If this wasn't the only item of its kind i would give this thing a 2 star... It's bulky, uses a 9 volt battery, two options for sensitivity, no indicator if it's on or not, its ugly as all hell - Bascially this thing was designed in the 80's and the deisgn was never revisited. But from my research, this is the only item of its kind (which is pretty crazy if you ask me).

With all that out the way - it works. My Dane is now scared of getting on or around the sofa.

We have two dogs. A big stinky golden retriever, and a smallish german short hair pointer. They both love to go play outside and roll around in the mud. They also are snugglebugs, and my wife and I are softies.

We bought a new home. Wife wanted an off-white cloth sofa. I told wife that was a terrible, terrible idea, our dogs will get on the sofa. We bought sofa anyways. Dogs got on sofa. Sofa turned brownish.

I bought a 2-pack of these bad boys. Come with the battery already in the device, just need to attach it with the connector. I'm not sure I've ever even seen the dogs get rejected by the alarm yet, they just.. don't get on the sofa anymore.

In my opinion this is a vastly more elegant and reasonable solution than some of the shock pads and stuff out there. These things are very sensitive to motion; my 200 pound footsteps stomping by on my way into the kitchen can frequently set it off. This is moderately irritating. I usually just turn the ringers off if we are home. However getting rid of this thing literally just means flicking a switch and stuffing it between the sofa cushions. Really couldn't be easier.

Strongly recommend as the go-to solution for getting your pets off your beds and sofas. The noise is awful and they are a little over-sensitive, but way less of an eye sore than a giant plastic mat that SHOCKS stuff.

This worked great. After my dog set it off a couple times on our night stand she touches nothing on it. No longer needed there. Now putting it on a pair of outdoor shoes she likes to carry off. Two days in and shoes have been left alone. Very happy with this. May not work as well on stubborn dogs but ours is a quick learner.

I was struggling to keep my two cats off of one specific chair and my dining room table. Immediately after setting these up, they stayed away. I was really looking forward to catching one or both in the act with the alarm, but that never even happened. Now I don't even turn them on any more, and the cats still stay off. I was a bit weary of the price tag, but thankfully, this product delivers on what it is supposed to. I will say that the vibration detection is so sensitive on the high setting that it was difficult to walk normally past this device without setting off the alarm. The low setting worked best for me. I realize all cats (and pets) are different, but these really got the job done for me.

I have used this product for years with other dogs and cats and when I succumbed to the urge to have a pal during this Covid pandemic, I immediately ordered two of Tattle Tale vibrating trainers. You can put them anywhere from a table top or counter to chairs, beds, anything you want to keep your dog or cat off of. I have had success with this product for dogs and cats and the sound can be highly irritating (sort of the point, right?) So, the animals don't like it.

FYI - you will need to take time at first to say"no" (or whatever negative word you use with your pet) every time the Tattle Tale emits the sound when your pet tries to get up on the item you wish to keep them off of. After a few days, most pets get the message and then if they decide to try it again, the sound alone will make them hop right down.

I highly recommend this product!!!
