Protect bigger areas at little extra cost

Pets learn to avoid this mat on sight
The Sureguard ssScat Mat is a pet training device used to make problem areas off-limits. It is suitable for cats, kittens, dogs and puppies.
It's incredibly versatile and can be used to quickly correct all sorts of behavioural problems, even when you're not around.
You are ordering the non-active Dummy Mat on this page. You need to purchase an Active Mat in order to use the Dummy Mat.
Problems with pets in the wrong places?
Simply place the Sureguard ssScat Mat either on the problem area, next to that area or use the mat to create a barrier to that room.
Example: The image shows how large areas can be "fenced" economically using Dummy Mats.
The Sureguard ssScat Mat comes in two versions:
- Active Mat. This mat will correct your pet if it stands on it. see Active Mat here.
- Non-Active Mat (this product page). Your pet will avoid this non-powered mat on sight provided your pet remembers the active mat.
How many to buy depends on the problem you are trying to correct. Obviously, you need at least one active mat for training. Dummy Mats are convenient and very economical so you can substitute these once your pet learns the avoidance of the active mat.
Mats can be placed side-by-side to create either longer or deeper barriers. If your pet discovers that jumping the mat avoids correction, then place two mats together to create a deeper barrier that can't be jumped. (Mat Size: 1210mm x 440mm)
In some situations, we recommend you only use active mats. For example, if your pet is jumping onto a table or kitchen counter-top, your pet can't see the mat so the Dummy Mat wouldn't be appropriate. Dummy Mats work by sight avoidance. Also, if the risk of crossing the barrier to great, for example, you're creating a barrier to restrict access to a balcony, then only use active mats.
Dummy mats work very well and the avoidance behaviour can last for months but your pet may one day simply forget and discover the Dummy Mat is non-active. If that should occur you must substitute the active mat until your pet learns to respect the mats again.
So, how many should you order? At least one active mat and one dummy mat. You may find you use the Dummy Mats extensively, which is why we have a very economical House Pack which includes an active mat and several Dummy Mats.

All Reviews 5 / 5 {'1': 0, '2': 1, '3': 0, '4': 0, '5': 4}Reviewed byB Walford00Mat solved dog problem.I recently purchased a mat which stops dogs etc from crossing. It worked perfectly as described and has completely solved my Daughters dog problem. They no longer race to the front door to escape which is a big relief. ThanksRead More9 years agoReviewed byMelinda Hartman00Scat MatIt worked for a couple of months and then it stopped working . Changing batteries didn’t help [EDITOR: The electronics is very reliable and if it were to fail would be covered under warranty. To be noted: the mat requires periodic cleaning so it can sense your pet's paws reliably. The user manual explains. Our customer service line is available 7-days including after hours. We are here to help you!]Read More9 years agoReviewed byLinda Spokes00Excellent ProductThis is a great product. I bought it to keep my 8mth old Labrador out of the bedroom and kitchen. It worked straight away. He knows when the mat is on the ground its a no-go area. Even the dummy mat works!! Would recommended highly.Read More9 years agoReviewed byHEATHER SANSOM00Dummy MatWe bought this dummy mat when our cat started to scratch and claw at the flyscreen attached to our deck door, late at night. He initially started on our newly refurbished and painted front door, so we bought a scat mat to deter him. The dummy mat is a recent purchase as a back-up when he decided that he would turn his attention to the deck door. We swap them around to confuse this little man, and they have been a godsend! We now use the two side by side across areas where we do not want the dogs to free range when they're in the house, and they only have to see the plastic on the floor, to back off. I highly recommend people to go with the two. It will give you the peace of mind you need when confronted with bad, repetitive behaviour. Big thumbs up!Read More9 years agoReviewed byMike00Dummy MatThis is a brilliant product, my labradoodle pup was scratching our new timber floors and jumping on our beds in the morning, so I bought a scat mat from suregaurd which stopped her straight at the doorway, she now waits patiently for us there every morning .We turned it off after a week and she still wont go over the mat. So then I bought a dummy mat for another doorway and it worked !! She thinks it is the powered mat and its much cheaper. I recommend this product very highly. It works exactly how it says and fast.!Read More9 years ago
