We have 2 rescue chihuahua's. One of them is constantly a barker when my adult son comes into our home and will not stop regardless. He also has the highest level of separation anxiety when I am not with him.
We bought this calming collar hoping it was the answer to our delima as my husband had to stay home to dog sit instead of attending a baptism.
My husband put the collar on him 1 hour before I had to leave for church as we knew I would not be home for 6 hrs. When I came home my husband told me he only wimpered a few times and watched for me if a car went by.
We went to my sons house the next day to visit and the dog barked 4 times and was done barking.
I and my husband can't believe how this collar could make our dog so well mannered so to speak. Get this collar and your life will be what you want it to be. This collar works for us. Great collar.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought this product for my pitt that had problems with anxiety and when strangers would come to the door, she would bark like crazy and to the point where she would nip at them. I love my pitt and getting rid of her was out of the question. Using this product has calmed her down a lot and in conjunction with the Stop that spray, its like she is a completely different dog. She no longer barks at people walking by and when people come to the door, she just sits on the couch and isnt worried about strangers. I highly reccomend this product in conjuction with behavior modification you can have the calm pet that you desire!

Both of my dogs are high energy, and barkers. The collars don't get rid of all the anxiety, but they help tremendously and they smell good too.

I haven't decided yet if this does work, but it does smell nice. My dog has been wearing it about 10 days and it's still on, so that's a plus. Overall he does seem a little calmer, but still has his totally crazy moments that I can't control. I'll keep using it to see if it has a long-term effect.

Bella, my 2yr. old adopted Minpin has separation anxiety due to my long periods away while I'm at work. She started chewing up her bedding regulary and gave me a scare when we thought she had a bowel obstruction. We got passed that and knew I had change things. I started leaving her loose. However, she would still go in her crate and chew her bedding. I removed all bedding and she wouldn't lay in it but transferred her anxiety and started chewing a throw rug. A vet friend suggested the collar. What a difference!! Her behavior has changed dramatically. The same day I started using the collar (2-weeks ago) I started leaving my "dirty" t-shirts in her crate as bedding. She is still loose, but lays in her crate with the collar and the t-shirts. I can't believe how these two things together have worked!! Have not tested the collar as yet during thunderstorms or fireworks, but am hopeful it will help.
A money saving tip: When I sized the collar to her I was disappointed at how much waste there is as I only used 1/2 of the length. So I punched a small hole at both loose ends of the discarded piece. Fit a small wire tie through each end and tightend the tie so that both ends were flush with one another. I then cut the excess of the tie flush. The raised end of the tie should be on the outside so that it doesn't rub. Whalla.....I now have two collars the same size that I can slip over her head.

I tried the pheromone collar when I was taking my 4-year-old shih tzu on a plane for the first time. I trained him in his airline-approved carrier for a few weeks, and he was still panicking each time we placed him in. The collar was amazing. It completely calmed him down, and it smells amazing. I was worried about it being too large, but it was easily tightened and we just cut off the extra and placed it in the bottom of his carrier. Bonus is that it smells amazing to humans, too. I'm excited to see if it works as successfully during thunder storms, another anxiety-inducing event.

A month ago, I adopted a chihuahua who was used to having a lot of dogs around her. When we are at the dog park, she's fine. When she's home, she whines whenever you leave the room and no one (including her) has gotten a decent night's sleep in a month! She rips her wee pads to shreds and goes everywhere except where she should. Put the collar on her last night, not expecting anything different. She slept through the night! The wee pad wasn't ripped up! And she made it outside (for the first time) and did her "business"!! She's a different dog!! It doesn't get them drugged up or sleepy acting, just calm and friendly!! Hallelujah, we finally all got some sleep!!! Going to get more collars, immediately!!!!

I have a Great Dane puppy whom we're trying to sooth his anxiety while he is in his crate. So this collar shows up at my house and I open it up and this thing is so small it would fit around my neck much less his. I read the directions and looked on the box to see if I maybe ordered the wrong size but can't find anything that tells me i did. Also as soon as i GENTLY tried opening the collar out of its curl, it broke. This product doesn't really make any sense to me after reading the directions. Maybe i'm missing something but its definitely being returned.

This collar gave me terrible allergies!
All the product wore off the collar in 2 days. did not make my dog calm, actually made him very aggressive with other dogs. I've never seen him so aggressive.
Product flaked off all over house.

Collar Worked For Us!

I have a 5 mo. old Havanese who barked constantly when left home alone. I had tried a number of devices and methods (leaving bark collars as a last resort) to no avail. I put this collar on Sara about an hour before I left for work and I was amazed when I came home. She and the kitchen showed no sign of her previous telltale barking (always accompanied by drooling, tearing up the provided potty pad, and dragging the throw rug around). Skeptical at first, I reserved my judgement until the next day and was thrilled to find that the collar actually seemed to work for her. Maybe it's not for everyone but it's definitely working for us!

This little collar has a nice smell, but it didn't seem to calm my dog. It has a powder substance on it that flakes off everywhere (including all over the dog). Once the powder flakes off it basically just makes the dog smell nice. Okay, but would not purchase a second time.

Love the Good Behavior Calming Collar. My dog is high strung and shortly after I put the collar on my dog was a lot calmer and happier. The collars last a little more than a month. I always have another one ready to replace the old one. I have been using these for over a year and these collars are great for our dog and for us. Highly recommend!

I bought this collar for my Great Dane around the fourth of July. She gets very stressed out with all of the fireworks. She would pace and claw at the walls and doors and could not relax. Within ten minutes of putting the collar on her I could see a difference. She is so much more calm now. She is able to lay and relax despite all the commotion. Its amazing!! I would recommend this to anyone to try!

I have 2 rescue dogs who are pretty well-behaved overall. However, we did have some issues with car sickness, jumping on people, defensive behavior around strange dogs, and our one dog would snap if you touched her while she was sleeping. Since I got the collars, all of this has disappeared! We recently took a 12 hour car trip with no problems. We had 2 calm, well behaved dogs. The girls seem to be more content and relaxed. I definitely recommend this product!

On of my two rescue dogs is a slightly anxious, poodle/terrier mix. He's not a very good eater at all and barks quite a bit. These behaviors escalated once we moved from a house to an apartment, with kids playing outside and running up and down the stairs he would go in to fits of uncontrollable. Also with the stress of moving he stopped eating...some times not eating for up to two full days!
I took him to the vet because I could tell he was losing weight and he's already a really lean dog as it is. Nothing was physically wrong with him but my vet told me that he could not lose anymore weight. I was at a loss. My best friend has a dog that has extreme storm anxiety and she uses these and they work so well for her dog JD. I figured I had nothing to lose. Boy, this thing was like a MIRACLE! My little Seamus became his confident little self again! If he hears kids running up and down the stairs now he will lift his head, maybe let out one bark but all I do is say, "it's fine" and that's all she wrote. His eating has improved significantly and he's now gaining back some of the weight!
I figured I would test it out just to make sure and when they got groomed the last time I didn't put the new on on him right away and within a couple of days you could tell the difference. Once I put it back on him it was all fine again. I love this product and it smells AMAZING!
