Electronic Pet Training Mat Review

The Electronic Pet Training Mat works using a simple circuit which is completed when your pet puts any pressure on the surface of the mat. Once the circuit is complete, a short low energy shock runs across the surface of the map. This unexpected response from the mat is enough to send most pets safely on their way.

Now, it’s important to realize that this mat is pet safe and that the jolt is not enough to harm your pet. The jolt works more as an unexpected response.

Perhaps you’ve noticed your pet jump onto a sofa where a newspaper was laid out. Often the crinkling of the paper is enough of an unexpected result to send the animal quickly on their way. The Pet Training Mat works in much the same way. The only difference is that the response is a little stronger so that they never truly become acclimated.

For additional peace of mind, the mat operates on a 9v battery so the threshold for a charge is very low. In fact, it’s similar to a static shock you might give or receive during the winter time.
