How the Pawz Away™ Spray DeterrentWorks
PetSafe®Pawz Away™ Spray Deterrent monitors for movement up to 3 feet away.When your pet is
detected, the Pawz Away™Spray Deterrent sends a quick, safe spray that startles your pet.Your pet
quickly learns to avoid areas that are off-limits. It is effective for both dogs and cats of all sizes.
The PetSafe®Pawz Away™Spray Deterrent offers three options to discourage your pet from designated
areas: Tone+Spray; Tone Only (without Spray) and Spray Only.The spray is odorless, safe and
humane; however it is a sufficient stimulus to deter pets from jumping on countertops, digging in trash
or entering restricted areas.
The PetSafe®Pawz Away™Spray Deterrent has a small (only 2.75 inches high), innovative design that
can sit, hang or be placed most anywhere.You should get about 80-100 sprays between refills.

Choose fromThreeTraining Options
The PetSafe®Pawz Away™ Spray Deterrent offers three training options designed to
shorten training and promote good behavior. Options include Tone+Spray,Tone Only
and Spray Only.
Tone+Spray:The Pawz Away™ Spray Deterrent emits a brief tone, followed by an
immediate spray when your pet enters the restricted area. Most pets learn very quickly
to avoid the area where the Pawz Away™Spray Deterrent is located.After some initial
training withTone+Spray, you may elect to switch to theTone Only mode.
Tone Only:WithTone+Spray mode, described above, the pet learns the spray follows the
tone.After a few encounters you may choose theTone Only option (that is, tone without
spray).The tone activates when the pet steps into the restricted area but there will be no
spray. Pets will usually respond to theTone warning and avoid the off-limits area.
Spray Only:There may be times when you prefer to leave the spray on without the tone;
for instance, when you are sleeping. Spray Only sends immediate correction when your pet
steps into the restricted area without sending the warning tone.
Controls
There are two switches located on the side of the unit.The top switch is used to choose
between the three training options, and turn off the unit.
