I understand some people give bad reviews because their package arrived late or the product doesn't work on their pet, but that's not informative nor does that help anyone else.
Here is a review you can trust because I was in your place, reading reviews and hoping for hope.
This device is AN OPTION and it works. It's not idiot-proof, you have to read the instructions, be patient, and TRY to get them to work effectively. For those of us with cats who pee on sofas and mark hand-knotted rugs, tear up expensive leather chair legs with their claws or make bread on a mongolean Sheepskin throw - just HAVING an option to try is a gift from God!
Does it work - Yes, absolutely. Is it effective, Yes absolutely. Will it work for every cat and every situation - Of course not. If your cat has very long hair - you'll have to cut or shave an area around their neck. Hair is an insulator, so no cat will get the full impact of a shock but a skinless cat - EVEN THEN, this is nothing more than an electrostatic shock like when you walk across a fury carpet, or you touch certain fabrics and feel a shock - THAT is the power of the shock - it's nothing, very safe and very tame. I researched these products for a year, I watched videos, read articles and reviews and talked to the manufacturers a few times. This WORKS but you have to follow the directions. There's a BRIGHT YELLOW TAG on the collar with solid black letters that reads " DO NOT LEAVE ON YOUR ANIMAL MORE THAN 12 HOURS AT A TIME". These people who talk about going to the ER Vet or show pictures of their neglected cat with a torn-up neck - They are negligent owners and/or illiterate. Follow the directions and give your pets a break. The most important part is consistency. You have to stick with it for a month if you want it to work. You can't let your pet in the forbidden area "sometimes" to spoil them. If they sleep when you sleep, take it off of them. Our cats weren't happy the first time we put them on, but we give them treats and love every time we take the collars on or off - so now they don't mind them at all. We're close to Day 30 and I'm confident they won't need them anymore.
As for this product, I found the range to be too short for what we need. It works but the range is TINY, like the size for a cat box. Maybe it's because our batteries are weak, but I found the mini to be too "mini.
These brown collars are the right size to get for cats and small dogs.
IF you want to use the A/B zone features, the Learning Curve is substantial. We have 3 collars, and all 3 of them are paired to our big barrier (A & B), but only 1 is paired to the Mini (B only). This stuff is not user-friendly but if you go to the PEtSafe website, they have LIVE CHAT to walk you through it.
Some of the collars are glitchy because of the Battery Lid. Always test out your collars, and make sure they are routed to A zone or B zone.
If you have cats and want new furniture - There's hope! :)
If they don't have serious skin problems or thick long coats - TRY THIS. It will work.
You have no other option anyway, I looked at everything. If you're responsible and know how to read, then your cat won't suffer any injuries and will enjoy their collar (they have no idea what it does).
If you leave on vacation, pour your cats an extra large portion of food then attach their collars on your way out of town; you shouldn't have children, much less own pets, and admit those things on an Amazon review.

Honest Review of the PetSafe Pawz Away Pet Barrier Kit
Richard Osterude

Miracle worker!
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE?? First, a little background: I am an experienced dog owner, I used to train dogs in college and I have owned 2 labs of my own (both very well behaved) before getting my food obsessed yellow lab who is now 7 yrs old. The last 7 years this dog has tested my patience to the max. She is a high drive, "working" lab who once ate through a Chewy box to get at her bag of food and ate 9lbs of dog food without us knowing (that was a trip to the ER vet and a story for another time). I have tried EVERYTHING to get her to stop stealing food from the counters/table, but she still thinks my kid's food is an all you can eat buffet. Finally my mom mentioned this little indoor pet barrier and after reading up on the several options out there, I went with pet safe for a couple of reasons:1. I've had a pet safe wireless fence system for 10+ years and it still works. Hopefully this is just as durable.2. This is battery powered with replaceable batteries so you can literally put it anywhere in your house, unlike some that need a plug.My dog is already trained to an e-collar and a wireless fence so she is very familiar with the "beep" and knows to back off. I put this collar on and turned the barrier on, and the results were IMMEDIATE. As suspected she went right for the piece of jerky I put on the table. She got the beep and then a shock and off she ran out of the kitchen. She now sits outside of the kitchen looking sad and dejected trying to convince you she is starving. We have left all kinds of food out to test her and nothing has been touched in 4 days.-Be aware that if your dog is not familiar with an e-collar they will likely need a little more training.-The level of shock can not be adjusted, it appears to be sufficient for my 60lb, VERY persistent lab, however if you have a super stubborn dog, or very sensitive dog, this may not be great for you (although I think it's worth a try!)- you will likely need to buy a couple of other bases if you have a weird shaped room/large area to cover. For instance, I want to keep my dog off the counter and the table. If the base is on the table, the 6ft radius doesn't quite make it to all of my counters, and vice versa. For now she's terrified enough of the beep that she stays out, but I may need to get another mini barrier for the table in the future.-I think the price is a bit expensive for what it is. The collar strap is cheap (I compared it to my OG pet safe fence collar and the quality is lacking). I can stomach paying $75 for the collar and barrier system, but I wish the add on barriers were less money. That being said.... if you're desperate like me, it's worth it.- this isn't really training her to not take food, which I don't love because I believe in correcting the problem in your training instead of putting a bandaid on it (I'm sure the second the collar is off she will take full advantage and go right back to stealing), so I intend to do some training with her on top of the barrier, but at least this can keep her from self rewarding when she steals food. Overall I'm so happy I came across this and as long as it continues to work without issue, it's a home run!
