Now there is a longer, narrower PetSafe scat matto train pets to avoid jumping on tables, sofas or chairs. Formerly the Contech ScatMatsystem, the new PetSafe plastic mat uses static electricity in 3 levels of correction plus has an on-off button. This new static mat for pet training is 12 inches wide by 60 inches long.
When your dog or cat touches the scat mat, the animal gets a mild to moderate static shock that reminds the animal this is a "no" contact area. Power is comes from one 9 volt alkaline battery, not included. The power box has the battery compartment as well as a Hi/Med/Lo/Off switch. The static charge correction occurs when two spots on the mat are touched at one time. The excess length can be rolled up. Just make sure the product is not folded or placed where the correcting surface can touch itself. There is an optional AC power adapter (not included).
