Simply place the PetSafe Pet Mat in a location you would like your pets to avoid. When he touches the PetSafe Pawz Away Pet Mat, he receives a mild static shock and will quickly learn to stay away from that area. Place the mat anywhere you do not want your pet to be....on the couch, on your bed, etc.
There is never any danger of injury to your pets. The PetSafe Pawz Away Pet Mat adjusts to 3 levels of correction, all in the range of familiar static shocks. After one or two encounters, your pet will associate the corrections with the area where his mischief occurred and avoid those areas. Since the PetSafe Pawz Away Dog Mat is battery powered you can move it to other problem areas.
