PetSafe Pawz Away Indoor Pet Barrier

I have the best dog ever, but he barks his head off and destroys window blinds whenever anybody passes or stops in front of our house. I have tried regular gates and barriers in the past to keep him from accessing the front of the house, but I have family members who have trouble maneuvering a gate. On a whim, I bought PetSafe Pawz Away Indoor Barrier. The instructions were not great, but I put in the batteries, placed the unit in the front room and put on the collar. I did not expect it to work (that's why I bought from Chewy.com....great return policy). Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my dog approach the area, stop and turn around. BAM! Problem solved. I just ordered a second unit I have the best dog ever, but he barks his head off and destroys window blinds whenever anybody passes or stops in front of our house.

I had trouble with my new kitten going out the doggy door. For some reason my other cats never did use it, this one did. I used the collar on him for about a month, now he won’t go near the door at all even without it on. The barrier can’t be attached to metal, so I just set it on the ground right in front on the door then set the distance for activation to four feet. It worked like a charm. If the cat ever changes his mind and decides to try outdoor exploring again I can just put the collar back on him and the barrier back on the floor.

3 MONTH OLD GOLDEN DOODLE THAT WOULD NOT STAY IN MY HUGE KITCHEN. IT BECAME A MISERABLE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH HER EVERYDAY, UNTIL I GOT PETSAFE Pawz Away. It changed our lives. We now have happy filled days with a content puppy. It works beautifully and simple. Love it.

I have kids who are constantly coming in and out of the house to play with their friends. As much I have threshold trained my schnauzer mix I still don't 100% trust that he won't try to run out the door if he sees a squirrel. This has been an extra safe guard that gives me a little extra peace of mind. I still monitor the front door but accidents can always happen. I highly recommend doing threshold training before you use this. Also, I tried the collar on myself and it's nothing more than an annoying pinch. I highly recommend this product.

From the initial setup, keeps our very determined cat off the kitchen counters 100% of the time. He only needs to hear the warning beep ( he continues to test the boundaries) and will not enter the “zone”.

We got this for our kitten because he was constantly climbing the Christmas tree. I like that it gives warning beeps first, because he can back up now before it starts shocking. Works perfectly and he stays away from the tree even when I’ve taken the collar off for a short time to give him a break from it. He’s a 7 pound cat and the bulkiness hasn’t bothered him at all.

It was a difficult decision, but the paws away works great, I have two couch potatoe Bulldogs. Now they stay In Their dog beds.

I tried the shock on myself and it worked, so the unit was working. However, it does not work on my average length furred cat at all. The beeping occurs but no zap to my cat.

This items was bought for cats. There is not mention in the instructions that this is appropriate for them. Despite my call to the company, the electronic device not the collar looks like it is for a gorilla not a cat; I am sending it back because I just cannot put this heavy collar on my cat and then I cannot bear to think about the zap. If I had a medium size dog, I'd have no problem with this product.

We have only had ours since Feb 2018 and just started using them this past summer on a more full time basis.. they just stopped working.. batteries did nothing, it is the actual device.. and we bought two.. when they did work they were great!
