Book Reviews of Through a Dog's Ear: Using Sound to Improve the Health & Behavior of Your Canine Companion
Book Review: Helpful Tool for Calming Dogs
Summary: 5 Stars
As a canine behavior consultant who specializes in fearful dogs and takes a holistic approach to behavior modification, I appreciate and recommend this book. The authors conducted experiments on over 150 dogs to find out which musical instrumentation, speed, and rhythm would cause dogs to relax. The dogs' heartbeats become entrained to the music, resulting in a rate that is conducive to the relaxation response. Dogs in home environments showed reduced anxiety, as did dogs in kennel situations. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that simply playing this CD will solve behavior issues in and of itself (although it certainly might for some dogs), but it is a useful adjunct to behavior modification, is easy for humans to implement, and will not cause harm. And who knows, it might even calm the humans in the house, which will in turn make for a calmer dog as well.
