Contech SKMC411 ScatMat Automatic Indoor Pet Training Mat, Large
The Scat Mat is a touch sensitive training pad which says no, when you can’t. Place the clear flexible vinyl Scat Mat in a room entrance, on your sofa, counter top or the hood of your car. The touch sensitive pad will silently protect prohibited areas from trespassers. When touched, the battery sends small pulses to the mat for three seconds. These surprising little zaps quickly repel most animals who stay away after one or two exposures–even after the mat is removed. Veterinarian approved Scat Mat works when all else fails. Used in conjunction with your normal training techniques, and surface cleaning (as appropriate for elimination behavior changes) the Scat Mat will help you restore harmony to your household. Easily move your Power Pack from one mat to another. Scat Mats only train pets who get onto, or into the unapproved space. Scat Mats operate unattended and correct the pet at exactly the time and location of the unwanted behavior, day or night. Action Indicator Light helps you decide when the pet is trained. It will blink a count showing how many times the mat has been stepped since it was last turned on.

Customer Review: Works like a charm
I love it and the cats hate it. It works great and keeps the cats off the new couch. I wish I had found this product sooner.

Customer Review: Exactly as advertised
Very effective! Took exactly one attempt per pet to permanently keep them out of my living room. No more “accidents” in that room ever since. I don’t even have to turn it on any more. They just stay away.

Now they only “go” on the carpet just inside the house next to the doggie door. Only when I’m not home. Not sure how to fix that behavior.

The Big Aquarium
This episode in the Big Adventure series certainly lives up to its title. We visit the Tennessee Aquarium located in Chattahoochie, the largest indoor freshwater aquarium in the world. Through the blend of animation, title cards, and a playful soundtrack of music and kids conversing with the narrator, we learn about the Tennessee River Valley ecosystem, plus more exotic sea life from around the world including piranha, jellyfish, and sharks. The series is careful to put everything in perspective; we see how much of the employees’ jobs have to do with cleaning and feeding of the animals. –Doug Thomas

Customer Review: So Awesome!!
This is the most wonderful series. We own the Big Aquarium and the Big Zoo. My seven-year-old will watch the Aquarium over and over if I would let him. My four-year-old loves both of the videos and has learned so much. He has talked to me about “endangered” animals and how Rhino horns are made of Keratin. The seven-year-old is just amazed at the behind the scenes information on how big places like these work. He can’t get enough. They learn facts about animals and how they are taken care of by professionals. Not just what the names of the animals are. These videos go beyond that without being complicated or hard to follow. They are awesome and I highly recommend them to anyone with inquisitive kids.
Customer Review: Outstanding Aquarium Film
My 3 1/2 year old grandson rented this movie from the library. I can’t tell you how many times this was watched in a week! My husband loved it so much we had to buy one. It is a great movie for kids and adults alike.
