PetSafe Pawz Away Mini Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Pet Barrier Transmitter, Extra Add-A-Barrier for Dogs and Cats

I have four dogs; two are rambunctious puppies whose territory inside the house we've had to restrict. The pucks and bars available from PetSafe work beautifully; they're lightweight and portable, but my littles give them a wide berth. We move the barriers around the house according to where we are and our ability to keep our eyes on the little scamps. The pucks work best for smaller areas, like keeping the littles from dashing behind the sofa, and the bars are better for doorways, so we use both according to our needs. The beeping is enough to urge them to take a step back; only rarely have they actually engaged the vibration, which didn't hurt them at all, just startled them unpleasantly. My waggles know that when Mommy moves the barrier, it's play time!

I have a JackChi who will dart out when someone opens the door. She will follow or take off like a crazed gray hound! I own three of these!!! We take them on vacation to Grandma’s house. My parents are a little slower moving and do not notice her behind them when they open an outside door or any door. They can tell her to stay then turn around and she is in the room before they are. No more. 5 star review for these mini barriers.My dog is a foodie and will eat more than her body weight. She can get on a chair and onto the table and eat your entire takeout bag. Now I can leave food in a bowl on the table open and she will leave it. She now respects the doors and the table even without her collar on. It only took one shock, yes one, shock and she now respects the beep. I am amazed at how well this works!!

update: no 5 stars because range is limited. i'll require two of these to cover our large kitchen table area. still on original batteries and we've had this thing for at least 6 months and the dog is constantly coming within range (ie it's not just sitting stagnant).awesome! i was reluctant since others said they experience limited battery life. Well, i bought ours well over a month ago and it's still going strong. We have a large dog that liked to lick the table and steal food when we weren't looking. This thing did the trick!performance: this thing does have a relatively small coverage area. it does not cover the entire area of our kitchen table on highest range setting. For example, if i place it in the middle of the table, the dog can still easily lick the areas at the ends of the table, so we do have to position the "puck" strategically where she is most likely to try and get at the table. As a result, i can only imagine how useless this thing is on closest range setting. i kind of wish it had stronger range on highest setting, but for our application, it works well.

I bout 3 of these. I even changed (purchased) a new transmitter and 2 collars for our underground fence so that they are compatable with these barriers. They don't even give a 1ft radius..they do nothing and my dogs still go where they shouldn't. Ive played with the chanels to see if one works better than the other in transmiitting, nope. Complete waste of money on the devices and having to change my system and collars. Zero stars.

We bought this product to keep our cat off the kitchen counters and out of a room that we didn't want him in.It works perfect and it doesn't hurt him at all. He gets the warning buzz from the coller and he stops right away.I'm very happy with this product ☺️

These things stop working within a year. Fortunately you can pay a lot of money for a new one.

I’m using it to keep my puppy out of the cat boxes. I was so pleased with the results that I purchased an additional mini unit. Puppy has only been zapped twice and now steers clear of the cat box areas. I love that you can set the distance of the barrier which allows the dog to roam freely even close to the boxes.

My cat is food obsessed and was overweight despite all my best efforts. His jumping on counters and the table to steal food was a big part of this.I had more or less accepted this as our fate, but then I got a puppy, and he started knocking things off the counter that the dog would then chew. I felt like it was only a matter of time before I left something dangerous to the dog or irreplaceable to me on the counter because I am human.He has finally stopped due to this system and lost the last 2 lbs we've been working on. He is unhappy about it and drives me a little crazy asking for food, but I will take that over him or my dog getting into something terrible and him being unhealthy from being obese.It only took a day for him to stop jumping on my table and counters, so I don't feel like he is being corrected all the time; he can be pretty stubborn and unflappable, so I was grateful something finally worked.
