Is your spunky Havanese pup constantly bouncing on and off of your furniture? Are you having trouble training him to stay off? If so, talk with your vet about the possibility of using a scat mat. In general, a scat mat is a touch sensitive training pad that teaches your pet to stay off of the furniture or away from other prohibited areas. The scat mat releases a low power electronic pulse similar to static electricity. The clear and flexible vinyl scat mat can be placed at the entrance to a room, on furniture, or on counter tops. If your pet touches the mat he will feel three small zaps that will warn him to stay away. Most pets seem to understand the zaps and refrain from the mats and the protected furniture. For more information about scat mats or alternative training methods, contact your veterinarian Crown Point, IN.
