Will this work to keep dogs off countertops?

Sorry, I have know idea. I have them on my sofas and they are working great! They are sensitive so they might work. You'll just have to try it. Good luck!

The material slides around a lot on harder surfaces so if your dogs jump onto the counter and land on it, both are likely to slide off and fall on the floor. The fear of falling might be enough to deter, but a non-agile dog could get hurt. As far as the noise, it startled them enough the first few times to send them running. After a few times, they quit caring about the noise. They'll just sit on it while it goes off or jump over it. It's more annoying to the people in the house than to my cats. Probably depends on how sensitive to noise and how smart your dogs are. I tried this before buying a shocking mat cause I felt bad to shock them. But, the shock mat works much better and the shock isn't that painful. Like static. They do not sit on the shock mat while it goes off. And it only takes once or twice for them to learn.

Yes & yes. We had a problem with new neighbors and they kept letting their dogs bark between our houses when they tether them outside. After asking nicely, and it turning into a battle, I bought these to deter them from putting their dogs on our side of their yard. No more barking dogs! (They rent and they know I have complained to their landlord, so if they think we have something on tape, & it stops the barking, all the better)! The blinking light light can be seen easily at night to deter anyone from your home/office.

Interesting. I don't think it would completely prevent a dog from getting the food, but it might make it less appealing, and it would certainly slow him down a lot. Worth trying.

I think your lab will absolutely able to push this around on a ceramic floor, and the puppies too. I have an 80 lb lab and she is very strong. This is a very lightweight gate that will likely do very little to contain your dogs. I own a similar gate but only use it to keep my kids & dog from the grill on my deck. For something heavier & sturdier, I would consider one of the metal gates on the market. I own the http://www.amazon.com/KidCo-KID-G80-Configure-Gate/dp/B000056HMX/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1313246433&sr=1-1 but there's also the http://www.amazon.com/North-States-Superyard-Metal-Gate/dp/B000U5FOT2/ref=pd_cp_ba_1. These are unfortunately much more expensive, but more heavy duty than the light plastic ones. I love the configure gate because I can arrange it any way. I use it in a straight line across a large opening between my family room & kitchen, but also at Christmas around the tree to keep my enthusiastic lab from eating or yanking down our tree. I hope any of this helps. They also make metal & wooden pet gates that might better serve your purposes. I hope this helps. Best of luck with the dogs!

I am sure it could help train a dog to stop bad habits. It makes a high pitch sound, getting the dogs attention and causes them to stay back. Maybe if your dog does something that your training not to do, just say no, then a quick click on this tool and eventually your pet will understand that it is not okay. It is worth a try. I think it works great!

I think it would...I use it to cover the top of the couch to keep my dog from jumping off of it. It is a bit slick on the bottom so it can slide around some, but it's really easy to position. I suppose if I was really worried about movement of the Scat Mat I would either put something on it to keep it from sliding around (tape? Velcro?) because I'm not sure how much it would move around if on an outside surface/in the wind.

That's kind of the idea of it - to keep dogs out of a circular area around the rock. It's won't work as a fence to keep dogs IN that circle, only out of it. How well it works as a fence to keep your dog out of the circle depends on your dog, whether he or she is already trained with an electric collar, and how much he or she cares about the beeps & small shocks. It won't work as well as a real solid fence, but my dog (who was already trained to our underground fence) gives the rock a wide berth, even if her toys get close to it. She'll wait as I go inside the circle and get the toys for her, because she does not like the shock and she knows how to avoid getting it.

I don't see why not. I used it on laminate hardwood stairs to keep my dog from slipping on them. It seemed to help a lot. My housekeeper thought it was dirt and mopped all day trying to get it off. Just spray lightly at first and maybe use a couple of coats to prevent running or pooling. It will leave a rough(but not like sandpaper), hazy film so don't expect a shiny result.

It might. The video with the training techniques is helpful if you follow the instruction and training consistently. My 3 year old schnauzer-terrier mix learned quickly not to pull on the leash. It wasn't not effective at teaching him not to jump on people or 'counter-surf' to steal food. We used the techniques from the video and got a shock collar. It only took two zaps to teach him and an occasional buzz of sound to remind him and he rarely jumps! So the collar works for mild-mannered dogs but the technique works for more rambunctious fellow.

Yes I guess it could. As long as it would not slip off the counter when they "pawed" it. Either way- it only needs to sound off- even if it falls- they would get the gist haha.

I think it would. It's a behavior spray. I use it for my dogs barking. It is very effective. Even the sight of it now can get them to stop. It's definitely worth a try. Good luck!

It might work but it could be a bit small for bigger dogs. I used this for little chihuauah puppies. U may need to ancor the bottom to the floor somehow to keep them from getting out. There is a mat that just velcros around the outside edge so they could get out the bottom if its not taped or anchored down somehow.

Yes, if the place where you install it doesn't slide past another door, then it would work. It's about an inch thick, so it might be perfect for a dog that's scratching

Yes, it will work great. I have the Invisible Fence on over 2 acres and have a dog that likes to get into trouble in several of our garden areas; I have 3 of these and the nice part is that the effective area can be decreased from 16' down to 2', one is by my front door and it doesn't impede the dog from comming in. The dog will have to wear a second collar for the rock.

It works at keeping my cats out. Also keeps me out when I forget to slide it out of the way. I would say yes for your dog although mine has never tried.

I really can't answer that because I don't have a dog. However, I believe it could keep out fleas too. Probably best to call/write the manufacturer.
