Would this work indoors? We are looking to use this to keep our dog off a new couch we purchased.

It would it comes with a very thin wire. I used it every where I didn't want the dog to go I just moved the box and there's a control dial. The dog will learn fast. Only my female dog had a problem I had the power to strong at first and she was scared when I put her collar on.

No it won't. R.f signals from the t.v, radio, etc, will give the dog a discharge. Only use this outside.

It would be difficult indoors to set the barrier. A suggestion is a vibrating pad that they sell to keep dogs off the couch, it will beep or vibrate if they jump up there. Another cheaper suggestion is the plastic floor mats that have the bumpy spikes on the bottom. If you lay them with the spiky side up, the dogs will stay off the furniture. They are only like $5-$10.

No. This unit is designed for outside. It would be too sensitive for indoor use

It isn't designed for indoor use as the dog probably could not enter the room or house with the unit on. It is made for outdoor use and when it's working correctly it is perfect for keeping them inside the barrier. The area covered is way bigger than a couch!!!!

I personally have not used it in an indoor situation but a friend of ours used it to remove a smoke smell from and jacket and he said it worked. Hope this helps.

YES! As long as you lay this mat flat doen the dog (or you) can make contact with the mat then yes, it will work. I have used it myself in my own bed when it was very warm over the summer. The cooling effect DOES NOT come from the floor, it comes from the gel sealed permanently within the mat. We have even taken this mat in the car on drives, although PLEASE keep in mind and use common sense and remember it is not intended for leaving an animal in a car for any time in warmer or sunny weather.

yes it can be used indoors,but i think it is sold as an outside training aid as it has quiet a good range,one with a smaller range might do if you only want to use it indoors.

I don't this was intended to be used inside. It has a bothersome humming noise not noticeable outside as much. Plus if you have indoor pets, which I do, I would hate for them to jump on this and get electrocuted. Will kill flies and other flying pests. I hope that helps.

It should not be used indoors either. Mine quit after a month or so. You get what you pay for.

I tried them indoors on carpet. It worked well enough for my careful dog but I imagine mats and duct tape would stand up to a more forceful dog fairly well.

yes. It works best indoors as the buttons are really small and hard to turn off. I carol at Christmas and with gloves cannot use this outdoors

It would depend on how long the couch is and how wide the arms are. As it was not made for this purpose, I would suggest looking at slip covers for your couch.

This woud work VERY well for such a small enclosure! I suppose you might want to enclose it or perhaps mount it up high if your dog is prone to chew at the cord, but it should work excellently.

I believe the dog must be in contact with the surface. That's the way I have it for my dog. Placing the mat in a case (like a pillow case) I think would reduce the effectiveness a lot.

I don't see how it would work indoors. It would make a mess. I don't think it would work with a hose either, but don't know for sure.

The pen will spring back, it's very flexible. For instance, I lean over it to clean the litter box (the side I lean on flexes but springs right back). I think it all boils down to the play action of the dogs. I don't think the one on the outside would like the flexing if they jumped up against it, but it would spring back if they did. Imo, I think it could be calming for the dog inside, especially if you put the pen in a corner whereas the outside dog would not be circling it in its' entirety. I have mine against a wall, so my pet is only facing out to the room, not needing to circle to watch is happening. A small bed and a little bowel of treats turns my pen into a condo of relaxation for my pet. If you buy it, I would suggest using it before your visit so your pooch knows what it is you're presenting ( a treat/bed condo). What is amazing for my pet, they associate the treat/bed and look to me to put them in it. And that's a cat! Best of luck.

were you thinking about hanging it off the egde? I would think as long as it has something behind it to support it somehow, just so it's not just hanging there flapping around, it would still work ok. I suppose you could put the most of it on the couch and let part of it drape down the side where she scratches.

I used it near my sofa to avoid piss on my sofa legs, so my dog would stay away from the sofa surroundings. It worked, but my dog realised that after the mat was gone, he could get close and piss on my sofa legs again. I solved it placing the mat under my carpet. It is a heavy carpet, but placing it gently over the mat did not set it the alarm on, only when pressed. After the training time, I removed the alarm mat and my dog still was avoiding the sofa surroundings. So I think if your cushions are light, you could do it.

It is not really meant to be used in the house, unless you have wide open spaces, no furniture. It is meant for walking, exercise. Not meant to be left on the dog.It is to keep them in an upright position, not laying down. And never, ever left unsupervised. I used yoga mats and rugs around the house for my GSD, so he didn't slip on the floor, and used a sling to move him around inside the house.

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.
