What is Adaptil Collar Junior?
The Adaptil Collar Junior is a specialist collar designed to help puppies and young dogs regulate their emotions in difficult situations. Activated by a dog’s own body heat, these collars emit an imitation of the pheromone bitches naturally release to calm and placate their litter.
Situations where Adaptil Collar Juniors may be appropriate include during firework displays and thunderstorms, when moving your dog into a new setting (i.e. holiday kennels or a different house), or around other dogs if it is not particularly sociable.
Adaptil Collar Juniors are specifically designed for puppies and young dogs.
What are the benefits of using an Adaptil Collar Junior?
The primary benefits of using an Adaptil Collar Junior are behavioural. This product mimics natural processes which have a calming effect on stressed, anxious, and fearful dogs allowing them to cope better with their surroundings. This in turn may allow for an improved quality of life as the dog benefiting from an Adaptil Collar Junior experiences less stress, fear, and anxiety.
As dogs become less stressed, anxious, and fearful, they often become easier to live with and demonstrate increased willingness to engage in new experiences. Behavioural issues such as separation anxiety and stress-induced incontinence chewing and scratching may also decrease.
An Adaptil Collar is particularly useful when puppies and young dogs are still being socialised and imprinting on the world around them. If experiences at this stage are pleasant and calming, then positive associations are likely to remain for life.
This product may improve focus during socialisation and training sessions.
How to use an Adaptil Collar Junior
To use an Adaptil Collar Junior, simply place it around your dog’s neck in the same way you would with any other collar. Adjust to an appropriate tightness level so that two fingers can fit through. These collars should be replaced approximately once every four weeks, and only one collar needs to be worn at any given time. Adaptil Collar Juniors can replace a dog’s previous collar, and be used with a normal lead for regular walks. It should be removed during bathing or washing sessions.
