.@my_petcareguide I promised everyone a review of the @DebMendez calming collar once I had a chance to try it.

We received it in the mail this morning--that was fast!

My first impression is "GREAT! I'm not going to be allergic to THIS 'fix'!" It doesn't smell like flowers the way so many other tranquility items do. It's got an herbal smell that doesn't make this allergy sufferer start one of her sneezing fits. This means it's not going to bother me in the RV either!

Well it's a nice, warm day here in Middle Tennessee, so sure as the guarantee of death, the target shooting starts. This is the BIGGEST problem we have with Barkly. So when it got almost time for his afternoon walk (5 minutes before), I put the calming collar on him. I have to add, it looks cute as all get out on him too!

We head outside. As soon as he gets on the patio steps, BANG, BANG, BANG! He looks up, and just keeps on going down!!! Now how's THAT for immediate success??? His ears stayed up, his tail stayed up, and there was no indication at all of his usual bolt back to the door!

The weekend target practice that goes on almost every weekend, all year long, especially on warm days, is OBVIOUSLY NO LONGER an issue! Since this has been his biggest issue, I feel that the Calming Collar will work on ANY of his noise-fears.

I DID also turn on the vacuum while he had it on, and no reaction from that either. The only downside I can see is that Vlad seems to want to try to get it away from him--I think to eat like he does with every other stuffed thing he can get his mouth on.

If I find any of the issues he has, that I can't test on right now--thunder and fireworks--aren't fixed with the Calming Collar, I WILL write another review for you all, but with the lack of reaction to the gunshots, I doubt I'll have to do that.

So, for the Calm-Me-Down Calming Collar from @DebMendez http://www.calmingcollars.com Dee says Barkly gives it four paws up!

Barkly and Dee DEFINITELY recommend this to others!
