Does your dog stay off the couch only as long as you’re in the room? Baby gates, mats, and closed doors can work, until your dog figures out how to jump over them or you get tired of stepping around them. This conversation with Jesus, the creator of Pet Sensor, looks at a different kind of indoor boundary: a small beacon placed in the spot you want off limits, paired with a collar that beeps, vibrates, or uses static when your dog gets close. You’ll hear how the training works when it’s done right, why the beep and vibration are often all a dog ever needs, and the situations where this tool isn’t the right fit. You’ll hear: • How a big, athletic dog clearing an electrostatic mat in one jump led to the idea • Why the training is built around rewarding your dog for moving away, not punishing them for getting close • The built-in pause that keeps a dog from getting stuck near a beacon • Why it’s meant for indoor spaces only, and what happened when someone used it on a front door Press play if you’ve tried every gate and mat and your dog is still on the couch the minute you leave.
