Positioning the ScatMat
®
Place your ScatMat
®
where your pet is exhibiting undesirable behavior (tables, chairs, counters etc).
Alternatively, you can use the ScatMat
®
to block your pet’s access to an area (either in a doorway or on the
fl oor in front of an object).
Doorways:
This can be the toughest job for the ScatMat
®
. If your pet tries to go around or jump over the
ScatMat
®
, you can extend the area of coverage by adding an Extension Mat.
Room in which your
pet is not allowed.
door
If training a pet not to go through an entrance, we
recommend using the door as an obstacle to slow your pet’s
progress across the mat; if the entrance does not have a
door, you can use a large object such as a box or chair. After
your pet has experienced a few exposures, you can usually
remove the object.
ScatStrips: The ScatStrip is designed for use on windowsills and the edges of countertops, but should not be
used for doorway training as it is not wide enough to prevent your pet from stepping or jumping over it.
Automobiles: The ScatMat
®
works well on automobile hoods, roofs and trunks.
Please note:
The ScatMat
®
may cause water spotting on some automobile fi nishes when
exposed to hot wet conditions. Always place a cloth underneath the ScatMat
®
when you are
using it on a vehicle.
Training Tips
If your pet is persistent, it may take a couple of weeks to achieve your goal. Treat the training as a positive
training experience with your pet. Be sure to praise it often and let the mat provide the negative reinforcement.
If however, you see your pet on the “wrong side” let it know right away.
To see how many times your pet has tried to cross the ScatMat
®
, simply touch the power pack: The Action
Indicator light will blink back the number of times it has been activated (subtract one for your touch).
You can leave the ScatMat
®
in place until your pet begins to avoid the area, or you can leave it in place
permanently; it depends on how your pet reacts to the ScatMat
®
and how motivated they are to spend
time in the area. In high traffi c areas you can switch from battery usage to the optional AC adapter. (Call
1-800-732-2677 or visit us on the web at www.petsafe.net to fi nd out where you can purchase one).
Use the appropriate power pack setting for your pet:
Low: Kittens.
Medium:
Short-haired cats and small dogs.
High:
Long-haired cats, large dogs and doorway training.
ScatMat
®
training should be used in conjunction with other training methods. We recommend consulting
your pet’s veterinarian if your older pet is exhibiting a new problem as it could be indicative of an underlying
medical condition.
