Dr. Sophia Yin's Manners Minder Remote Reward Training Machine
The Manners Minder Remote Reward Training Machine (formerly Treat & Train) has been an incredible way to work on behaviors such as barking at the door, jumping on guests, and begging at the table.

Are you frustrated with your dog's unruly behavior — excessive barking, jumping and making a mad dash when visitors come to your door? Now you can get your dog to behave appropriately, not with punishment but with positive reinforcement; by rewarding alternate good behaviors.

It's easy and fun, with the fabulous Manners Minder, a remote-controlled kibble dispensing system. This innovative device, when combined with a clinically proven training protocol and short, fun training games, will have your dog behaving beautifully in just a few weeks. He'll lie down calmly in a chosen spot when guests come to your door and in other situations where there are lots of distractions.

Thundershirt
The Thundershirt has become indispensable for many folks in order to treat their dog's fears and anxiety.

Whatever the situation that makes your dog anxious, fearful, reactive or over-excited, Thundershirt's gentle, constant pressure can bring calm and focus back to your dog. It is a terrific solution for many types of anxiety including thunder, fireworks, separation, travel, and crate anxieties. And, it can help with eliminating "bad leash manners" such as barking, pulling or showing reactivity towards other animals or people. The company notes that the Thundershirt is 90% effective for noise anxiety and about 75% effective for other types of anxiety.

 Thundershirts Can Help With Your Dog's . . .  

Fear of thunder, fireworks, or other noises  

Fear of strangers or new places  

Fear of being crated  

Anxiety during travel  

Over-reactivity to or fear of other dogs  

Hyperactivity or excitability  

Leash reactivity (barking at other dogs while leashed)  

Hypervigilance (scanning for threats, increased arousal)
 
 
     

The Thundershirt is a full body wrap designed to give your dog a gentle, but firm and snug hug during the time when noise anxiety stimuli are present. The physical sensation of wearing Thundershirt distracts dogs from focusing on their fears. Being wrapped gives dogs a feeling of safety and comfort. Soon after putting on her Thundershirt, your dog will likely settle down and relax. Many dogs will lie down and weather life with little to no further symptoms of noise anxiety.

Thundershirts work without drugs or training, the price less than a single visit to the vets, and just one Thundershirt will treat your dog’s anxiety for a lifetime. 

The Thundershirt is comfortable for your dog. Just check out the shirt on this sweet furkid. Washable, soft and stretchy navy blue material with Velcro adjustment, it is so wonderfully easy to use. We particularly love it for dogs who become stressed when they step into a veterinarian's office. Unfortunately, they readily smell the fear from the other animals there and appointment times can become quite taxing.
