Doesn’t work AT ALL

Didn’t work at all!! I bought another one to see if it was just digestive but that didn’t work either. Buyer beware!

Very happy with these. They work very well for our 6 month old puppies to keep them out of rooms where they were peeing at night. They dont even try to go in those rooms now!

[Rewarded Review] This works great!!!

It doesn't come with the collar but I purchased the collar and immediately she responded to it and I haven't had to put a gate up to keep my lab puppy out of the cat food since I put it up. Works great and worth every penny!!!!

PetSafe Pawz Away Indoor Pet Barrier, Dog and Cat

Didn't come with a collar. Store didn't carry it with a collar and if I purchased the collar alone it would have been way more expensive. Never used the product/returned to the store.

YOU HAVE TO BUY A COLLAR DEVICE

I didn't realize that I have to get a collar device, too. I am trying to decide whether to buy one or just return it.

Didn't work

We ordered, kids opened and threw boxes out. The husband and teen kids could not get it to work. We purchased different batteries thinking that was the problem and still nothing. Sending back.

Great product

The range is much better than the smaller puck. Great battery life

great way to keep dog safe

Have used these for years for three dogs. Just replaced one because I left batteries in it when not in use for two years and one leaked. Keeping the bad one because once my pup is trained It will not need to be turned on to work. I used these when we moved into our condo. workmen were carrying in furniture and I had our dog safely in the kitchen with no chance he would go past our PetSafe devices.

Product works for a short time

I wanted this to work so bad, but the quality is very poor. When I initially received the product it was very easy to use and kept the dog out of the kitchen. The problem with the product is the collar. 1st collar stopped working, so I bought another and seemed to work fine. 1 week later the collar stopped working. Just throwing good money after bad money!!

Short Lived

I really had high hopes for this product despite the reviews after our vet recommended it to deter our stubborn, strong willed, doesn’t care about the spray bottle, thrives on negative attention, she-demon of a cat (who I truly do love dearly) from destroying the sofa. Worked great for a day. Then, the collar quit consistently working. It will beep and “shock”, but intermittently. Not wanting to send her highness mixed messages, I removed the collar. (I shocked myself to make sure it was appropriate and not painful. The static really doesn’t hurt...just startles...). I will be contacting Chewy for a refund.

Worked for under 10 min

After that something shorted out in either the barrier or collar. Spend your money on something of higher quality. You won't regret it.

What a joke! No Collar to make it work!

You have some nerve charging me all that money for a unit without a receiving collar!

Not great - didn't work for big cat

This did not work at all, my cat walked right through. It would beep and the light flashed but it did not detour him. He's a big Cat so maybe it wasn't strong enough.

Love my unit! Keeps my cats out the kitchen and off my counters. My unit broke and reordering a new one. Since it’s not working my older cat has been trying to get in the kitchen again. Great item for those that struggle to keep cats off counters and kitchen area.

Our cat was VERY easy to train to avoid off-limit areas with this.

We just moved to a new house and new neighborhood and I was concerned there are too many doors that our indoor-only cat could accidentally get out of. When we'd arrive home he'd be right at the door, literally sticking his head through the opening, as you tried to enter and you'd have to try to push or hold him back. Our cat is a "big-boy" (part Maine Coon, almost 16 pounds) so the receiver collar doesn't seem too big or heavy for him. He's leash and harness-trained as well as has a large outdoor enclosure he can spend time outside in, off-leash. He can also be outside in the yard or patio with us, on his harness and a long tie-out when we're supervising. We just don't let him roam free for his own safety. He has no fear of cars or strangers. He likes and will approach everybody and doesn't understand that some humans do mean things to kitties. I'm aware that there are many instances where pets get out and get lost, (or worse) especially when their family has moved to a new home. We entertain and have family (including children) and friends over to BBQ, etc when the weather is nice. With Summer upon us, I wanted some way to help keep him away from exit doors so he didn't slip out when people were going in and out and not vigilant of where he was. Even though it says the static correction is harmless and the collar issues a beeping warning for 3 seconds, before any static correction, I was still a bit hesitant to try this on him at first. I didn't want him "scared" by it and didn't like the idea of him getting even the "lowest-level" uncomfortable correction. However, I put his leash and harness on him and let him approach it, with me able to pull him away from it as soon as it appeared that he got any correction at all. By his reactions it seemed to me that he only got the actual lowest-level "static correction" just one time. He did kind of flinch and looked a bit startled, but I'd quickly guided him back away from it. He cautiously approached it again, but then moved back away on his own, as soon he heard the beeps. I "showed" him the other barriers the same way. After that, I took off his leash and let him roam freely were by the doors so those areas were off limits. He appeared to understand exactly where he wasn't supposed to go and...that the warning "beeps" indicate an area that he should move away from. In fact, he now seems to know exactly where the invisible boundaries are, even without the collar beeping (when NOT even wearing the collar). He now stays back away from the doors. I'd expect individual training experiences and degrees of successwith this will vary depending on the pet and the situation. However, I found our cat learned extremely quickly without much undo stress or upset at all. I highly recommend it for keeping your pet safe from escaping out an open door or for teaching them to avoid any areas where you don't want them to go.

a barrier device that actually works!!

This device has helped tremendously with keeping my cats out of areas we don't want them in. For the people that are saying that it doesn't work on the pets, I recommend shaving the fur around the neck. If your pet has thick fur this can serve as a barrier for the little zap they made need to stay away from things. It took my cats one time to find out the hard way and now everyone they get near the forbidden areas, once they hear that warning beep that run the other way.

NOT FOR CATS

Don’t be a idiot like Molly who gave this one star. This is not for cats!

It really works to keep the dogs off of the furniture. I don't believe the bars accurately represent the distance but I can make it work. It's been great.

Don't waste your money

I bought this to keep the youngest cat from eating the moist food for my 2 older cats. The first day he seemed to stay away, today is the 2nd day and it has ZERO effect on him. It beeps and he walks right up to the food and eats away. If your cat is determined, it won't work at all. AT ALL!! Waste of money!

Awful product

My dogs are little sweet cavaliers, this device didn’t do anything. I wanted to keep them out of certain rooms and even at the max distance they walked right past them.
