This item was suggested by a friend so I checked the previous reviews and was somewhat sceptical as to whether it would work. We have 3 dogs who love each other to bits. However. have to say we are absolutely amazed in the difference of our dog, Meg. She is a Spanish rescue dog who was dumped at the side of a main road at 4 weeks old. We adopted her at 2 months old and is the most gentle and loving dog ever. She is now 16 months old, a fantastic dog UNTIL we leave her! The maximum we ever leave our dogs is 4 hours, and that’s after they’ve all had a 2 hour walk (off the lead) running and having fun.
Meg clearly suffers from severe separation anxiety and has previously ripped whole strips of wallpaper off the walls, ripped up a new stair carpet, totally destroyed a cage when we attempted crate training, chewed through skirting boards, curtains, tie backs, etc. We were at our wits end but rehoming her was never an option as she’s very much loved and part of the family. So, ordered this item and it is proving its worth every penny! First evening we went out for a meal to our local – we left her for 2 hrs and came back home to NO DAMAGE! I couldn’t believe it! We have since used the plug in on 5 evenings over the last 3 weeks and Meg hasn’t damaged or chewed anything!! We can now leave her for up to 4hrs without worrying about her getting stressed or destroying our home! If you’re dog suffers from separation anxiety I cannot recommend this highly enough. It has transformed our social lives and we have a much calmer dog!!
