About the PetSafe Pawz Away® Threshold Barrier

Eric A.

Define your dog's indoor territory

How many times have you seen a dog owner stepping over a baby gate that's been re-purposed to keep the pooch from entering a specific room? The Pawz Away Threshold Barrier can lie flat or mount horizontally to a wall or stair, so you can walk freely, but keep the dog in his own space.

Define your dog's indoor territory

How many times have you seen a dog owner stepping over a baby gate that's been re-purposed to keep the pooch from entering a specific room? The Pawz Away Threshold Barrier can lie flat or mount horizontally to a wall or stair, so you can walk freely, but keep the dog in his own space.

Pups learn where not to go

The Threshold Barrier comes with one receiver collar, but you can add as many as you need — each one will respond to the barrier strip the same way. When your pet approaches the strip, the collar will give a warning beep, followed by a static correction to remind your pet to stay away from sensitive areas like the baby's bedroom.

If she continues past the barrier, she'll receive corrections from the collar until she backs away, or until the safety time-out activates after 15 seconds. Before long, she'll know exactly where the no-go zone is, and she won't test it.

Part of a whole-home containment system

The collar receiver works with other PetSafe containment systems. A Pawz Away Mini Pet Barrier can keep poochie away from the couch or trash can. When you head outdoors, the collar device keeps them inside the perimeter of the YardMax In-Ground Fence.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The PetSafe Pawz Away Threshold Barrier creates an electronic barrier to keep your pet from going up or down stairs, or from leaving or entering a room. The device transmits a radio signal to a receiver collar around your pet's neck to deter him from moving past the boundary. As your pet approaches the barrier, he will hear a series of beeps from the collar, and progressive static correction. The Threshold Barrier replaces pet gates, so you no longer have to step over physical gates when going from room to room or up and down stairs. The package includes the electronic barrier and a receiver collar. Extra receiver collars are available for additional pets.

Threshold Barrier: The 28" x 3.5" flat Threshold Barrier can be installed horizontally on a wall or stair riser, or placed laying flat on a surface. When mounted, the signal becomes very directional, especially directly above the unit. There are four range levels to choose from, allowing you to adjust the effectiveness of the barrier. The lowest level is effective up to 16", while the highest level reaches up to 36". The transmitter is powered by 4 "AAA" batteries (not included), and is designed for indoor use only. It can installed using the included screws or adhesive strips. Rubber pads in the center and on the ends prevent scratches.

Receiver Collar: The Receiver Collar is a lightweight 3/4" wide nylon collar with a receiver with 1/2" long contact points. As your pet approaches the Barrier Area, he'll hear a series of audible tones from the Receiver Collar, and feel a safe progressive static correction, delivered through the contact points on his neck. This correction will continue until your pet leaves the Barrier Area. If your pet doesn't leave, the collar continues to correct at the maximum level for 3 seconds, up to the 15-second time-out. The collar fits dogs with neck sizes 6" to 28", or cats with necks up to 11.5", and can be trimmed to size. The collar and receiver weigh only 1.8 ounces, and is powered by two 3-volt CR2032 Lithium coin cell batteries (included).

Pawz Away System: The Pawz Away barrier system can be expanded with additional transmitters. The receiver collar included with the Threshold Barrier system also works with these barriers:

Customer Q&A

8 questions already asked

Q
Is this safe for use outside, on a patio, so the dog can't run off the porch into the street?
lauren  May 15, 2020
3 answers
A
The collar/ receiver is waterproof but the transmitter is not.
casey  Jun 01, 2020 (Staff)
A
Yes it is very safe. It depends on if your dog responds to the shock that it gives them. So try it inside and if it works then outside will be the same. Good luck!
jim  May 29, 2020
A
I do not recommend this for outdoors. The collar is noted to not get wet and would assume that should the barrier get wet it would not work.
lynn  May 29, 2020
Q
Is there a variable strength feature to the "correction"? Or does the 8 lb cat get the same zap as the Mastiff?
jean anne  Jan 22, 2020
2 answers
A
There are only 2 strengths, training mode which is higher and normal which you will switch over after the training period. Not sure how it will be with the cat. I recommend training mode for the mastiff however I personally would do normal on the cat. Maybe the customer service professionals of Crutchfield May have other experiences they can recommend.
lynn  Feb 07, 2020
A
No there is no adjustment on the correction. PetSafe recommends the product for dogs 5 lbs. and over (dog must also be under 40" tall).
casey  Feb 07, 2020 (Staff)
Q
We have two staircases. Can one collar be used for both?
vindy  Jul 28, 2019
1 answer
A
Yes. You just need a barrier strip for each staircase. The collar can be set to work with both
amy  Aug 05, 2019
Q
Can you get more than one collar if you only buy one of the blocks? I am trying to keep my dog in my room at times and my cat out.

Yep! Extra receiver collars are available for additional pets (sold separately): https://www.crutchfield.com/p_4810013664/PetSafe-Pawz-Away-Extra-Receiver.html?tp=78777 For more details or to discuss further please feel free to contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. Thanks!

Yes

Q
can this be mounted vertically on a wall or doorway if placing horizontally on the floor is not an option?
tim  Sep 06, 2018
2 answers
A
The Threshold Barrier can be installed horizontally on a wall or stair riser, or placed laying flat on a surface. When mounted, the signal becomes very directional, especially directly above the unit; which makes vertical mounting a challenge. For more details or to discuss further, please contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. Thanks!

I was told NO

If there is enough room yes. And sometimes they run through.

Q
how many feet does this cover?
erik  May 28, 2018
3 answers
A
There are 4 levels to determine the range you need. So do the test method on the instructions to determine the field of coverage. This worked for me and our fur baby.
lynn  Feb 07, 2020
A
36 inches
daniel  Sep 12, 2018

Hi. Following up on unanswered questions. Range is up to 3 ft. There are four range levels to choose from, allowing you to adjust the effectiveness of the barrier. The lowest level is effective up to 16", while the highest level reaches up to 36". Hope this helps.
