Competitor’s Products – Type 1Audible and In-Audible Sound Deterrents
Audible (by Animals & Humans) Single Noise DeterrentHave a major limitation with today's modern home full of audible sounds, beeps, voices, such as from microwave ovens, coffee pot timers, voices on radio-TV, and other sound emitting devices.
TattleTailSingle Tone Audible Deterrent
MSRP : $29.95
CatScramUltrasonic In-Audible Deterrent
MSRP : $39.95
Ultrasonic In-Audible (by Humans) Single Sound DeterrentThe question always remains with in-audible (by humans) type of device deterrent, is the device even working properly, since you can't even hear it (in-audible) when it is working properly. As per one of the nations top retailers in this category, states in their disclaimer…
Pets Quickly Assimilates to, or Unable to Hear Sound Deterrent Event.
The fine print…"A cat may not respond to the CatScram. This happens because some cats lack the capability to hear noises as high pitched as that emitted by the CatScram. This is more common in older cats who have lost some hearing range, very young cats who have not yet fully developed, and occasionally in rare purebreds."
The pet to be deterred therefore quickly assimilates to a single audible deterrent sound, as the pet is unable to differentiate from device deterrent audible sounds from environmental or ordinary daily household sounds and noises.
Competitor’s Products – Type 2Mat Deterrents
Mats-Audible Deterrent
Place Mat in/on Off-Limits Area, Pet Walks on Mat, Mat Senses Pet, Emits Audible Sound/Beep. Product is hindered by today's modern home full of audible sounds, beeps, voices etc., such as from microwave ovens, coffee pot timers, voices on radio-TV, and other sound emitting devices.
Mats-Electric Shock Deterrent
Place Mat in/on Off-Limits Area, Pet Walks on Mat, Mat Senses Pet, Emits a Electric Shock to Pet.Quite Effective for Pets & Children.

Competitor’s Products – Type 3Canned Air Spray Deterrents
PawzAwaySpray Air Deterrent
MSRP : $36.95Consumable Refills :
$12.99
SSScatSpray Air Deterrent
MSRP : $38.95Consumable Refills :
$13.95
Spray Air Deterrent DevicesPlace Device in/on Off-Limits Area, Pet Walks in Sensor Range, Device Emits Short Blast of Canned Air. Effective for Horizontal Surface.
However… Consumable Aerosol Deterrent Refills make It Absolutely Cost Prohibitive To Operate (i.e. one stubborn pet cat in a household may trigger canned air blast usage of 2 or more proprietary and expensive canned air deterrent refills @ $10 each weekly; that's $20 a week !... for one cat !!). Imagine if you have 2 or more cats as most households often have, the cost of weekly refills then become a real issue.
Redirect Sensor or Turn Off before Human Can Use Pet Off-Limits Area.
Consumers understandably are resistant… to the high cost of consumable propriety canned air refills that begin to quickly add up for the pet owner, very fast, product often shelved because of high operating cost !
Buyers’ like it at first… then hate the cost of refills… then don’t use them !
In just 1 months time… Pet Owners could Spend More $$$ in Canned Air Refills,
2-4x the Product Costs ! … CUSTOMERS’ Don’t Like This !Plus… unable to view or detect remaining deterrent
supply !
CounterWatch device uses means and methods that join active contact and non-contact passive training and deterrent methods, together creating a synergistic result in the training and deterrent of the indoor household animals.

Appendix
My History and Passion ("My Go Fast Story") : It all started for me at the age of 7… I wanted to go-faster, as I told mommy sitting in my racing go kart, mom says “we have no money to buy those high-tech go-fast racing parts, sorry”. So I had to figure out my own way to go faster.
At the age of 7-12 years old, I studied every math and engineering book I could get my hands on (from old engineering library books and college textbooks), and began learning how to design, develop and make my own motorcycle go-fast parts (among everything else!, that interested me). But most of all, first I still needed to make money to buy the needed materials to make those new racing parts (products) that are in my mind.
By the age of 12 years old, I was on my way funding my new product ventures through my hard work and natural entrepreneurship. I had several daily paper delivery routes and was starting to sell my newly developed and produced racing parts.
With junior high metal shop and high school machine shop classes, this gave me the perfect learning environment for R&D, making prototypes and producing my racing parts, utilizing the foundry, lathes, mills, fabrication equipment and welding equipment.
I also took electronics classes which taught me the fundamentals of electronic design and implementation. With both mechanical and electronics background, I could now invent, test and bring quality and reliable product concepts to fruition at the lowest cost possible. Often aided by re-purposing existing items to be utilized in my newly designed products to reduce R&D cost, and the time it takes to be first to market.
In my earlier years up to age 30, I successfully developed patentable new products for Siemens (Medical Device div.), Bendix Electrodynamics (US Military Vendor), Echlin Corp. (largest Automobile Aftermarket Parts Mfg.) and the Aerospace and Racing Industries. At age 30, I was done with Corporate America, began to create my own future.
At the age of 56, I am a proven successful entrepreneur of 25+ years experience, small business owner, manufacturing engineer and consummate realist.
Product Concept to Market Success is what I do best.
Please contact me directly, if your interested in sharing future successes together.
