Beware, No CD

The description of the product I purchased clearly states "with CD". No CD was with the book; the interior sleeve for it was empty. Extremely disappointed; my dogs can't read the text, not can they be calmed by my reading it to them.

Amazing - works on grandkids too!

This CD is amazing - works on my dogs, me, and hyper grandkids too! While visiting my brother with one of my dogs, I was concerned because my brother's house is like a museum - beautiful decor, expensive furnishings, artwork from all over the world, and there was my Belgian Sheepdog pacing around, a bit nervous being in unfamiliar surroundings. I asked my brother if I could play my Through a Dog's Ear tape to calm my boy, and he laughed and said, "You can't be serious!" I said, "Just watch." I popped the CD into his mega surround-sound system and in less than one minute, my dog was peacefully lying on the living room floor by the couch and looked like he had lived there all his life. We even took pictures and my brother AND daughter who was with me, too, were amazed. The only problem... I can't play it in the car because it relaxes humans too. So don't drive and listen to this CD at the same time... J Boswell

Through a dog's ears

Since we have been using this cd my dog's are calm when we come home after a long 8-9 hours at work. In the past they were restless and tense waiting for us. They got into things and seemed lonely. Now they are peaceful and calm. They only start to get excited after we are home. This sure beats giving my one dog a doggie prosac to keep here calm to help her separation anxiety.. The trick is to put it continuous repeat all day.

Interesting book and great CD

Since adopting a rescued dog with separation anxiety, I have come to know a lot of the canine soothing strategies and music. This book is filled with fascinating information about how both dogs and humans respond to the sound in our environment. The CD Through a Dog's Ear is my favorite of the 10 or more canine soothing CDs I now own. Not only do the dogs seem to enjoy it, every person who has heard it has commented on how relaxing the music is. I rotate through my other canine soothing CDs, but this CD stays in the CD player all the time.

music to soothe both canine and human

This CD is sensational. The music is beautiful and our 2 high-strung terriers relaxed very quickly when we put the CD on. We playeed it in the car as well as at home, and after only a few weeks they seem calmer even when the music isn't playing. It should be a part of every dogowner's essential care kit.

Great CD!!!

I love this CD! And so do my dogs! Wow, its so great. Very relaxing music, so I can enjoy listening to it too. Within 20 minutes of putting this in, all three dogs - even the hyper puppy - are laying down and chilling (: And believe me that is a rare moment in a house with 3 dogs. What a great tool for problems like separation anxiety too. I can't wait till they come out with more!
