Is this a joke? A rat trap as a training device?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 21, 2019
The snappy trainer is designed to only startle and not harm your pet. When the pet touches or bumps the snappy trainer, the large paddle swiftly lifts into the air making a loud snapping sound. The quick sound and movement of the paddle will startle the pet and discourage repeat behavior.

Back in the day it was set mouse traps with a light towel set over them. I think these need the element of mysterious surprise Will these still work if covered over w/kitchen hand towel or paper towels?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 07, 2018
The Snappy Trainer will still work if covered with a very light hand towel or paper towel.

What's to prevent the red part from hitting an animal?

Once the item "snaps", does it have to be manually reset or does it work continuously without resetting it?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 13, 2022
The Snappy Trainer requires a manual reset. After each use, ensure the clips are engaged on the trap.

Was hopeful

Well, I bought this because my dogs have started excavating giant holes in the yard. My friend told me she used traps and the dogs never it again. Well I bought

Well, I bought this because my dogs have started excavating giant holes in the yard. My friend told me she used traps and the dogs never it again. Well I bought this put it in the hole set them. The dog set them off and then went right back to digging I’mshocked that they didn’t just chew them up. This didn’t work. The spray didn’t work and I just ordered my last ditch. Hope which is a piece of plastic with spikes on it.

My Husky is a kitchen counter food thief!

These harmless snapping detergents work like a charm. And after a while I could put them out without even setting them. Necessary because our Luna has been gradually

These harmless snapping detergents work like a charm. And after a while I could put them out without even setting them. Necessary because our Luna has been gradually getting over weight and we keep losing our sandwiches!!

Useless Purchase

The most useless thing I have ever bought. I've watched a twenty pound cat stand on them and they don't go off. Maybe if you had a big clumsy dog it would be more

Useless

It never gets enough force on the exact right spot to get the old enough noise go startle the cats off something.

Didn’t help at all

Very difficult to set the trainer. Had no effect on keeping the kittens off the restricted areas

Useless product

Maybe this works for dogs,, but it was pitched to me as something that would scare my cat away from spots where he errantly urine-marks. He just peed right over

Maybe this works for dogs,, but it was pitched to me as something that would scare my cat away from spots where he errantly urine-marks. He just peed right over the top of it. And, to be honest, in real life it looks like it could actually be dangerous to any pet smaller than a medium-sized dog. Don't waster you money.

The idea of detering her from counter surfing.

Great idea, but alas, it didn't faze her one bit.

Bright and snappy

My puppy was not scared by this snapper. It just made her bark, not only when it snapped but whenever she saw it!

Non invasive feedback

Easy to set up for my counter surfer. She has set them off twice. Hasn't counter surfed since.
