Calming Collars III - Kelly Ann

The last report on the Calming Collars comes from Julia Orrell. In her words:

I have attached a photo of Kelly Ann wearing her calming collar.  It seems to be working well for her.  We are not having any thunder today, but there are people shooting out back of our house.  Kelly is still very much aware of the noise, but she is not frantically scratching at the back door to get in.  She is LOOKING at the back door though.  This is the only product/medication/therapy that has given her any relief from her phobias.  The collar has a strong odor to it, but I can't really say it's an unpleasant odor.  I'm glad to have finally found something that really works for her.

Calming Collars II - Willie B

Number two on the subject of Calming Collars. Willie B is Rachel Osborn's Guide Dog so it's very important that he be able to focus on his job and not worry about outside stressers. Rachel says she has already noticed a difference when they go out in how Willie B handles strange noises.

Calming Collars I - Mack and Alice

Calming collars were a subject of choice a week or so ago on the BML. These collars, infused with  natural herbs, are meant to help dogs better manage stressful situations.

In our first of three on this subject we get to see Laurie Watson's Mack and Alice. Here's what Laurie had to say:

Not sure what time the mailman came by, but my mailbox sure does smell nice now!

I think Mack just doesn't have the energy to spend trying to get the collar off since he's still not feeling quite up-to-snuff.  Mack just keeps scratching at the collar.   Alice, on the other hand, has been scratching at it, and rubbing on the floor and the furniture trying to get it off.
