A sheet of flexible transparent material that is coated on both sides with non-permanent adhesives. The coating on one side is designed to adhere to typical coverings, such as tile and carpet, and yet be easily removable at will. The coating on the other side is preferably stronger, designed to stick to the paws of an animal stepping over it and require a forceful and unpleasant effort for the animal to free itself from its grip. After repeated encounters with the device, the animal is trained to stay away from it and from the location associated with it. The sheet of adhesive material can be cut to the desired shape to conform to the particular needs of the area or object selected for protection.
