How to keep cats & Dogs off of the furniture

[Royal Man]

I cleaned for a client that had a recurring problem with cats pissing on her furniture.

She bought one of these Scat Mats and it kept them off the couch.

It can also work to limit pets access to rooms without a gate.


It get several clients a month that ask me how to keep pets off of their furniture.

I'm going to buy a few and keep them on the truck for in-home sales.

"mild correction"

LMAO....for pet lovers I'm sure.

"mild correction"

A "mild correction" beat getting rid of your pets. Which most frustrated client want to do after it cost them at least $1000 every time the pet takes a pee.

I touched it myself and it's not that bad (and adjustable).

Anyway it only takes one correction and the pet learns to avoid it.

That is why they also sell dummy mats.

We have a freakin white LONG HAIR cat...i hate cat fur on my furniture (I don't like cats much either...but she came with the husband!) Anyways...

So here's a much cheaper and safer way to do it...

Buy a roll of the sticky lint remover sheets. Pull a couple off, or a long strip down a couch. Put them on the couch, furniture, whatever, sticky side up!! Cats especially, freakin HATE having stuff stuck to their feet.

So, one day I came home from work and the CAT had three sheets stuck on her.

First thing I did was LAUGH MY ASS OFF...then pulled them off her, and put new one's on the nice chair for a couple more months. It's been over 2 years now, no sticky sheets anymore, and she ain't been on that piece of furniture since.

Cheap and not such a "shocking" experience for the cat!! Don't know how it would work on dogs, but it just might...

I have clients ask me how to get their pets to stop _______ing on the _____. I always want to reply; You could try actually taking care of your pet. Why do you want a pet if you can’t spend time with it? OR; Well miss. I would beat the shit out of my dog/cat the first time it did that. Suggesting electroshock therapy probably would not be received more positively by a customer than the suggestions above.

Someone suggested the long clear plastic mats with the spikes on the bottom. Turn it upside down and place it on the furniture you don't want them going on.

for when they're home, they can use one of these

no, I'm not joking either .
They can be used for correcting all sorts of bad habits


..L.T.A.

he eats rubber band guns for snacks....that and large cats........

 

[truckmount girl]

If a rubber band hit an eye it could cause quite an expensive vet bill, we use spray bottle filled with water here for correction when we are home.

I would NEVER advocate shock devices for dogs or cats, whether they be mats, collars or invisible fences.

If you don't want a dog or cat on a particular piece of furniture....just train them not to go on it. Yes, it's a bit more time consuming than just shocking them or beating them, but it is much more effective long term and avoids trust and anxiety issues that develop in dogs who are corrected with pain.

Take care,

Hi there,

The only way by which you can keep your pets away from your carpets is training. Give training to your pets since you adopt you pet.

Aluminum foil, lay it across the furniture.

Pets are like kids, its not a good idea to support their behavior by still allowing them you urinate on the uph. If they cant be trained, get rid of the animal.
