scat mats?

Posted : 4/17/2006 4:35:29 PM

I'm looking to buy a used scat mat. Figured I'd check here to see if anyone had one that had served its purpose before making the 80 mile trek to the nearest petstore.

Anyone have one they are ready to sell?

The silly dog doesn't even countersurf for the good stuff.... she steals fruit and veggies off the countertops!!

Never used one myself. But was wondering what was wrong with letting her eat fruits and veggies, other than onions.
You might have to give her her own fruits and veggies..lol

There's nothing wrong with it if she asks permission! LOL. She's my little garbage disposal eating carrot peels and tomato cores and brocolli stems. [

] But she's swiped some serious groceries in the past few months and is just getting too bold (and sneaky!) at it!

Darn!

I saw your post and dug mine out of the closet (hasn't been used in 5 years), put a new battery in it...doesn't work. Rather, it works sort of but the sound doesn't go of unless you hit the area where the battery is. Sorry! I was going to just ask you to pay for shipping.

Go to the Obedience threads and check out my response to jules about the kitchen trash - you can use the same method for countersurfing, and you won't need to buy a scat mat, just a case of Cola. [

Or beer, which I would be happy to help you drink. [

ok - so I know I'm a little late to this post, but I bought a scat mat about a month ago to keep the dogs off the couch (we have som many dog bed around you wouldn't think this would be a problem!) Anyways, it works great, so long as it's on the couch - usually doens't even need to be turned on. But, once you take it off they are right back up on the couch as soon as my back is turned. Your dog make take to the training better than mine did - or hopefully it'll just be a matter of time and mine will get it too. They aren't that expensive, so I personally would recommend one.
