5.0 out of 5 stars Works for us, August 20, 2007

This review is from: D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) Collar for Medium to Large Dogs - 25" (Misc.)

Our 9 yr. old dog had occasionally been nervous but about a year ago it became extreme to the point he was shaking all over and would not leave our side. Our vet suggested we try this collar to see if it would help and it does. I think it took a couple days for his body to absorb enough of it that he became completely calm, but it has been very beneficial for him. At about 4-5 weeks of use we notice he begins to shake again and become timid so we put on a new collar. It has to be placed snugly around the neck so the body can absorb it. I don't know why he began to have such strong symptoms as an older dog. He was abandoned as a puppy and would act scared of certain situations when out on walks, but never as extreme or persistent as he did a few months ago. This has worked well for him and I'm glad to find it on line as it's about half the price as from our vets office.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unexpectedly Effective Tool, August 26, 2008

By 

Leebeelou (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) Collar for Medium to Large Dogs - 25" (Misc.)

I was desperate to find help for my 15 month old rescued siberian husky's separation anxiety. She was still struggling with being alone after many, many months of working with her using gradual separation techniques. I read mixed reviews about DAP's effectiveness, but decided to give it a shot anyway. I certainly did not expect miracles and actually fully anticipated it would have little effect on her behavior.

Within 2 weeks of putting it on her, I had increased the amount of time she could spend alone from 30 minutes to over 4 hours using gradual separation techniques and the DAP collar. This was remarkable! Not only is she calm while I am gone, she is no longer displaying overly-excited behaviors when I return.

I am very pleased with the effectiveness of this collar and would recommend it. It is important to remember that you still must work with your dog on separation issues. The collar does not 'fix" the problem. It is a tool for use during the behavior modification period that will help the dog calm itself more effectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!, June 29, 2008

This review is from: D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) Collar for Medium to Large Dogs - 25" (Misc.)

This collar is amazing. I think it's important to note the collar does not work immediately, at least not in my experience. But, after 4 - 5 days wearing it, it was noticeably kicking in.

I have a rescued year old Alaskan Malamute, who is petrified of me and anyone else. I built her a pen within my fenced yard and all she did was run in circles, for as long as 6 hours, when I let her. It was so sad to watch her. Her foster mom mentioned DAP, and I must admit, I didn't think much about it working, but figured it would be worth a try.

Within 4 days, I noticed her behavior changing. She started pacing less and less and now, after less than 2 weeks, she's actually taking naps in her pen. I thought maybe it was because she was getting used to me and the cabin, but my gut is telling me otherwise. I'm ordering more collars and also the diffuser. I don't want to take any chances of this poor girl reverting to her former self.

She's outside sleeping on the deck right now. That wouldn't have been feasible 2 weeks ago. I'm not saying it will work for everything. It hasn't helped her accept me yet, but it has definitely calmed her down. I'm very grateful for that.

I'm eager to see how it works on July 4th and through a thunderstorm. She wears it all the time and I think it's helping her find herself.

Thanks.
