dap diffuser

[maidon]

has anyone tried this with their dog. our dog wets when we leave him - think it may be an anxiety thing and was wondering if we should try this?

[version girl]

i took the vets advice and puchased one as my dog was terrified of the noises made from fireworks didnt work in our case so maybe think of another remedy before forking out your money

[garner]

yes version/g we did the same for fieworks and it did not do any good at all for our two dogs

Provided you are not leaving him for long, have you tried putting him in a cage? It would give him a bit of security, and he is unlikely to wet in his'bed'.

may reconsider then - not sure about a cage though

Hi there, tried the DAP as well didn't work - the cage we have works brill - our dogs go in it even when it is left open and we are home - it is their bed and they love it.

You can get them from carboots we got ours for �10.

Good luck

I tried DAP for car travel but it doesn't work.

Don't think of it as a 'cage' (I tend to call it an indoor kennel) think of it as a 'den'. Some people hang a blanket over it so it is more like a cave. Most dogs love having a place all to themselves, I suppose its a bit like kids building a tent in a living room.

Make sure it is large enough for the dog to lay stretched out, stand up and turn around.

It does make them feel more secure and relaxed. Don't leave the dog in it for more than three or four (at the limit)hours though, and don't shut the dog in it as a punishment, otherwise the feeling of security goes.

As said previously leave the door open when you are home and the dog will probably go in there of its own accord.

thanks for all your replies - dont think of it as a cage now though - think of it more as a secure place so that may work
