Will this work in an area that has frequent human traffic? I want to block our small dog but we would need to pass through. Can we walk over it?

No. The motion detector detects all movement whether by animal or human so it will activate if you walk past it.

I placed it in my front walkway in front of my door. It scared the heck out of the Fed X guy, not to mention my friends visiting. We just learned to try and step over it. The product worked for me, it stopped the neighbors cat from spraying on my front door. Good luck!

I would not use it got this purpose. Didn't work to stop my dog from barking. Use an electric dog fence about a foot inside the perimeter of the fence you have now.

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.

This little machine is wonderful at blocking traffic noise. Traffic noise is not our biggest problem, though we live in the center of a large city and a fire house is a block away. We live on the 10 t.h floor of an old building that is undergoing repair. For six months we have lived through air hammers and cement chippers outside our sliding doors. Yet with our Marsona we can nap in the afternoon. This little machine sucks up an amazing amount noise. We depend on it, pack it for trips and try to tell our neighbors how effective it is. Many don't believe it could overcome the air hammers. We say"try it". We always set it on the surf sound. This little machine is wonderful at blocking traffic noise.

I only used it once on the sidewalks. My dog passed away. I still have it I received two small dogs so I will see how it works on our dirt roads now.

We did not attach this bicycle/carriage to our bikes. So, I do not know how it works. We are pleased with the cart to push our little dog around in when we go places where dogs are welcomed. We liked this cart over others we looked at. It is easy to use in crowds and other people cannot try to pet our dog. He is 12+ years and this cart kept him safe from people who like to pet dogs they do not know. Our dog is enjoying his freedom and ability to look around or sleep.

We have 4 dogs, 45-80 lbs, Yukon vehicle, works great for us. Our dogs are able to put their noses thru the far sides to peak out to us in the front seat, which is high up. Hard to say for small dogs though. But we like the barrier.

Yes, for sure, however that seems like a huge waste of wire. There must be a more efficient way to do it. You can do a double wire (spaced 5' apart) across the area where you have no fence, then twist the wire and go directly back to the house where - you don't need to twist it and follow the fence all the way around. Also, if you're using "Yardmax mode" the dog can go right up to the wire without the warning going off. In some cases, you can't use that mode, so it may not apply to you.

It's pretty simple with two people. I had my 14yr old help me. If you plan ahead it is easier, but honestly I just started unrolling and walked around the part of my yard I wanted my dogs to be allowed in. There's about 3ft or more of a space where your dog actually gets correction before they actually get to the wire. Put the wire a bit further than you want your dog to be able to go. Some dogs are quicker than others at getting this so make sure you tke the time to walk your dog around the whole perimeter.

Well, the unit itself cannot, but the radio signal that it uses will make it through with significant attenuation. The unit was designed to work its best with a line-of-sight signal path, but if you can tolerate a much reduced distance, it will work with obstacles in the way. DON'T count on much signal getting through a metal barrier like aluminum or steel siding.

It would not work well as a dog barrier. Even when stretched out, the net is somewhat stretchy and very flexible. You would want something a little more solid for your dog's safety.

Probably not. I wasn't impressed with this gate. It nearly pulled out of the wall the first time we opened it. I followed the directions to the letter. It was very hard to use in an area with a lot of traffic.

This is a motion detector, yes it will read through most outside walls and bark when someone approaches, however, if there is movement around the unit it will react then too.

I have the 6" thick cover, and it very strong. I could probably walk across it at 170lbs. I would guess that extended canine traffic would probably eventually put holes in the cover, which would allow water to get inside the foam insert, and then its life is shortened by it becoming waterlogged.

It might work for that, I use it outside to keep the cats off of our cars and it is not very effective. I think using it in a close proximity would be effective.

I think it will work fine as long as you "fasten" it somehow. When I use mine in the car, the one end is "stuck" to the seat and the ramp does not move. So something should keep the ramp in place when the dog walks on it. Hope your dog will do fine. I love that ramp for my dog.

If using this product alone, I would not recommend this product for areas of heavy traffic as the top thin sheet metal membrane can be fairly easily pierced, thereby compromising the water resistance. What I've done for areas of heavy traffic (balconies) is laid down the MFM product as roofing and built a floating cedar or synthetic deck that can be walked on over the MFM roofing material. Looks great, weather proof, economical, and long lasting.
