Guest brit1 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Just wondering how many people have found it helpful to play a CD like "Through A Dogs Ear" for anxious dogs? If so which one was helpful, they have 3. I also saw a lot of recommendations for a CD called "The Divinity of Dogs" with people claiming it was also helpful. Thanks brit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 For years we have kept Janet Marlow's "Zen Dog" CD playing most of the time and I swear it has calming powers. I recently found this link for Through a Dogs Ear and have been meaning to share it. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin. AnnIE Oooh M Angels: Pal .

GreytHoundPoet Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I don't have dog specific albums but I have found that my yoga and dance music soothes the Thunder phobe in our house.

Yoga/meditation music is the only thing that puts my infant niece to sleep. It is indeed magic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_daerr Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Haven't heard about this CD, but my vet recently recommended a white noise box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OPointyDog Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 We use Through a Dog's Ear. Our CD is a few years old - I think probably just their Volume 1 It's just classical music played slowly and sedately on a piano, with a very even volume. Very soothing and calming. Originally we got it to soothe Mika's barking at night, but it didn't really help with that. It did help with Zoe's thunder phobia, though. We use it when we know there will be storms overnight. I've even used it for naps sometimes - it makes me sleepy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowsmum Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have through a dog's ear. I don't think it did much for either of my dogs at all. We now leave on talk radio (NPR) and plenty of fans to make white noise. The CD was lovely, I play it for my students at work. I don't know about them, but it calms me, LOL. :-) If at all possible, borrow a copy before you (possibly) waste the money. It's a classical/piano music cd, I did not personally find it to be anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chickenpotpie Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Since I'm an amazon prime member, I generally turn on one of my classical playlists. I still need to put something over the poor dogs head though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3greytjoys Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just wondering how many people have found it helpful to play a CD like "Through A Dogs Ear" for anxious dogs? Just saw this thread. We have (and love) the iCALM device (lasts 4 hours). http://throughadogsear.com/icalmdog/ We also have the full CD set, but if you don't have a multi-CD player, playing time is limited to your player. Each CD's duration is approximately one hour. Agree that it puts humans to sleep nicely too! We rarely have any thunderstorms, so can't comment on the noise phobia series. I'll add that the iCALM series we have is not as great for loud fireworks because there are too many silent pauses within and between songs. Non-stop, lively music with many instrumental/note changes works better to drown out loud fireworks. That coupled with white noise (like from a loud fan) works great for us. Thunderstorms are different since electromagnetic fields are thought to play a role with thunderphobic dogs. Some dogs (but not all dogs) benefit from a Thundershirt too.

Banjoman Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 When one of my whippets started to get frightened at thunder & fireworks I started playing music CDs to "disguise" the sounds, the only trouble then was that when I played music at any other time he started showing the stress signs - he had learnt that music = bangs!
