PetSafe Pawz Away Extra Indoor Barrier Extra Barrier Home Proofing, Set Indoor Boundaries Static Correction Battery Operated Pet Gate Alternative, White, ZND-1000

We have tow Burmese cats, both are house cats, they have an enclosed run in the front and back yard, and are never allowed out unless supervised by us. We love our native birds, frogs, lizards and insects. The male cat has been blind siding us as we go out the back sliding door, something had to be done. I bought the PetSafe barrier, read the instructions, fitted the collar to the male, installed one unit at that door the male was blind siding us, and the other unit to the laundry door. Tested the collar and shock rate on my hand, its not that terrible. Did not take long for Mr Trouble to get his first taste of the "No Go Zone". I recommend this product to any owner who has a troublesome cat or dog, keep them away from the naughty areas in your home

If you own an obnoxious young Siamese cat like I do, you understand the frustration of demolished house plants, tracked-all-over counter tops, and strewn trash. But not anymore! To my great suprise, cats shock-collar train really well :D This device is really easy to use, though you won't be convinced after the first day. You DO have to make some adjustments to the system before it starts working the way it was designed to (zapping mr. kitty so he learns to not be into stuff!) Some little pointers you need to know when setting up your system. 1) Placement of the trasmitter (the fire alarm looking thing): be sure you understand that on the maximum distance setting (6 notches) it is only projecting a radio signal out 6 feet in any direction (a total diameter of 12 feet). So, if you set it next to your house plant, kitty is only going to stay a maximum of 6 feet away from it (which is plenty to make your plant feel more comfortable ;o) 2) Collar fit (very important!!): this system will not work AT ALL if you do not have the collar tight enough! Remember that animals have fur, and it will mat down under the collar after about an hour. My mistake was to adjust the collar to a comfortable fit, which basically left the contact prongs just floating in fur (they have to contact the animal's skin in order to correct/zap them). So, the first day I was a little frusterated when Khemos just laid all over the transmitters and never got zapped. There were a lot of warning beeps, but no response from him. The next day, I got smart and adjusted the collar to a VERY snug fit, and was sure to move the hair out from under the prongs (you should be able to get just a finger tip under the end of the prongs when fitted correctly). And that's when the product started to work.....and boy did it! :D Don't be afraid that it's too powerful for a cat though. I zapped myself when I was testing it, and where it made me drop the collar (I was not expecting the shock when I got shocked) it didn't stop my heart or "hurt" me *lol* Also note to be sure not to make kitty wear it all the time. It will eventually irritate the skin at the contact points, and there can be some hair loss. We keep Khemos locked up in 'his' bathroom at night, and put the collar back on him in the morning when he has run of the entire house. Also note that you can save the battery life on your transmitters if you turn them off when not in use. If you have a long haired cat, you may want to shave a little bit of hair under the neck when you first start using this collar. You won't have to keep kitty looking that way forever (don't worry ;o) as the collar tends to train pretty quickly. It doesn't take long before the warning beep is enough to send them running away from the transmitter. MORE HELPFUL INFORMATION 4-6-2011 Ok folks....I realize that I've already written enough about this product, but there are a couple additional pointers that will help you get the most out of this product: 1) Both prongs must be touching the skin at the same time in order to transmit a shock/"static correction". So if you're testing the collar on yourself before applying it to your pet, you will need to be touching BOTH prongs in order to experience.....well, the experience ;O) 2) If you happen to have a kitty with razor sharp hind claws, you will probably have to replace the handy-dandy collar this unit comes with (our's was scratched to smithereens within 6 months). After spending a great deal of time trying to find a replacement collar that would easily thread through the receiver's slots, the thought occurred to me that I could easily make a new collar! So I went down to our local JoAnn's Fabric store, and purchased about 18 inches of black, 3/4" wide elastic. To construct the collar, simply cut the old collar off the buckle, and thread one end of the elastic through it. Pull about 1 inch through and stitch through both layers to secure the buckle (it's easier than it sounds). I chose elastic over plain nylon web for it's stretchiness, and it's made a BIG difference (don't know why Innotek/PetSafe hasn't thought of this yet!?) The elastic gives a little making the collar MUCH easier/faster to fasten to a snug fit on a squirming cat. It also helps the prongs stay in better contact with the skin if the animal scratches the receiver out of position. Lastly, I think the little bit of give provides a more humane fit (which i know is a weird point to make about a 'shock collar' ;o)

My boxer-ridgeback is a rescue, and it's been a tough rode training him over the last few years. He has major anxiety and aggression issues through barriers, so when the mail comes or someone walks past a window, you'd think a bomb went off. I've replaced many a door knob and repainted walls far too many times. Plus, he loves getting into the garbage, or opening up kitchen cabinets and dragging everything out. Left something on the counter? Gone. I've come home to the stove turned on - just the gas - because he wanted to check out what was on top. I've been using these indoor barriers for about 3 years now and really can't go without them. Anytime I leave the house, it helps (not just helps, absolutely works) to keep him where I want him: in a room without direct access to a door/window. One of these at the end of the hallway, another in the kitchen cabinets, and he stays within his defined zone. Only one time ever has he broken through the barrier, and I was present for it. Otherwise, these things work great, and are quite humane. The shock isn't painful but it is certainly surprising - enough to be an effective deterrent. Plus the beep gives him the heads-up that he better back off or the shock is coming, which only takes 1 or 2 test runs for him to have learned and committed to memory. He will lay right up against the invisible barrier now, just far enough not to set the beep off. But he doesn't try to enter the barrier zone as far as I've seen, which is a miracle for me. Do be mindful that the barrier can travel through walls/floors, so if you're going up/down steps or outside and are still within range while your dog has the collar on, it could trigger the device. Always be mindful of that. I did have one of these die on me - the first I had bought - but that was after near daily use for three years. I had no hesitation replacing it and make sure I always have three on hand now (one backup in case one dies). So if you're considering this because all else has failed, and literally feel like you can't leave your house anymore because of your dog, this will help. Give it a shot.

El producto bueno mientras funciona. Después de unos meses dejó de funcionar de la noche a la mañana sin daño aparente. De hecho tenía el disco más chico y pasó lo mismo, pensé que este al ser más grande y caro duraría más pero no fue así. Mandé un correo al centro de soporte en México y semanas sin respuesta.
