My dog suffers with a tremendous amount of fear whenever it is windy outside. She keeps me up all night crying and shaking. I tried this coat for her and it did not help her. I have no doubt that it may work for other dogs but just be aware that it does not work for all dogs. I had no problem returning it and getting a refund. I did have to pay shipping and handling though.

My dog has higher levels of stress but I cant keep it on her all the time for when she may or may not happen to panic. This is only for dogs who are predictable.

We have an older Husky-Heeler mix who's always been a little on the anxious side but never had a lot of problems with being left alone at home all day. In the last year or so we have moved a few times, and she has gotten noticeably more nervous, walking, pacing, and panting all the time even when we are home. As one would expect, this led to bathroom issues during the day, which we have mostly resolved with crate training and a healthy dose of Proin. I doubt these pheromone collars would ever completely calm an overactive or anxious dog, but they definitely help bring her anxiety down a notch and keep her comfortable. She will now settle down and relax much more quickly instead of constantly whining and pacing. I especially notice at the end of the month when the collar wears out and she's more anxious again. If your dog is peeing/pooping in the house, tearing up your stuff, or otherwise being a danger to your home and themselves, GO SEE YOUR VET FIRST, as well as a dog trainer, as this collar will NOT fix training problems or high-level anxiety. There is no shame in using medication or training to ensure your dog is calm and happy in their own home.

My dog enjoyed the dentastix, but grew a set of hideously freakish human appearing teeth.  Smiles grotesquely now and I'm afraid to go to sleep at night for fear of seeing those uber white, practically glowing teeth in my nightmares.

I have a 4 year old German Shepherd. She was a rescue that we found was never socialized, amoung the other horrors that were done to her. She's also a very dominate personality. We have a chain link fence that stands 42" high in the back yard, with a creek behind our property. When people walk on the "greenbelt" she feels the need to put her front feet on the fence, while barking fiercely. I had to stop this behavior. We tried making her come in, yelling at her, everything but actual force. She would also stand on the fence when the children next door were outside, barking at them. She actually scared the youngest one. We had to stop this behavior.

As a last resort, we bought a shock collar for her. This one is her second. The first got sprayed with water, which killed it. This one is half the cost of the very same item at a major "take your pet shopping" store. The beauty of this collar is the 2 step feature. It has the noise to distract her, which stops the unwanted behavior. She no longer stands on the fence, because she knows she'll get shocked if she does. Her behavior is good even wearing it, because she remembers. I also like the adjustable volt feature. It comes with longer prongs that can be put in, for the dogs with longer, thicker fur.

The only bad part about it is it's hard on batteries. It takes the medical style batteries for the unit on the dog, but they are available everywhere.

I believe my wife has developed a phobia of this thing. It truly frightens her, and she believes it can see her. She awakens abruptly in the night screaming and screaming. "Night terrors" the doctor told me with his hand on my shoulder. "Probably brought on from the dinosaur. I'd get rid of it if I were you." he tells me. He's right, I probably should, but I won't.

Dog can wiggle out if over excited, regardless of how tight it is. Otherwise serves purpose. Dog is greatly afraid of harness.

I thought my dog was a hopeless case.  He was bit by dogs before so his fear aggression has gotten more and more out of control.  It's so embarrassing and stressful to take him for walks or read at a coffee shop patio because he would charge and bark at EVERY SINGLE DOG that passes.  He doesn't bark when he's left alone at home or occassional in my car (windows are always open for ventilation of course), but if I tie the leash by the coffee shop and go in to order a coffee, he started barking immediately when I walked in until I come out of the coffee shop.  It created SO MUCH stress when I take him out.  He also barked whenever anybody walk past my apartment and I had to scream and yell many times for him to stop barking.  I just put this bark control collar on him today and WHAT A MIRACLE!!!  After the third dog past while he was wearing the collar for the first time, he did not bark at any dog that past by again!!  Also when I tied his leash on a light pole and went into the coffee shop and watched through the window to see if he was still barking.  He barked several times then he stopped!!!  Then when I came home, there were neighbors past by, he also only barked a few barks and then he stopped!!!  I cannot believe how effective this collar is!!!  I highly recoommend this to any dog owner who has a dog who just won't stop barking!

Unfortunately this bark collar malfunctioned while on my dog and he was crying and shaking in the back yard as it was continually shocking him.  When I tried to get it off him, it shocked me too.  I did not feel comfortable putting another one of these on him again.

I have a German Shepherd that was in a puppy mill for the first 5 years of his life. He's very well-behaved and well trained, but the one thing he can't get over is his intense fear of people. When we go on walks, if he sees someone, he barks while hiding behind me and pulling away. If someone passes on a bicycle, it's even worse. I purchased this to have more control over him in these situations, and to keep him in sit while people pass. He hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet, but there is definitely a lot of improvement! I think with consistency and hard work, and the head collar, he will be able to handle having people walk by him without being terrified. It's a very big deal for me, since we've worked so hard with him to help him be a normal dog and not be in constant fear. This was a great purchase!

I was a non-believer. My dog has exceptionally severe separation anxiety and thunder/fireworks/lightning/loud noises/military exercises just absolutely destroy him. He lays fully on top of me, pants, pees, cries, etc. I ordered this for the Fourth of July (with fireworks at my next door neighbors house) and he was as happy as a clam. Within five minutes of putting it on, he was out cold. He slept most of the night, actually. Its weird magic.

It scares the crap out of my dog.  She will not even let me use it on her.  Very disappointing.

The only issue I have with the stand is that my pup's collar tag got stuck in it and then he flipped the bowls back onto himself, and now he's deathly scared of metallic sounds...

My dog a Chi and is scared of it.  The pieces are so big that he is scared to get into the box.  I tried staying there with him and hope he would go out of desperation.  He would not use the litter.  I tried moving his feces to the box when he did it on my floor.  He still showed to desire to use the litter.  I feel it was a total waste of my money.

my dog is extremely scared of thunder and lightning and starts shaking and pacing when she here's them. The calming coat works well enough to calm her down enough to assure her that everything is alright
