How does it work?

Precision that will transform your training

AgiPad is an electronic training mat that instantly detects every paw touch and notifies you with a clear sound signal.
It works on capacitive technology – making it faster, more accurate and more reliable than standard pressure mats.
Whether you have a Chihuahua, a Border Collie or a Saint Bernard — AgiPad can register even the lightest touch.

And yet it remains incredibly simple: attach it, switch it on, calibrate… and train!

1. How AgiPad works

When a paw touches the mat, AgiPad:

instantly detects contact across the whole surface and at the edges
evaluates the touch according to the set sensitivity
emits a sound signal (volume is adjustable)
if you have a compatible version, it sends a signal to the treat dispenser, which immediately delivers a reward

All of this happens in a fraction of a second.
Training becomes more precise, faster and more repeatable — and that is the key to perfect contact zones.

2. How to set up AgiPad

Setting up AgiPad is simple and takes only a moment:

Steps

Attach the mat to the obstacle using the straps.
Connect the cable between the mat and the control box.
Switch the power to position I.
Hang the control box under the obstacle so it is protected from rain.

Done — you can proceed to calibration.

Note: AgiPad was developed and calibrated specifically for use on obstacles. Other uses are possible but not guaranteed.

3. Calibration – the key to accuracy

AgiPad automatically calibrates itself during the first 10 seconds after being switched on. You can influence the sensitivity by how you perform the calibration.

One mat – procedure

Turn on AgiPad.
Within the first 10 seconds, gently press the mat.
After the sound signal, calibration is complete.
Set the tone volume.

Tips

Maximum sensitivity: let the calibration run without touching the mat.
For small dogs (< 3 kg): we recommend maximum sensitivity or calibrating directly with them.
For heavier dogs: maximum sensitivity may cause false detections – standard calibration is recommended.

Two mats (2 Mats) – procedure

Turn on AgiPad.
Within the first 10 seconds, press the first mat – a confirmation beep will sound.
Release it.
Within the next 10 seconds, press the second mat – another confirmation beep.
Set the volume.

Important note: Do not touch both mats at the same time during calibration — this will result in incorrect setup.

4. Training modes A & B

AgiPad 2 can work with one or two mats. If two are connected, you can choose the mode that suits you best.

Mode A – One large mat

both mats work as one unit
signaling uses the same tone
after one beep it waits until the dog leaves the mat (One-Beep-Per-Run)

Ideal for training full contact zone runs.

Mode B – Two separate mats

each mat has its own tone
the second mat can signal even while the dog is standing on the first
One-Beep-Per-Run is respected separately for each mat

Perfect for advanced training and situations where you need more information about the dog’s movement.

5. How to connect AgiPad to a treat dispenser

AgiPad can communicate wirelessly with Petsafe treat dispensers. Available features depend on the version you own:

AgiPad Lite

basic version
no connection to treat dispensers

AgiPad Treat & Train

connects with Petsafe Treat & Train
set the same channel on both the dispenser and AgiPad
touching the mat automatically triggers a reward

AgiPad Teach & Treat

works with Petsafe Teach & Treat
easy pairing by touching the mat
ideal for automated training

After pairing, do not change the channel. If it is changed, the process must be repeated.
When using the JayPets Teach & Treat Remote, re-pairing is not necessary — just set the same channel.

6. One-Beep-Per-Run – why it matters

AgiPad signals only the first touch during a run
prevents unnecessary signals
ensures consistent feedback
ideal for high-speed runs

Tip: When testing with your finger, wait at least 0.5 seconds between to
