Does it work on dogs during storms?

Yes, it does work. I recommend putting it on earlier because it takes a few minutes to work. Otherwise it works well. Thank you

You know, I haven't thought to try it on my dog. She's fine with storms, but I can't bring her in the car to drop my son off to school or a friend's house. She freaks out and acts like I'm the worst mom in the world and I'm abandoning him in some strange place. Thanks for the idea. If it works for her anxiety, it should work for storm anxiety.

The way I understand it's use is it will if you give it to them at the on set of the storm. It's best if given several days before, which of course is difficult with storms.

I have read that people use it for their dogs during storms. I had a dog that was terrified of storms but unfortunately I didn't know about Bach products while he was still living. At that time. I was medicating him with Prozac and melatonin but I wish I could have tried Bach. Sorry that I can't be more help with your question It does calm my dogs but I don't have a case at this time where I have tried it for extreme anxiety.

We have three dogs, Fiest (short hair) Lab/Border Collie {lota hair) and Australian cattle dog (70 lbs) they live in house in ETX and it rains a lot in winter an spring, I hang our Shammy on hook in utility rm and wipe all three as they come in all day long in inclimate weather and it works, just wipe hang to dry and launder as needed to be ready for nxt go-a-round. Really soaks up the moisture and the dogs stand in line for fluff-dry! klr

As others wrote, these are made with various herbs. My dog is terrified of thunder and fireworks, and these work well to calm her down. We can anticipate fireworks on July 4, and can often tell when a thunderstorm approaches, so we will give these to our dog about 20-30 minutes before we expect the noises. They work best when given before the fact, but can also be given after the dog is already upset. 3 of these work well for our 55 pound collie when given ahead of time. 4 are needed when treating after she becomes fearful.

I put mine on a german shepard,it really worked good,it worked to good,it zapped my dog so much she only wore it for 5 minutes.if it doesnt do what you want,when your wonderful dog barks grab him by the scurff of the neck until its almost off its feet and say no,it hurt me to do this but her parents use that method in the wild.it really works. merry christmas.

I have a yellow lab with a thick coat. It works good on him. Make sure you use the longer prongs though and make sure you work the collar so the prongs actually are touching the skin. Don't leave it on the dog all of the time though. Not only does the dog get to where it will only respond when it's being beeped or shocked it can cause redness and sores where the prongs are. Hope this helps.

It will work on the dog hair but I'm not sure about the humidity or rain. My best guess is maybe . . . have you thought about a good water resistant stain? Those get very sticky before they dry and once dry would provide a great barrier.

I used it for my dog pen. I bought a grounding rod, insultors and the wire and 3D batteries. The charger is sold by itself. Rain does not stop it from working. For the birds, it depends how they land or touch the wire. If they touch the ground and wire it could kill them, but just the wire itself they are ok (birds land on high voltage power lines all the time, but they are not grounded, so they are ok). Best bet is ask Havahart.

Yes, another dog barking can and will trigger the correction. In fact, if you lean to close to your dog and talk to him it can trigger it. It is very sensitive. Not sure about the weatherproof capabilities, my dog only wears it briefly. The prongs are about a half inch, but are mostly coated in rubber except for the tips. I like the the unit for what I need it for (driving in the car my dog would screech like a banshee when he got excited, which would lead to him attacking the other dogs, so this keeps him in check) hope this helps!

Yes, but not to leave out in the rain. It has electronics in the nose that make the running hoof sounds and the whinnying sounds, so that wouldn't be good in rain either. The 4 large springs are covered with heavy cloth but it isn't really weatherproof. The cloth protects little fingers from getting pinched.

No this gadget doesn't even work on my dogs, they bark right over the very highest setting, it bothers me more than them, don't waste your money! I ended up buying citronella spray collars. It sprays the dog's nose when they bark, works like a charm. I don' even have to turn it on to spray anymore, they just wear the collar and I have complete silence. This of course does not help you with your neighbor's dogs, but you might suggest he/she or you gets one for them, because it's gentle and they learn super fast...

No. Although I have kept mine on my dog when she was outside in light rain, I try not to. One of our first 2 collars was damaged by a fairly small amount of liquid. (The second one broke when I pulled on it, instead of her collar... oops!)

I use it for stray cats, I suppose it also works on dogs..however we have a leash law here and their owners pick up their mess..Only problem is that it's only effective for 3-4 days, unless it rains then has to be reapplied...

I tried it specifically to discourage dogs. I spread it per instructions . . . no rain . . . and within 24 hours the dogs (reinforced by their irresponsible owners) left notice that Critter Ridders did not work.

More than likely it would. It worked very good on my shelties. The only thing is, once I saw/heard the dogs getting shocked, I couldl not leave it on them. Most of the time we were using the vibration mode.

Not waterproof. Would not hold up in storm I dont think. We have a little shih tzu and she chewed through the bottom. I sewed once and she got it apart again. Only lasted about 3 months and I used it inside.

My 85lb 10 yr old dog suffered from stress from thunderstorms and would start pacing and shaking whenever a storm began. Hse's been on this product for about 6 months now and there's a noticeable difference. It has reduced her anxiety by about 70% - 80%. She still gets a little stressed but nowhere near as bad as she was.

no, my doggie has used it for quite a while (as have my friend's dog) and the results are always good, the do not get immune; and actually the results seem better as time goes by. I think that is because we have learned to put the shirts on them at the VERY FIRST hint of a storm, and doing that early, really helps. The problem is if you wait too long to put the shirt on, if the storm is full blown, then even with the shirt, the dogs have a hard time calming down.
