Title: D.A.P. helpful when combined with training
Product review: My dog becomes stressed when leaving home and encountering new people or situations. I found the collar helped reduce his stress, which then enabled learning to occur through training.D.A.P is not a "magic bullet" that will instantly resolve complex behavioral problems like severe separation anxiety with no effort on the part of the owner. In my experience, D.A.P. can help the dog calm sufficiently over time to begin learning new responses or behaviors.Initially, I used one of the DAP cartridges near the dog's regular sleeping place. I then added the collar while traveling and at weekly training classes where stress was an issue - not 24x7. The collar was left quite loose so close skin contact was avoided. My particular dog did not have any reaction to the collar.The combination worked well for us when paired with active training and behavioral modification.
