Dog Anxiety Wrap

The Anxiety Wrap uses a technique that is called "maintained pressure" to help to calm your dog. The wrap applies light pressure to a large area of the dog's body and helps to aid in the transmission of different sensations to a dog's brain. The change in focus can help the animal to calm down and modify his behavior.

This is similar to a technique that is used for both adult and child autism patients to provide a calming effect to them.

Anxiety wraps have been used for a number of stressful situations and phobias that your dog may have. An anxiety wrap has been used for such purposes as animal-to-animal and animal-to-human socialization, increased balance, self confidence and preparation for training.

There are also a number of problems that result from anxiety, fear or hyperactivity. For example, many dogs are scared of thunder and react strongly whenever there is a storm in the area. Additional problems include constant barking, car sickness and travel anxiety, fear of noises such as fireworks, destructive chewing, whining, hyperactivity, leash pulling and fear biting. People have had success with their dogs in each of these areas.

People report variable effectiveness depending upon the individual dog and the situations. Some of the comments that I have seen include:

"My 5 year old dog is really afraid of noises such as fireworks and thunder. With this shirt, he recovers much more quickly after each event."
