Special Collars for Calming Dog

In addition to the dog calming supplements and medications on the market recommended for soothing anxious dogs, there are several types dog calming collars available.

Aromatherapy herbal dog calming collars made by Calming Collars use fragrances of plant essential oils and aromatic compounds to affect mood and health of dogs. Made with attractive fabrics, herbal sachets are sewn into the collars so dogs continuously experience the calming herbs.  Three different herbal collars are available each intended to soothe a specific behavior concern.  Calm Me Down – the most popular style, calms dogs in stressful situations, Good to Go – remedies motion sickness, and The Cool Collar – you guest it is cools a dog's internal temperature in extreme heat.

Citronella collars are another type designed specifically for excessive dog barking.  The collar triggers and delivers a squirt of citronella when the dog barks. And as you can imagine, dogs, similar to many people dislike the scent of citronella, so they stop barking once they link barking with wearing the collar and smelling the offensive scent.

Another type of dog calming collar for excessive barking delivers a mild static shock when the dog barks.  Again, the dog learns by association that unnecessary barking causes this mild discomfort.  Versions of this collar even feature “bark odometers” that track the number of barks during the time the collar is worn.

Tone-emitting collar is another electronic dog-calming alternative.  The tone is activated by the dog’s bark. Humans cannot detect this frequency; however the tone is loud and annoying to dogs.  Some collars have a microprocessor that analyzes both sound and vibration to make sure the disturbance was caused by the dog wearing it and dog the noisy neighbor’s dog next-door.

Dog calming collars are one of the many approaches available for soothing dog distress. Whether you choose herbal supplements, aromatherapy, oral medication, clever technology or a combination of all of the above, the important thing is finding a method to effectively calm your dog.
