I need to keep my Jack Russel from the kitchen counters where she jumps up from the floor and eats everything in sight. What should I buy to accomplis

This is a great solution. I have a HUGE 126 lbs dog that can reach everything on the counter, and enjoys our comfortable bed. When the scatmat is on either of these he won't go near it. It worked so well that we don't even turn it on anymore, just lay it out, and he hates it. Definitely buy the mat and the extension too, to cover more area.

Make the investment into PetSafe ScatMat. Counters, doorways, beds, furniture, place a mat any where you want to teach your pet to stay off. My pet only had to touch it twice and now takes a long walk around it to avoid it. I tried turning it off, thinking my pet got the message. I think because the mat does give off a clicking sound, he figured out when it was on or off. So now I just leave it on all the time. And the plus to using it, I've saved beyond the cost of the ScatMat just in cleaning products.

The mat works well..... It let's them know not to get on the counter.... I used it on my Converterbile top also...On counter I bought the extension to cover addition areas.... The shock is mild, but gets their attention...The mat is well worth the money, but you'll only need to use it for a few times....

this helped, but didn't completely solve the problem. My dog quickly figured out when the mat was there equals zap. We tried 'setting her up' and she never took the bait. She is a basset hound, but can get up there somehow and does all the time. She has now taken to licking the dishes when I don't get to them right away. We had SOME luck with the Pet Agree (it's a wireless remote that does high pitch noise) and we could be out of the room and push it. Worked for a few weeks and now she doesn't care. Good luck!

The scatmat will work, but make sure you buy the main part and not just the extension. Also, you might want to find a way to make sure it doesn't slip off the counter in case she jumps on it just right.

Get a main Scat Mat (the one with the battery pack included) and any extensions you need to cover the length of your counters. My brother and sister-in-law used these to keep their Labrador off their counters. That's how I got the idea to use it to keep my cats off my daughter's bed.

our rat terrier used to jump up on our kitchen table. we installed a scat mat on the table. when we arrived back home the contents of the table were in disarray. Skippy never jumped on the table again!

Peanut butter. Plain yogurt and freeze them - good if crating and want to keep them busy. Kind of messy. Dry dog food could fall out but may cause them to work a bit. A good chew toy with no food in it. This size seems good for a lot of sizes of dogs. Do not want too small. I put in dishwasher.

I have Dalmatians and I usually put about a cup of kibble in the cube and a few bonus soft treats. I used it for a boy with real OCD shadow issues and it kept him busy for 45 minutes to an hour. Of course it also depends on how big (old) they are and how fast they figure out that they have to roll it around to get the good stuff out! I would definitely recommend the Buster cube.

Try an extra large. They are big and you can remove some of the stuffing to make a deeper hole for nesting a larger dog. As the stuffing becomes more dense you can add the saved stuffing back in.

I just used whatever I could find in the house. I have used dog food, cat food, and chips and they all have worked great.

I can't recommend a specific brand of food as all of my cats are on a vet prescribed diet, which is the Royal Canin Spay/Neutered formula & those pieces can go through the big holes fine. We have to get our food through the actual vets office (ugh!)

I have gerbils and aspen is safe for them when pine and cedar is not. Check on line and YouTube. Enjoy your bunny.

Get one of these with the tray and reprimand her when she does it on your rug by showing it to her real close and pick up the poo with her still in your arms with TP and put it on this fake grass and put the tray and grass next to the door you always take her out of. And tell her to go potty there. After a few times of a mad voice and picking it up she will prob do it and when/if she does get realllly happy and give her a treat! Hope this helps!

Small hard treats work best, they fall out much easier. The softer ones tend to get stuck. I use Grizzyly Nutreats - Wild Salmon Treats from the Healthy Pet Store. Enjoy!

I use Purina small bites in ours. Works perfectly! The pet stores also carry treats that fit but I prefer to just use kindle. It's cheaper and it doesn't upset his tummy.

Put things in the corners. I had a water bottle that came out on one corner and a bowl for his food on the other. He will still poop a little on the top floor since they basically are always pooping! ;) but they do prefer corners.

I bought some on http://amazon.com. Be aware, to not open in the house. If it gets in the carpet, it's hard to clean.

I definitely think it will last you a few years. My jack russells managed to jump over it easily at 6 months old so if your dog is a jumper, you might want to reconsider

the inside measurments are 14 x 14. Unless your jack russel is extrememly large I think it would be fine. Our very large kitties love them!

Go to the pet store and buy 2 bags of aquarium rock and pour it into the rails (they have caps to close it) fill as much as you could and this will prevent the stairs from moving.

If you want to, you could buy another one and take out all of the small pieces from both sets. Just keep the small pieces and give it to them when they are a little bit older. That is way they can have their own set of food
