is it good for aggression?

Yes. It doesn't work for all cats but in my house it has definitely helped tone down the aggression. It hasn't solved the problem 100% but it has helped. Our vet reports that while it doesn't solve the problem for all of their clients most find that it helps.

It's a toy, and as such can take hits from similar toys during play "battle". I would not expect it to hold up to serious blows or blows from more study "weapons". It will, however crack your knuckles pretty hard if you miss.

No. This is not for aggressive behavior. Females typically do not live well together no matter what you do. If they can not establish dominance, then the fighting will only get worse until one of them gets seriously hurt. I am sorry.

It might if done properly AND it could really make it worse too if your timing is off and your dog thinks the other dog caused the spray. Dog aggression is usually self defensive. Your best bet is to get a reputable dog trainer or to go to a training class specializing in dog aggression

I think it would. It's a behavior spray. I use it for my dogs barking. It is very effective. Even the sight of it now can get them to stop. It's definitely worth a try. Good luck!

I bought the Thundershirt to help with car-sickness and calm her when people came over. It calmed her down enough that she would not vomit in the car but she still paced back and forth in the back of my Suburban. When she wore it in the house she was calmer and seemed almost afraid of us. It's strange how it changes their behavior. When it came to aggression, she wasn't generally aggressive but she and the neighbors dog would run along the fence constantly and the shirt did not change that. Don't know if that helps. If you don't want to spend the money, maybe try to find a used one to try out. Also...make sure you get the correct size.

I'd say yes, within reason. It is stiff but has a cushioned layer - I think you'd need to intend to hurt your opponent. It is great for sword play - the best we've ever had for sword play.

We found it effective to spray it close to the face but not in the face. The noise is as effective as the spray. It took only a few incidents before the behavior stopped completely.

Some say it will keep the dog focused on him/her self. I would think it depends on the level of aggressiveness. If you have to walk your dog with a prong or dominant dog collar, I am sure this will not solve your dog's issues. I have an ACD and he was born to nip. This shirt caused him even more anxiety and it was returned. He acted as if he was constantly under attack in this shirt and if you have a truly aggressive dog, he may react the same way. Anxious dogs or fear biters are the most unpredictable. Save your receipt and packaging if you try this shirt so that you can return it to amazon. The manufacturer made me return it to the retailer. Also, be aware of the returns window... it is either 30 or 45 days and amazon's is the one that matters, not the manufacturer's. FWIW, I use a Micki Muzzle when going to the vet's office and having my dog around lots of strange dogs that could become "targets of aggression". They are cheap, well made and easy to put on and take off. You might want to try that for dog aggression. Good luck with your dog.

I am not sure if this will help prevent attacking other dogs however, for our dog the gentle leader calms her down a lot, she does not pull when you walk her, she rarely ever barks with it on; the GL is like using accupressure for the dog. We love it and our dog does not mind it at all, it is part of the regular routine when we go out.

It only help with anxiety issues, not behavioral issues. My dog still barks at people who come to the door, even when wearing wearing it, Sorry.

I acctualy bought it for that and it really works for the looks and stealth kills. But you cant definitely throw this to someone, they would end very bad injured. Still it has more range than a knife while contact killing!

Ok, I just have to say......I'm laughing my butt off here. I'm sorry, because I'm sure it's not funny for you at all. But to answer your question, I really don't know. I haven't tried it for that. In fact I have only tried to use it once (to stop a dog fight) and it didn't seem to phase them in attack mode. But I'd suppose there is less adrenalin when pooping. Good luck with the training.

I use it on my face occasionally, but gently. It may be too aggressive for some and is probably better suited for body use.

Joseph, with very unlikely to help with aggression. In fact, it could make it worse because they may associate the negative response with teh other dog and reinforce it. I would suggest a trainer and the use of positive reinforcement to help with aggression.

It should. I noticed a change in my cat. She used to get agressive sometimes, when I would be away or too busy to pay attention to her. Once I started using this, she is no longer agressive and seems much calmer and happier. It's worth a try.

From what I understand about the product...you use it as a deterrent when a "fight" has begun to create a startling effect/distraction. It is not like the anti-chew sprays that you can place on items to deter chewing. Again, we got only about 4 sprays from this bottle used at 10 second intervals as directed from a behavioral specialist.
