 3 levels of static only or 3 levels of static plus tone. The mat has a safety timeout feature, so if your pet keeps their paws on the mat for more than 8 seconds, the mat will stop correcting your pet before repeating the cycle. The ScatMat training mat is available in 5 different sizes so you can choose the best size for the area in your home you want to protect.
