ScatMat emits a mild, harmless static pulse when your pet touches it. Pets soon learn which parts of your home they should avoid. With three intensity levels, ScatMat works for any size cat or dog. The vet approved Scat Mat works when all else fails. Used in conjunction with your normal training techniques, and surface cleaning (as appropriate for elimination behavior changes) the Scat Mat will help you restore harmony to your household. Habituated behavior patterns are often correctable through simple avoidance of problem spots. When positioned where pet feet will be just before an unwanted behavior is exhibited (i.e.: scratching, soiling, etc.), the Scat Mat sends a strong message to the pet while it is 'thinking' about performing an undesirable act. Most pets quickly associate this unpleasant experience with the location. To avoid similar static sensations they begin to avoid the area. Other reasons why Scat Mat works: Training is consistent at the location, 24 hours a day. It is the environment rather than an owner doing the 'conditioning'. The static sensations generated are sufficiently surprising and unpleasant. These sensations communicate an immediate 'Leave now' message. We offer the Scat Mat in the large size which covers a 30" x 16" area. We recommend using this large size to cover the area where the pet stands, sits, or lies before misbehaving. The Scat Mat consists of a vinyl mat with embedded wire, and a battery pack. No assembly required.
