With the help of this indoor/outdoor pet barrier, easily teach your cat or dog which areas around your home are off-limits. This training tool is easy to use, simply place the pet barrier in the spot you’d like your best friend to avoid and secure the adjustable receiver collar around your pet’s neck. When your pet enters the pet-free zone, they will first hear a series of beeps from the receiver collar. If they do not leave the area, they will then feel a safe yet startling static correction. If your pet remains in the correction area for more than 15 seconds, the receiver collar will automatically shut off. With a little time and practice, your pet will soon learn the areas of the home they need to avoid. If you have more than one place in your home that you would like your cat or dog to stay away from, simply purchase as many additional Pawz Away Pet Barriers as desired.

Customers say
Customers appreciate the easy setup of the pet supplies. However, some find the collar component too small or bulky for a cat. They also mention that the collar breaks easily, and the shock strength and battery life are not good. There are mixed opinions on functionality, value for money, and cat protection.

Not sure why all the negative reviews
Our dogs had gotten into the habit of laying across the back edge of our sofa. It was their favorite place to be, but when we purchased a new sofa, we knew we had to try to break that habit. We already had an invisible fence system, so both dogs are familiar with shock collars and what the warning beeps mean. While this is a different system, we were optimistic that it would work for our dogs. I purchased two of the Pawz Away collars with the mini discs, the thought being that we would put one disk on the floor on either end of the sofa. I was concerned about the battery life, having read several reviews where people said they didn’t last, but I figured I’d give it a try and could always return them if it didn’t work out. I’m happy to say that it not only worked out, but it worked out even better than I had hoped. That said, there were a few things that we learned as we went along.Firstly, the collar. As I mentioned, we already use an invisible fence so our dogs already have a collar with a transmitter. I really didn’t want a second collar with another transmitter, so we ended up cutting two holes in each new collar, and moving the invisible fence transmitter onto the new collars. So now we have two transmitters on each collar.Secondly, batteries. We haven’t had a problem with the batteries. We’ve had them almost a month now, and they are still going strong. I leave the discs powered on all the time (because frankly, I was having trouble remembering to turn them on and off each morning and night) but I do turn the collars off every night when I take them off the dogs. I just keep the key nearby and it takes about 2 seconds to turn each one off. No big deal. I turn it back on again in the morning when I put the collars back on. Mind you, our dogs sleep in kennels each night, so if yours don’t you might not be able to do this. So far, I haven’t had to replace any of the batteries. I also suspect that each dog’s temperament probably has a lot to do with battery life. Both of our dogs tend to be overly cautious. It only takes one shock and you’d be hard pressed to get them to go near the area again. So while I’m a little disappointed that our dogs still won’t go near the couch (I’d love for them to sit nearby when *I’m* on the couch) I’m hoping that will come with time. If your dog is less timid, they may run the batteries out sooner with repeated tries at the spot you’re trying to keep them out of.Thirdly, disk placement. I originally placed the disk on the floor under the sofa. I turned the dial all the way down because I didn’t want the dogs getting shocked when walking behind the sofa, just on top of it. Well, this *sort of* worked. I found that they were still able to get up on the couch, and then sometimes it would shock them and sometimes it wouldn’t. What actually ended up working better was putting the disc under the bottom seat cushion. At first I was worried that doing so would mean I couldn’t sit on the sofa without accidentally pushing the buttons and adjusting the range, but that’s not the case at all. No matter how many times we’ve sat on the couch, the range hasn’t changed. Our sofa is leather and has thick cushions, so your experience might be different, depending on what material your sofa is made from and how thick your cushions are. And finally, since the dogs haven’t tried to get back on the sofa in weeks, I went ahead and moved one of the discs to another problem area: a chair on our back porch that the dogs used to climb up on to look through the kitchen window. Cute, but not so cute when their paws are muddy! I put the disk under the cushion and I did see one of our dogs try it ONCE. She hasn’t tried it since then. I haven’t seen the other dog try, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t.A few last thoughts on an already overly long review…I think our success in using this system is due in large part to the fact that, as I’ve mentioned, we already have an invisible fence. If you have one, you know that there is a lot of training involved in getting your dog to learn what the beep means, and how far they can go without getting shocked. You wouldn’t just set it up and turn the dog loose to figure it out on their own. I think the same is true with this system. There is probably a learning curve, so be patient with your pet if they aren’t used to it. Also, while the system works PERFECTLY for what we purchased it for, I read some reviews from people who were disappointed that it wasn’t keeping their pets from going through a door threshold, for example, or a dog door. I don’t think this is the product for that. It’s great if your’e trying to keep your pet from setting up camp in a particular spot (like the sofa) but if you’re trying to stop them from *moving through* an area, I think it would only be an exercise in futility. Especially if they move quickly. By the time the shock triggers, they’ve probably already moved through the area you want them to stay out of. How confusing for the pet! And lastly, I read a lot of reviews from people who had trouble with the cap falling apart after replacing the batteries. Since I haven’t had to replace the batteries yet, I’ll come back and update my review if I have the same problem.
S.K.B –
Total waste of money!
I bought two of these hoping I could use them to teach my dogs a few places I’d like them to avoid (my rose bush that they trample or trying to prevent my giant schnauzer from sampling food on the table since he is at the perfect height to do just that). I have a wireless fence system by petsafe that I use for both of them so I had high hopes that this would work just as well. I assumed it would give them a surprising shock and they would back off in surprise like they did with the fencing system that worked so wonderfully… Well obviously it did NOT work like that. I removed all other collars and shut off my other fence system. I followed all directions and I could see the collar was working but whatever shock it puts off must be a joke!! My dog was sniffing and touching the white disc so he was definitely close enough to it and he wasn’t bothered AT ALL!!! Over and over again, it wasn’t doing anything. I even raised it up on a pole to be closer to his collar level…I tried flipping it side ways, all different ways. Nothing worked. Now let me be clear. The collar was “working”. It’s not that it wasn’t working, it just must be the most pathetic shock ever. My dogs are not stubborn either, they are very sensitive to the petsafe wireless fence system I use. With those collars set on the lowest shock level possible they will run and squeal if they accidentally go out of their bounds. They learned VERY quickly with that and I was so hoping this system would be just as effective in but it’s not. I read some bad reviews but I also read some good. I thought because my dogs were sensitive to even mild shocks that this would work for me…it didn’t and I totally wasted $90 (I bought 2). I wouldn’t even give it away because it simply does not work.

Works great if I change the batteries and adjust the collar regularly, turn it off when not in use.
We have been using this for several months now and it has worked great for our cat. We use this to keep our cat from jumping on the kitchen counters, dining table, and dressers. I have followed the troubleshooting directions when it didnât seem to be working and it has fixed the problem every time. It goes through batteries quickly, especially if the transmitter is not turned off when not in use. As the batteries die the range will shorten. If it seems to be working inconsistently, it usually means the collar has become loose and needs to be readjusted. The batteries in the collar have lasted a long time. You will still hear the beeping when the collar batteries are almost dead but it stops producing a shock. Once our cat feels a shock from the collar, he stays away from the area, usually for weeks. He knows as soon as he starts hearing the beep to get away from it. Being a cat, he will eventually try again so I definitely think this is worth the money. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I feel the battery life of the transmitter is too short and for what it is the price is high, in my opinion.
Cliente de Amazon –
Funciona excelentemente bien, compre este producto por que mi perra se metia a la arena de los gatos a comersela, no habia ninguna manera de hacerla entender que no debia hacerlo y como es del tamaño de un gato tampoco habia manera de restringirle el paso a los areneros, los regaños se le olvidaban al dia siguiente, pero con este collar ahora evita esa zona, aunque cabe mencionar que sabe perfectamente cuando no trae el collar, asi que si se nos olvidara ponerselo y se queda sola lo vuelve a hacer. Lo unico que he notado es que si se acerca a la zona restringida no da un beep de aviso como se supondria o eso habia yo entendido de su funcionamiento, el beep va junto con el toque desde que entra a la zona restringida, pero de cualquier manera funciona super bien, solo hicieron falta 2 toques y no se ha vuelto a acercar a la zona desde que uso la barrera.

We have two Burmese cats, they are house cats, that is, they are not allowed to roam free in my back yard. I value my lizards, birds, frogs and spiders. The two cats have a penned run, to go outside. When we humans wnat to go outside, the male Burmese has taken it upon himself to sneak up on our blind side, one teh sliding door is open, he bolts out, hard to catch. Both of us are in our mid 70’s, not agile or streamlined in our running abilities, something had to be done. Bought the device, tested on myself as per instructions, set it up, gave the male his special collar. Zap, he dont go near that door again. Problem solved.I would recommend this product to anyone who has a troublesome animal escaping.

We have 2 cats, a Tonkinese and Bengal, this product does absolutely nothing to them, even when they’re standing right over it. The collar was tightened as tight as possible without strangling them, the units batteries are full.NOTE the unit DOES actually work, I tested it on myself and my dog, however it is not suitable for any mid length haired cats.
