Will it work if I put it on my kitchen counter? My med-large dogs like to steal things off the counter and sometimes we forget to put everything away.

It should . I had ours sitting on the floor before deciding what to do with it and it worked there. Sadly our cats more liked playing with it than being scared of it.

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.

The Sofa Scram Mat, in my opinion, will not work on such a surface. They look exactly as depicted in the photo and are relatively thin plastic and rather slick. They would slide on counters. Attaching them might cause them to malfunction. They are fairly long but not wide enough to cover a typical counter. It is worth a try, but I don't think you'll have consistent success with it on a counter.

Don't think it will work. The dog will have to contact the mat to activate the alarm. It would have to be right on the edge and anchored in some way. I found this mat to be completely INEFFECTIVE. My cat was not at all scared by the alarm. Suggest the one that delivers a shock and put it on the floor in front of the cabinet.

My parents had a 70lb Boxer-Pitbull mix that would jump on the counter (literally all 4 feet on the counter, not just front paws) to eat all the bread and fruit. One jump on the counter with the mat=never happened again.

I know of no reason it wouldn't work. My doggie is near that size, and it works great!

Probably. I firmly believe in NOT putting the feeding dish on the floor but raising it to the dog's chest level. My dog us a large breed dog so all I can suggest to you is buy one, try it and if it is not right for your dog, return it.

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They don´t love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

definitely not! the unit is prone to leaking and you could find the entire contents on the counter. i tossed mine!

Well...two of mine use it as intended. One stands on her hind legs and sticks her head in the top. The other one just gives it a left upper cut and knocks it over! Perhaps that sticky stuff that's used to keep breakables on the shelves in museums would work. Other than that, or nail or glue it to the floor. Good luck...they can be devious and creative beasties when it comes to getting their kibble.

depends on the layout. If it is a single cabinet, then the answer is NO. If it is part of a set of cabinets it might as long as the counter top company does it right.

Since I have two black labs, I got the larger unit, and it doesn't take up much space in the kitchen, so I think the smaller one would work well just about anywhere. Plus, keep in mind that Amazon has great return policies.

I do not have pets therefore it is difficult to give an accurate answer to your question. However the motion sensor is very sensitive to movement. I can imagine a large pet may easily trigger the sensor. I do not know how it would react to small pets near the floor.

Maybe but its 2"x1" so your dog should be mid-size or better. Also, It's range is limited and in our house it does work on different floors but it's not a big house. Good luck

It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode. I do not have a cat but I thought it would be a good idea to keep out unwanted critters. There is one problem with this. This door uses batteries to operate the door lock. When your dog who is wearing the magnet key approaches the door it engages the batteries to open the door. This runs your batteries down fairly quickly. You may be replacing them every other week. If your cat is not that bold and won't push on the door to get out then you can leave it unlocked all the time. There are powerful magnets that hold the door shut. I haven't had any unwanted guest so far. It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode.

Yes it should. We leave ours up all the time. Ours came with a crack, but works beautifully. Our dogs have a small grip problem, and we may add extra carpet for them. Overall we are really happy with it.

Yes it can. As a matter of fact I placed it on my kitchen wall. I rent as well; a senior apartment and have tested removing it with no problem. Have moved it around several times in different locations just to be sure. Have fun with it. I love it!

don't know how smart your critters are.... they would have to push down on the red latch. my husband thinks a racoon could figure it out. I doubt it. it is small enough that we keep it on our kitchen countertop. I totally love it. the latch means you can have the garbage in your hands and still open it without making a mess. I would not want to carry the garbage across the floor to the outside. Also, it is not really big enough to keep outside in my opinion. I use a lot of veggies for two people, and we take it to the garbage once or twice a week. It has a very small footprint on the countertop. If you want to keep it outside, get a bigger one or move your garbage can closer. don't know how smart your critters are.... they would have to push down on the red latch. my husband thinks a racoon could figure it out.

Sure! We place ours on a small table near us. We don't put it on the floor and so, it doesn't bother our dog.
