How it works - product tab

Nature Inspired
Our product was designed with the rules of nature in mind. All animals seek the path of least resistance.  They would rather lay, walk and forage on soft ground rather than a rocky surface.  They will choose a trail rather than break their own across the sticks and logs of the forest floor or a steep slope. Through trial and error and evolutionary development our furry friends have learned to avoid the brush, cactus, swamps and scree and other daily discomforts with no treats dropped from Heaven or other "positive reinforcement" only the goal to find comfort and the path of least resistance.

The Paws off Pet Mat was created to use the same time tested decision making process to teach your pet, all on its own, to avoid the discomfort provided by our Pet Mat without the use of shocks, buzzers, sprays, scents, sharp edges, nails, knives, flames or "pointy things" of any kind.

Uniquely Designed Modular Tiles
The uniquely designed modular tiles simply clip together to create a passive, no maintenance mat to fit any size pet and any size area.

The mat simply creates a less comfortable space for your pet, encouraging them to seek more comfort elsewhere. Should they decide to stand on the mat for any length of time, the uneven surface continues to re-focus their attention to their paws while their brain reminds them to back off the Mat to a more comfortable location.

Moving off the Mat is a positive experience which reinforces the learning process. In time, like in nature, your pet will learn to avoid the mat thus eliminating the opportunity for them to paw, claw and chew on the expensive elements of your home or jump the fence, whether you're home or not!

However, the Paws Off Pet Mat is easy for anyone in your family to traverse even in bare feet.  If the time comes to suspend the Mats effectiveness, one can simply overlay the Paws Off Pet Mat with their favorite door mat until such time as the deterrent is once again required.

Effectiveness
Our testing has shown for most pets, it's a quick decision. For about 2% of pets, the deterrence our Mat provides may not create an immediate impact on your pet's behavior requiring more time to experience the Mat. This is a good time to make sure your Paws Off Pet Mat is the proper size and placed with the correct orientation.

Don't rush to judgement - evolution is at work! We want you and your pet to have success. Our goal is to help you create a safer environment for your home while eliminating damage to your home.
