Collar for Small Dogs

We have a rescue yorkie who is highly strung and can get very aggressive. He has been wearing these collars for nearly a year now and we can absolutely tell when the next one is due and the calming effect on him is almost instant. However we also used to have a super needy miniature schnauzer and these had no effect on her whatsoever!

I don't normally write reviews but felt I should for this. This product gets a lot of mixed reviews. I have a Jack Russell who is a rescue dog from our local council run kennals. She is our 4th Jack Russell so we know the breed very well. We have had her 2.5 years and she is only 4.5 year old. Fire works scare her and make her pant and tremble. We have tried building her a den in a cage for her own space, holding her and talking to her the reassure her, medication which she will not take no matter how hard we try and hide it in treats / food etc and adaptil plug in also. None of these have worked. This collar is the same does not do anything. When we were at the vets for a yearly booster we spoke with the vet who said to get the collar. Which she said should also help in trips to the vet. As she gets stressed going to the vets also. I think next year we will talk to the vet about them giving her medication to combat the way she gets. In my view its a waste of money but not all dogs are the same the way humans are all different. This may work as some reviews have said but it may not. If you're happy to try fingers crossed you get a good result because it seems like that's the way it goes.

They work well for nervous and anxious dogs

Worked well our puppy seems more relaxed in his new space

Disappointed , it did not work on my dog

Update after 4 days of use: I'm devastated again - it only works for a couple of hours when the puppy is tired and he's back on normal... he's been barking and howling for the whole 3 hours after the first couple of hours (where it worked) when left alone... Not sure if I should give another chance at this and purchase diffuser or not :( -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am seriously about to cry out of hapiness. My 4 months old whippet puppy has a severe separation anxiety, which is likely to be because I got him during the christmas holiday where I made a huge mistake of not getting him used to be left alone. He would whine, howl and bark nonstop the whole time I was out, even if it was just for 1 minute. I had to figure out the way he can stay alone so I researched so much, read almost every article on internet about separation anxiety. Spent the whole two weeks during christmas/new years time working from home and trying to train him using all different kinds of methods including behavioural modification suggested by behaviourist but he just couldnt stay calm for more than 10 mins and bark and scratch the door which broke my heart as I really wanted him to be comfortable without me. I tried to ignore him a lot and crate train him etc so that he can be more independent, but he just continued to be clingy and anxious when left alone. Neighbours began to complain about the noise and I was getting so stressed and devastated as I really had to start going into office soon and I couldn't keep asking my sister to dogsit him during the day nor could I put him to daycare as he was too young for it. Apart from the behaviour modification I also tried: thundershirt, crate training and spray collar. Non of them worked, and I came across this while searching for my last resort solution. The same day I also consulted vet about the issue because I was simply desperate, and they also recommended this. But I was very very skeptical that this would work... It's the second day he's wearing this today, and as usual I gave him some toys and food and came out of my house leaving my facetime on with my macbook and iphone (which was why I knew he had separation anxiety). He normally would follow me to door and try to come out even if there were delicious food lying around at home, but this time he started eating food while I was coming out. Now that was the first surprise. He would then just eat it for 15 mins and didnt even notice that I wasnt around anymore. He then finished the food and he would just check out the door and entire house and realise that I wasn't around anymore, but he just went to his usual spot and just sat down elegantly. And after a couple of minutes he just went to sleep.... and it's been 2 hours. He's just sleeping, and if I make some noise outside, mimicking people passing by, he would wake up to listen, check out the door once again briefly, then go back to his usual spot and sleep again. I seriously just cannot believe what I am seeing right now. As I am out watching over him using face time now I am writing this insanely long essay review cause I am simply blown away. I never really write review especially not an essay like this but I just had to given the amount of time and money I've invested to cure him from separation anxiety and the stress I got over the past 3 weeks. Now, I am not saying this would work for every dogs out there, just like how thundershirt apparently does wonders to many dog with anxiety but did not do a thing to mine, but I highly recommend to at least give a go at this if you tried everything like me and really want to calm your dog long term (not using things like spray collar which doesnt calm your dog but rather scare them). This is seriously my life savour, will also purchase the diffuser as theis thing just works on my dog and it’s more than just worth it. Thank you so much Adaptil.

My dog of 8 has developed anxiety from higher pitched noises such as microwave, game show bells etc Ironically she is fine with fireworks! Brought this collar as hoped it would help her but after a few weeks of wearing nothing has changed so a waste of money for us! We have successfully used a cat version on our cats and hoped for the same positive results.

My dog has transformed from anxious to calm in a matter of days. I can't believe it. He went from barking excessvely at every bell, outside noise, bird landing on our roof, to chilled, just single barks quietly every now and again. I can't believe it took me 5 years to discover this. My dog seems so much happier now and it's made such a huge difference to the household.

My dog wore the collar for 1 hour and has been scratching non-stop for a day days. The Adaptil collar caused an allergic reaction. My dog is very uncomfortable. It was a mistake to use the product. I’ve been trying to find more information on side effects and there is not much on the web which in my view is more of a sign of lack of transparency than anything else.

Fonctionne bien

Ürünü bir ay kullandım ve tekrar sipariş verdim. 2 ay aralıksız kullandım ama benim köpeğimde etkili olmadı. Belki sadece evdeyken daha iyi uyumasını sağladı ama parkta agresyonu engellemedi.

Ho comprato due collari per i miei cani, per la notte di capodanno. Devo dire che per due anni di fila son stati più tranquilli. Ho speso poco più di 40€, in negozio quasi 60€, quindi prezzo ottimo. Ho letto recensioni inverosimili, e dato che coi cani ci lavoro vorrei fare chiarezza...Adaptil da solo non risolve i problemi comportamentali, serve a far stare il cane più tranquillo. Pertanto se il cane dimostra aggressività, vi fa la pipí a casa o vi distrugge il divano, mettendo il collare non risolvete il problema. Adaptil è quel "qualcosa in più" che deve essere associato ad una terapia comportamentale guidata da un esperto. Non ci sogneremmo mai di nutrirci solo di integratori, perché sono da inserire in una dieta completa. Lo stesso è per questo prodotto. Continuerò ad acquistarlo.

We did not observe variations for anxiety
