Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Well I was afraid of getting this, I purchased this for my indoor cat, who developed a bad habit of taking a dump in the sink when nobody is around to stop him. I tried all sorts of deterrents before deciding on this (because I was against shock collars). Here are the methods I tried.
#1. Tattle Tale: worked well but was VERY annoying. Any visitors would bump into it and set it off and it was very loud.
#2. Ssscat: Worked well but only if you remembered to turn it on, we constantly turned it on and off between using the sink for our own purposes and it does release an initial bust of air for no reason which scared our cats because they thought they were doing something bad. Our cat quickly learned to identify this item so we had to camouflage it and hide it inside random counter items so he wouldn't just recognize it, and somehow even if he did recognize it he still went ahead and took the change because sometimes somebody would forget to turn it on and so he would get away with his business.
Now finally we have this item. Before purchasing I did as much research as I could for this item, something not too strong and with a small radius for shocking so it could be reserved for just the area that is off limits. So I decided on this item.
Upon arrival I tried it on myself to ensure that ths was not going to be too painful. It continuously gives you a mild shock (about as strong as carpet shock or a sweater static shock you would normally get) I set it to the smallest shock radius (2 feet diameter, 1 ft radius) and placed it on my cat.
I am pretty confident that it has been working. It has now been over a month and he has not used the sink for relief (he used to go maybe 1 x week)
If I had a large dog I would probably rate this 5 stars and I know it wasn't designed for small dogs and cats but that is the reason I gave it a 4 star.
I cut the collar small enough to fit my cat, but the strap is not tight enough and after two days my cat was able to scratch it off himself so I had to replace the strap with a 3/4" double sided velcro collar and that one holds on well. It even looks much better than the original blue collar as well.
I will update this in the future if my cat decides he doesn't agree with this review :)

Train your dog or cat to stay away from specific off-limits areas inside your home, such as the sofa in the family room, your bed, or the kitchen trash can. The PetSafe Indoor Radio Fence emits a radio signal through walls and floors at a range of 2 to 20 feet. When your pet's receiver collar strays into an area you've marked as off limits, it receives a warning tone and a mild stimulation that reminds it to move away. Use the Indoor Radio Fence with as many pets as you like, provided each pet is wearing its own receiver collar. Receiver collars sold separately. If you already own a PetSafe outdoor in-ground fence, the same receiver collars work with the Indoor Radio Fence.
