5.0 out of 5 stars DAP and dogs, June 5, 2008

I'm very pleased with my purchase of DAP. It was shipped very quickly. Like everything else, it works for some dogs and not for others. I got it to see if it would make grooming more excitable, anxious dogs easier. It did for the most part. I sprayed it on my smock and refreshed it every 3 hours. All of the dogs were very interested in sniffing where I sprayed the DAP. Most of them calmed down right away, with one nearly falling asleep. One or two remained anxious. All in all I rate this product highly but do caution that it just won't make a difference with some dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Product Seems May Have Helped A Very Anxious Dog, November 7, 2008

I was skeptical that this product would work for my foster dog, who became very anxious and fearful in a moving car. I was determined to help him get over his fear, knowing this would help him find his forever home. I tried this product at the suggestion of a dog trainer, knowing it does not work for some dogs.

The dog regularly screams and cries in the car. I have taken him in the car twice since I bought the product, and also gave him a chew to play with in conjunction with the spray. I was dumbfounded that he was calm as could be, with not a peep uttered during both car rides. I actually had to stop and check that he was actually in the back of the car, he was that quiet. I had tried the chews alone before, and while he was better, the spray seemed to really do the trick.

This sweet little Brittany will be going to visit a prospective new home this weekend. The new family expressed concern about his car behavior, but I now will be able to tell them honestly that the dog has gone from D-car behavior to an A+, and will recommend they utilize the DAP spray.

Postscript: My foster dog is happily living in his new home, with experienced Brittany owners. He now rides in a large crate in their SUV, and frankly this seems to have been the best long term solution for this dog. He simply feels much more relaxed and secure in a crate than in an open car.

In terms of the spray, I suspect it will work for some dogs and do nothing for others, as my trainer told me.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Worked For Our Dog, December 14, 2007

We got it for our dog (a beagle puppy) and he definitely responded to it. I was doubtful, so I was surprised by how noticeable his response was. He, like many dogs, has separation anxiety. This was, I think, partly from being crated too much by his previous owner and partly because he's a beagle and a dog. We found that spraying it on the bedding in his crate helped him--he seemed calmer. We also sprayed it on his beds to help him settle during the day. I don't work outside the home, so crating is not a daily thing so I don't know how this would work on a daily basis.

Mind you, I don't think it's a magic bullet--although it seemed to help him settle I don't think it would turn a red zone dog with serious aggression problems into Lassie.

Things to know: the spray is mostly alcohol so you have to let the alcohol evaporate off before having them get on the bedding. Also, you may want to avoid breathing the fumes. YOU won't smell anything, and I don't know if they actually register it, but I think it works.
