ah i see

I would love to hear how the cape works for layla if you decide to get it!

That is so worth trying. And if it works for Layla, that would be a major selling point to everyone who has dogs afraid of storms like she is. I wish I had it years ago when we had a little dog who would run to the bathroom and jump in the tub. I was amazed to read in that article that dogs sometimes do that.

We have an acre of the property fenced, so it was very difficult to finally catch her and get her inside. We were all drenched! From that day on, she has been a mess during any storm.

If anyone tries this and it works, please let us know. I am skeptical about gimmicks unless I know someone who can vouch for them.

Oh how scarey for her. We don't have to chase Ramsey...one pop of a bottle rocket...her tail is tucked and she's headed inside.

I use oil of pepperment on the pad of my tootsies paws it works very well!! Oil of peppermint is very good for anxiety and fear also I use lavender room spray or a lavender infuser in room where she is. My sister uses the cape for her Chorkie and swears by it!!!! Best of Luck!!!!
