PetSafe Pawz Away Instant Pet Barrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The zones work great, within the limits listed below.
Good Points
1. Has a A, B, and AB setting which lets you control individual dog access to areas or objects (such as separate food bowls for special diets, rooms, etc)
2. The shock is mild but definitely uncomfortable (I tested it on me before I used it on the dogs). It is milder than the strong static shocks I regularly get around the house.
3. The dogs quickly learn to avoid things that cause shocks.
Limits
1. Collar wear is recommended to be limited to 12 hours due to rubbing by the stud on the neck. This can be a problem with intelligent dog and schedules requiring longer wear times. Intelligent dogs can quickly learn that the collar is the source of the shock and can wait until they are not wearing it to get into the forbidden.
2. The range increments listed (2-12 ft) are not dependable. I find mine, with direct line of sight, is half that or less.
3. The six available range settings are not enough. There are times that 1 or 2 ft increment is too much.
4. Area of affect is spherical. Keep this in mind when deciding where to use them. Depending on the range setting, just walking by the counter or under the table can set them off even if all you intended was to discourage Fluffy's nose from appearing on the counter/table top. The only way to alleviate this is to find some way to dangle the zone from the ceiling to correctly limit the reaction area to those 3 ft off the floor.

Designed by professionals, this instant pet barrier system helps keep the family dog away from problem areas in the home--with no training necessary and no programming or installation required. Simply place the small, disc-like Zone transmitter in an area the dog should avoid like the trash, kitchen counter, or dining room table. Set the Zone's protection coverage area between 2 and 12 feet in diameter, then secure the included collar on the pet (fits neck sizes 5 to 21 inches). When the dog comes within the set "zone" the collar will admit a warning beep. If the dog comes closer, the collar will admit a small, electric shock. If the dog comes closer the level of stimulation will increase until the dog realizes the area is out-of-bounds. Unlike other deterrents, Zones provide completely cordless operation so they can be placed anywhere. The receiver collar will work with as many Zones as there are problem areas. One Zone comes included with additional Zones available separately, each requiring three AA batteries for operation. A replaceable 3-volt battery for the receiver collar also comes included. The 2-1/5-ounce receiver measures 1-7/8 by 1-1/6 by 1-2/7 inches, the transmitter measures 4-3/4 by 4-3/4 by 1-1/8 inches, and the system carries a limited lifetime warranty.
