Best Dog Repellent Mats of 2026

"I bought this mat to keep my big dogs and visiting boarders from counter surfing during the holidays. The lowest setting was enough to keep four large dogs away without even needing to zap them—the audible beep alone made them steer clear. Setup was straightforward, and food was safe all season. I’m thrilled with how well it worked."

"After years of using older models, I got the new version to keep my cats out of my wife’s room. The new power module only takes batteries, which is less convenient than the old AC adapter option, but surprisingly, the 9V battery has lasted over six months so far. I’d prefer sturdier wiring for foot traffic, but overall, this mat still does an impressive job at stopping unwanted pet behavior."

"I never thought a product could work so flawlessly. My dog learned to stay off the couch after just a couple of zaps—now she won’t even go near it for treats. The mat’s beep and shock combination, plus the violation counter, make it easy to track progress. I even tried it on myself, and the jolt is strong but not painful. This is honestly my favorite Amazon purchase ever."

"I was amazed at how quickly this stopped my rescue dog from claiming the bed and sofa as his own. The alarm went off once, and now he avoids those spots unless invited. It’s a simple, humane solution that worked instantly."

"We have several big dogs and tried all sorts of tricks to keep them off the furniture—nothing worked until we got these mats. Within days, our dogs respected the boundaries, and now just seeing the mats keeps them off. Even turned off, the mats do the job."

"After struggling with baby gates and covers, this mat finally kept our 80-lb hound off the couch. The high-pitched beep is a strong deterrent—now, even the sight of the mat is enough. Much easier to use and more effective than other products we tried."

"I've tried everything to keep my dog off the couch, but nothing worked until I found these mats. They're easy to move, lightweight, and my dog finally stays off the furniture. The Velcro connections make it simple to link them together, and I use some weights to keep them secure. So far, I'm really happy with the results!"

"I purchased these to prevent my cats from taking over my couch. The mats are sturdy and work well, but I wish they were larger to cover more surface area. I might need to buy another set, and I'll probably tape them down for extra security. Overall, they're doing the job!"

"I needed a solution to stop my dogs from climbing on the sofa, and these mats have worked wonders. They're lightweight, easy to assemble, and I love that I can roll them up and store them away when I have guests. One box was enough for my whole sectional, and the price was great!"

"Our very determined dog used to dig on the couch all the time, but after putting this mat down, she stopped immediately. The noise is enough to keep her away, and we never needed the shock setting. After trying all sorts of makeshift solutions, this was by far the easiest and most effective."

"My 11-month-old Boxer was a chronic counter surfer, but after just one beep from this mat, he quit jumping up on the counters. I appreciate that the alarm is loud enough for me to hear from another room, so I know if my dog tries to get up there when I’m not looking."

"At first, the mat didn’t work, and I almost returned it. After reinserting the battery, it started functioning perfectly. It’s been a simple solution for keeping my pets off the furniture."

"This mat does a fantastic job keeping my pets off the furniture. I tried so many things to stop my dog from getting on the couch, but after setting this up, she won't even go near it. Highly recommend for protecting your furniture!"

"Customer service from Seeway was outstanding. My original mat wouldn't stop beeping, but after reaching out, they quickly sent me a replacement that works flawlessly. The mat is very effective; my cats avoid it just at the sight of it. Only minor downside is having to remove batteries to reset, but it's a small tradeoff."

"The static shock is stronger than I expected, more like an electric fence than just static electricity. It definitely keeps neighborhood cats away from my patio at night. Battery life is good, and rechargeable batteries work well. I appreciate that it deters animals without harming them."

"I placed these mats on my furniture and they kept my cats away very effectively. For the price, I think they're well made and durable."

"After adopting a pee pad trained Yorkie, I had some trouble with her confusing my throw rug for a pad. Using these scat mats at night, I found they worked wonderfully to prevent accidents, and I plan to stop using them once she's fully trained."

"I went with these mats after doing a lot of research, hoping to keep my two kittens away from the Christmas tree. While the mats were easy to set up and did offer some deterrent, my persistent cats figured out how to move them and get around the snaps, so they weren't as effective as I'd hoped on carpeted areas."

"This product worked wonders for my dog—he used to sneak onto the couch at night, but that stopped immediately. Very well made and reliable."

"I’m really pleased with this training mat. It’s super easy to use and has helped correct my cat’s behavior quickly and efficiently."

"I was deeply upset by how harsh the static mode was on my cat. The shock seemed far too strong and left me concerned for smaller pets' safety."

"I’m thrilled with how well this mat keeps my dogs off the couch. Setup was simple, and it works exactly as promised. My dogs learned after just one try and never attempted to get back on the couch. It’s a fantastic solution!"

"We bought this for our Lab puppy who was chewing cords and furniture. After finding the right setting, he stopped immediately—just one step on the mat and he avoided the wires. I’m happy with how easy and effective it is, though I do wish it was a bit heavier as it slides on hardwood floors. Still, totally worth it!"

"I wanted to keep my kitten off the kitchen counters for safety and hygiene. We tested the mat ourselves and it gives a mild shock—enough to startle, not hurt. It took a few tries, but now our cat avoids the area. I appreciate that it’s not painful, and it’s reassuring to see results."

"I was desperate to keep my large dog off my white couch at night and this product did the trick! She jumped away immediately after one zap and hasn’t tried since. I also appreciate that it comes in a set. It’s been weeks and I haven’t had to change the batteries yet."

"I’ve used other similar mats before, but these didn’t respond as well. My pets figured them out quickly and the batteries drained really fast, even without much use. I ended up returning them and looking for another solution."

"I’m happy with how these work for both my cats and dogs—my couch stays clean and hair-free! I haven’t even needed the static shock; the sound alone keeps the pets away. Even if they only last a month, I’d still buy them again."

"I was struggling with my Lab puppy chewing on everything, especially wires. After trying this product, I found it was super simple to use and worked perfectly—he stopped chewing after one try! I appreciate that the mat isn't painful, just effective. I do wish it was a bit heavier so it wouldn't slide on my hardwood, but overall, it's worth every penny."

"As a cat owner, I wanted a safe way to keep my kitten off the kitchen counter for hygiene and safety. I tested the mat myself and found the shock to be mild yet noticeable. My kitten eventually learned to stay away, especially on the highest setting. I really like that it's not cruel or painful, just a gentle deterrent."

"I absolutely love these mats! I bought three, and now my three Frenchies avoid the area completely, even if the mats aren't turned on. They learned quickly, and I no longer have to worry about them getting on the furniture."
