Ideal for flower beds, pools or ponds, the high-tech device helps keep pets a safe distance away. The Pawz Away Outdoor Pet Barrier is a smart device that is disguised as a small rock. When placed in a garden or next to a pond, the device sends a spherical radio signal that is picked up by a [receiver attached to the animal's collar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-collar). If the pet nears the protected area, he or she will feel a progressive static correction that will startle them, but not cause any harm. This unpleasant connection will thus teach the animal to stay away from the protected area. With the ability to cover up to 16 feet in diameter, the [electronic pet barrier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signs) is a great option for the average backyard area. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Smart Pet Barrier:** Opportunity for developing smart devices disguised as ordinary objects to keep pets away from specific areas in outdoor spaces. - **Progressive Static Correction:** Potential for creating innovative methods to train pets using progressive static correction without causing harm. - **Wide Coverage Range:** Opportunity for designing electronic pet barriers with larger coverage areas to cater to larger outdoor spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pet Technology:** Potential for pet technology companies to develop and market smart devices for pet training and safety in outdoor settings. - **Landscaping and Gardening:** Opportunity for landscaping and gardening businesses to offer solutions that protect gardens and outdoor spaces from pets. - **Home Security:** Potential for home security companies to expand their product offerings with pet barriers that also serve as a deterrent for unauthorized entry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Pet Care Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsafe-1.md) - [Stress-Reducing Pet Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsafe.md) - [Ultrasonic Pet Pest Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tickless-ecopet.md) - [Virtual Dog Leashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heel-roam-350.md) - [AI-Powered Anti-Bark Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibark-collar.md) - [Obstacle Avoidance Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uahpet-iretriever-dog-ball-launcher.md) - [Exterior Dual-Filtration Pet Fountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-water-fountain.md) - [Virtual Fencing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-fencing.md) - [GPS Pet Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petcube-gps-tracker.md)
