4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Product - But things you should know before buying,
This review is from: PetSafe Pawz Away Instant Pet Barrier (Misc.)
The zones work great, within the limits listed below.Good Points 1. Has a A, B, and AB setting which lets you control individual dog access to areas or objects (such as separate food bowls for special diets, rooms, etc) 2. The shock is mild but definitely uncomfortable (I tested it on me before I used it on the dogs). It is milder than the strong static shocks I regularly get around the house. 3. The dogs quickly learn to avoid things that cause shocks. Limits 1. Collar wear is recommended to be limited to 12 hours due to rubbing by the stud on the neck. This can be a problem with intelligent dog and schedules requiring longer wear times. Intelligent dogs can quickly learn that the collar is the source of the shock and can wait until they are not wearing it to get into the forbidden. 2. The range increments listed (2-12 ft) are not dependable. I find mine, with direct line of sight, is half that or less. 3. The six available range settings are not enough. There are times that 1 or 2 ft increment is too much. 4. Area of affect is spherical. Keep this in mind when deciding where to use them. Depending on the range setting, just walking by the counter or under the table can set them off even if all you intended was to discourage Fluffy's nose from appearing on the counter/table top. The only way to alleviate this is to find some way to dangle the zone from the ceiling to correctly limit the reaction area to those 3 ft off the floor.

inconspicuous and effective training device,
By Rubydou "Rubydou" (Memphis Tn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PetSafe Pawz Away Instant Pet Barrier (Misc.)
very inconspicuous but very effective training device...has kept an 80 pound lab mix and 65 pound shepherd mix from running and jumping onto an antique glass entry door!(they've been doing this for years) Works like a charm and love the fact that you don't need any plugs, cords and can use multiple collars at one time. It is nice to know that I may move this to any other area in my home without complications and begin training there!

This review is from: PetSafe Pawz Away Instant Pet Barrier (Misc.)
My dog, chihuahua, is so resilent to correction. You can tell him something a million times, spray him, watch him, stare him down, he just doesn't get it. So we put this in the living room where we don't want him on the couches, we used a leash to show him what to do.We put the collar on, we tested the distance/perimeter with the collar, not on the dog. It beeps first, so that's their warning. We put the collar and a leash on the dog, and let him walk over to the couch, he heard the beep, and we moved him away so that he learns where to go. He didn't get it the first time, but got it everytime after that, now he runs when he hears the beep. One problem though, when we put it in the doorway to our room, if he gets too excited he can actually run right through it and he doesn't get bothered by it at all, no shock no beep. But that's cause he's running, he doesn't usually run into a room. PLus he has associated the beep and shock with the sensor, so when he sees the sensor he avoids the area in its entirety. I only wish I could use it with my cat!! That would be great.
