Congratulations for you vídeo. It's a Very Nice tip. I used calming cap once and It was a Very Nice experience. The dog needed Vet Support and he doesn't accepted being touched for the Vet. We introduced a calming cap 2 weeks before the vet consulting, using cooked meat as reward and the consulting was perfect. Thanks for sharing good information.
Magda, I've had this calming cap forever! I think you can find them on Amazon, but you are right, the material isn't as nice. Good luck and thanks for watching
Hey, 30 minutes isn't too long. What does your dog do in the car? Sometimes crating the dog in the car, AND covering the crate so they can't see things flying by can also help. You could try giving them something extra yummy in the crate as well to create a fun/positive association. Or try a thunder shirt. It can help with anxiety. In my experience, it either helps immediately or not at all. We have a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/DkohO0G_OrI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TCR1ZBMl7UyuWyL1
@@EverythingDogunfortunately i can’t do crate. My dog barks incessantly in the car - she acts extremely excited to get in the car but when she’s in she just goes insane. Barking, running from window to window! When we get to where we’re going she’s almost unable to calm down for 15/20 mins. She’s a 7 year old golden retriever
@@SANEBLG Why can't you do a crate? The behaviors you are describing are often solved with a covered crate and something yummy. It contains the dog, and she can't see out the windows which can contribute to her emotional dysregulation. Have you tried giving her something super yummy in the car? A fresh beef marrow bone? A yummy bully stick (with a holder?) A Xlarge stuffed kong? Is this a new behavior or has she been suffering from this type of emotional dysregulation her whole life?
@@EverythingDog Thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately, until I buy a bigger car, she's too large for a crate her size. I know that this is poor preparation, but Bella is a rehomed dog that I had to take in pretty unexpectedly so this is all pretty new. She's 7 years old, and one of the first things I was told about her was that she "hates the car". I have tried really high-value treats, but the moment they're done she goes again. She's also a little overweight and I would like to be able to take her in the car daily. My calming cap actually arrived about 5 mins ago. I will test this, and consider a thundershirt as u suggested.
@@SANEBLG sounds like you are doing the best you can with the sudden taking in of the dog. When dog's are overweight, I don't skimp on treats, I reduce their meals, just like I would for myself. If I eat an icecream cone I won't have as much dinner. It all balances out. Give her time to adjust to her new environment as well. Good luck

Thank you for sharing your experience. This is a great example of where a calming cap can be very helpful. Good for you!
That's a perfect use and introduction for the calming cap and glad it provided your dog some relief!
Can it be used for short walk outings? My dog is sight reactive by dogs
That would be tricky and could cause additional problems since the dog can't see well at all.
Excellent tool
Thanks for a great video. Where did you get such a nice pattern?

@@EverythingDog I've never saw this one before, so thought it may be an improved version. 😄
Do you know where this specific calming cap can be purchased? thank you!
Or the brand of it ?
Melia, I've had this cap for years. I suspect you can find them on Amazon, but I don't know if they sell the nice patterns.
How long is not too long. My dog struggles in car… is 30 mins too long?
