Thanks for weighing in! We got some at a discount and were going to give them a try. As a trial run, I was actually going to use one on my own dog who suffers from separation anxiety and stranger danger, to see if there was any effect while using it in a home environment.
I'm a little skeptical, but funny enough, our veterinarian is really excited about it. She uses an Assisi Loop a lot and has had good success with it. Fingers crossed!

My dog trainer colleagues and I have not seen any success with it at this time. A common experience was also that wearing the device was stress-inducing for anxious/fearful dogs, despite gradual exposure and desensitization. I would be interested in hearing from others though!

Hello!
Has anyone had any experience with the Calmer Canine Anxiety Treatment Device? It's a device that is supposed to reduce anxiety in dogs through "targeted, pulsed electro-magnetic field therapy". They talk a lot about treating separation anxiety - which if it's true could be an amazing benefit.
Would love to know if anyone out there has tried this before and, if so, what your results were??
Thanks!
