DIY Calming Cap

The Calming Cap for dogs is a sheer lightweight sleeve that fits over the dogs eyes to reduce visual intensity. It can help with aggression, reactivity in the car, or anxiety during veterinary examination or grooming. It is most effective when combined with training.

Most dogs are fine once you get the calming cap on, it's the application that can be scary. To make applying the calming cap fun for your dog, follow these simple instructions on my blog (http://maryhuntsberry.com/blog/2012/video-how-to-apply-calming-cap/).
