Since adopting a rescued dog with separation anxiety, I have come to know a lot of the canine soothing strategies and music. This book is filled with fascinating information about how both dogs and humans respond to the sound in our environment. The CD Through a Dog's Ear is my favorite of the 10 or more canine soothing CDs I now own. Not only do the dogs seem to enjoy it, every person who has heard it has commented on how relaxing the music is. I rotate through my other canine soothing CDs, but this CD stays in the CD player all the time.

I love this CD! And so do my dogs! Wow, its so great. Very relaxing music, so I can enjoy listening to it too. Within 20 minutes of putting this in, all three dogs - even the hyper puppy - are laying down and chilling (: And believe me that is a rare moment in a house with 3 dogs.
What a great tool for problems like separation anxiety too. I can't wait till they come out with more!

Since we have been using this cd my dog's are calm when we come home after a long 8-9 hours at work. In the past they were restless and tense waiting for us. They got into things and seemed lonely. Now they are peaceful and calm. They only start to get excited after we are home. This sure beats giving my one dog a doggie prosac to keep here calm to help her separation anxiety.. The trick is to put it continuous repeat all day.

This CD is amazing - works on my dogs, me, and hyper grandkids too! While visiting my brother with one of my dogs, I was concerned because my brother's house is like a museum - beautiful decor, expensive furnishings, artwork from all over the world, and there was my Belgian Sheepdog pacing around, a bit nervous being in unfamiliar surroundings. I asked my brother if I could play my Through a Dog's Ear tape to calm
my boy, and he laughed and said, "You can't be serious!" I said, "Just watch." I popped the CD into his mega surround-sound system and in less than one minute, my
dog was peacefully lying on the living room floor by the couch and looked like
he had lived there all his life. We even took pictures and my brother AND daughter
who was with me, too, were amazed. The only problem... I can't play it in the car
because it relaxes humans too. So don't drive and listen to this CD at the same
time... J Boswell

This CD is sensational. The music is beautiful and our 2 high-strung terriers relaxed very quickly when we put the CD on. We playeed it in the car as well as at home, and after only a few weeks they seem calmer even when the music isn't playing. It should be a part of every dogowner's essential care kit.

This is my french bulldog Oliver. He had spinal surgery about 6 weeks ago and is still recovering (hence the diaper). At any rate, it is important to keep these guys calm during the recovery period, and Oliver suffers from separation anxiety. I have to keep him confined to an ex-pen when I'm at work, and he does not like it one bit. This cd was recommended to me by my vet, and I have to say I was kind of amazed. I put the music on and well, he fell asleep. Also nice to have on in the background while I'm home, as it relaxes him and he doesn't have to be under my feet all the time. He will actually just lay there while I go into another room, which is unheard of for Oliver! The only downside is that it can make me sleepy too :)

My nine year old dog has recently developed separation anxiety when left alone at home. Unfortunately, she chooses to show me how she feels by peeing inside when I'm gone! I bought this CD and played it on a loop for my dog while I was gone a couple of hours. For the first time in ages, there was no mess in the house when I returned. Now I play the CD every time I have to leave the house. I had been taking my dog in the car with me everywhere but can't do that now that the weather is getting warmer so this CD is a real blessing!

I have a CD similar to this that has tracks of classical music meant to calm your dog. It truly does work and not only is it peaceful for the dog it's very peaceful and relaxing to listen to yourself. My Dogs who are usually wrestling each other or clamoring in the hallways instantly quiet down and lay in their beds in what seems like a trance. They become so calm it's amazing. Even after the music is off they seem more relaxed and not so hyper as usual.

We have two very needy dogs, both with an abnormal attachment to my husband. Each time we leave the house, the smaller of the two would dehydrate himself barking for my husband to return. Since bringing this CD home, both dogs are calmer and even sleep when we're gone. It is definitely worth the price.

I bought this CD for my golden retriever. She does not have any separation or anxiety issues, but I was looking for something that I could play for her at the end of the day or when I am out running errands. Every time I play this cd for her she lies down and falls asleep and seems to be completely relaxed. The cd is enjoyable and I will put it on for myself if I've had a long and stressful day. I definitely recommend this cd to anyone looking for something to soothe and calm their pet. I plan to buy the other cd's in this series as well because I like this one so much.
