Sentry HC Good Behavior Pheromone Dog Calming Collar, 1 count

I think this is a hit or miss for most people, and honestly on some days for my pup it seems it isn't working at all. He still stress chews every now & then, and will still chew things up when left alone. But like I said it's a hit or miss. He used to do it all the time till I got these collars & worked harder on disciplining/training. Combining this with exercise/mental stimulation works best I think. It works, just doesn't absolutely fix the problem.

I purchased this for a anxious older dog after supplements and training were still not helping when she was uncomfortable and over-alert in new situations. Since using the collar, she is able to relax more on walks, and in situations that used to make her visibly anxious. While this isn't a cure, it has helped to make her feel more at ease than anything else I've tried. The only thing I noticed was the smell of the collar- while not offensive- it was quite strong- and took me a bit to get used to.

I was a little sceptical about such a thing actually working, but it really helped out quite a bit with my chronically nervous MinPin. I have tried all the over the counter medications without hope. It's not a miracle, but she is now receptive to training.

Didn't really work with my dog, but been buying a calming collar for my cat and he has really improved. I trust the brand and know it does work but every pet is different. Wish I could rate more, but it just didn't work this time around.

I have a crazy 14 month old lab and this collar helps him be more calm. It doesn’t work 100% if the time and that could be due to his breed of being hyper active or the product isn’t as effective. I have seen him more calm than before and that’s a start! I can smell the collar and it’s strong at first and wears off after 2 weeks. It got on me but the scent smells great.

Otis is a 21/2 year old min pin I adopted him and from the start he has had many issues mostly with separation anxiety and nervousness. We kennel him when we are not home and he was peeing in his kennel almost every time. We have had a very constant schedule and he was typically only in his kennel for about 4 hours before I would get home from my lunch break and let him out and almost everyday same thing over again pee in the cage! Since we've received the collar we have only had one accident and I've noticed he is a lot more calm and does better on walks. I have been using for about a month and ordering my second one!

I really dislike the company that makes these collars, BUT I think they smell good (yes, it is noticeable but I wouldn't say as strong as some ladies' perfumes!) and I guess it doesn't hurt. I never noticed an issue when I was using it with my older dog (17 years) and younger two (8 and 2 years old respectively). My two year old is now 4 years old and both of her older brothers have passed away, so, I still buy these because I figure, maybe it helps with her missing them (she still looks for the 17 year old), and also it does smell good. She's on anxiety meds too, so I can't say how much is this product and how much is the medication, but she's doing better lately so.

We used the Sentry Settle Down collar years ago when we first rescued our Nelly. It made all the difference in the world. Before the collar we couldn't leave her alone due to separation anxiety. Once I put the collar on her I was able to 'door train' her to the phrase, "I'll be RIGHT BACK!" I did it in small increments and very soon she was fine staying home alone for an evening, and then for an entire day while we were both at work. The collar allows you to try behavioral modification with gentle commands like "I'll be RIGHT BACK!" and "STAY!", etc. Recently I ordered the Sentry Calming Collar because Nelly is stressed by thunderstorms. It has helped a great deal, to keep her from being destructive We used the Sentry Settle Down collar years ago when we first rescued our Nelly. It made all the difference in the world.

Thought this would help our dog with her anxiety and keep her from liking her skin. We kept it on for a week and saw no difference so we took it off.

Bought this a few weeks ago and it didn't work too great. I believe it really depends on how the dog is itself. My young Shih-Tzu Mix is a very hyperactive and outgoing dog, so I believe that may have been a reason why the collar didn't work for her. It doesn't work too well when she gets hyped up from seeing new people or with her behavioral issues. The collar smells great, but it just didn't work for her. For those who have very hyperactive puppies/dogs, I suggest using melatonin calming treats instead. I believe that in order for this collar to really work is if your dog is already pretty mellow, not super hyperactive.
