Will this help with my mini aussie that gets over excited when people come to visit?

Yes! It is great! I have used them with my two English Bulldogs, one since she was a puppy and the other when I brought her home (he was 5). It has an immediate calming effect on mine. Love it!

It "may" if the excited is strictly an anxiety issue. Most of the time that is a behavior issue that needs specific training methods to improve (yes, I am a dog trainer). I do prefer the ThunderShirt style over this AKC brand style (I have tried both of them). It wraps different and is a little sturdier of a material, imo.

Hello Sherry, I have a Queensland Heeler that I place in my Cad Escalade. I taught him how to walk up the Tri fold Pet Ramp, It took a few times for him to get used to it, but its the best thing to happen to my back...no heavy lifting and the Ramp is easy to fold up...and take it to you destination and return...Sherry, you have two smart big canines that can be taught to do anything. The Pet ramp will be a breeze...just a little patience, that's all! Enjoy the Ramp! JWS

the dog may not hear so well due to breed. dogs over the years have been bread to do different thing for man. hunt by smell sight or sound. my unit works ok but there is a pack of small dogs next door.they do stop barking after a min or so. I wish my neighbors would just move I can only hope. Joe

The vibration button on this is supose to be allowing the animal to doing something, however, we have trained our 4 month old blue pitt when it vibrates for him to come to us. So yes I do believe this will help.

Yes ma'am; I actually purchased this for my friend that has a yorkie named Izzy. You have full control of the vibration or the small shock. Izzy responds now so much better that all my friend does is hold the remote and Izzy doesn't realize the collar is off. I do RECOMMEND taking off not leaving on all the time and reward your baby when they obey. GOOD LUCK! if you have any other questions please don't hesitate.

Possibly. This is an ultrasonic device so it will depend upon if your dog is responsive to the noise.

The only way to make it smaller would be to cut it off at one of the stabilizer rings. I am not sure how effective that would be, but it might work. My dog was still a puppy -- 6 months old when we got it for him. He had never seen one and went right for it. He loves it. He is about 19 1/2 pounds now and about 13 inches high at the shoulders. Good luck. Sounds like your pup is adventuresome! Good luck.

This halter definitely slows the dog down, but she still pulls a little. I think with some treats in hand she pays more attention to me, and my pace. Good luck.

It depends on how your dog responds to the pet corrector when he starts to bark. If he really responds to the sound when he barks then your chances are good that he will respond favorably with the beach and the birds.

I can't really help you. I bought this for my dog that left our house to live with my son in another city. It took along time to adjust and he was afraid to be alone in the apartment. They used this couple of times but later used different toys for him to adjust. Maybe this can help? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080119104042AATmooRI used this question:https://www.google.com/#q=when+dog+is+afraid+of+other+peopleI hope it helps...

yes, it seems to help her a little bit. She seems to be used to it and when she is really sore she always lift me her leg like to me like she want it on. I have a black lab and bought the largest size and it could be a little bigger. Also You really have to make sure you put it on snug or it will slip down.Hope this helps.

I think is going to be a little be small!!! I have 2 australian parakeets and I think it is the perfect size for them!!! maybe the tallest one it will be good for yours!!! :)

Sadly this will not help with the whining. Also if the dog is smart (as mine turned out to be), they learn that they can "get away with" a single bark so they stick to that. It did really help with the long running bark sessions which I'm delighted to say are a thing of the past.I feel like it was a good value for my dog and I. We get along much better when she wears it.There are dog collars with remotes which allow you to control the sending of the correction. That might help.Good luck!Alena

I don't think I would hear it if I wan't in the same room... but it didn't work for us since the cockapoo we were trying to train was petrified of the bells... every now and then our Westie will nudge them when he already is leashed up and waiting for the door to open!

I strongly believe the thunder shirt will not help aggression issues. This shirt helps - I can't say all dogs - but lots of breeds of dogs to settle down during stressful times or even when you leave the house and they stay home alone. Really really works on my German Shepperd I can tell you that. It also calmed my sister's dog a bit with his constant barking and going crazy every time someone came to the door. But aggression, no. Only the dog whisperer or training at Petco or Petsmart or other places that offer such training could help.

It did not for mine, though it has made him more social. This is more of a maintenance supplement that helps the cat over time. You have to give it to them 20 to 30 days before you begin to see any real difference.

sorry,cant rally comment as i dont have any dogs next door,but it does seem to have made a difference with my dogs,the secret is to turn it on at lots of different times,when your in as well as when your out so they never no when it's on
