Excellent Album

As an animal trainer I was pleasantly surprised to find this album. It offers a selection of remarkably useful sounds that are crystal clear and ideal for animal desensitizing. Since the liner notes are not displayed, here they are: There are many reasons why your pet may exhibit fearfulness or anxiety. This could be the animal’s temperament, much of which is genetically determined. The animal that seems shy and often hides away from unusual stimuli will probably always be challenged. The animal’s environment, especially in its early life, can also play a role in determining whether it is fearful. Very often, a bad experience that an animal has at a young age will probably stay with it throughout its adult life. Fortunately, there are incredibly effective ways of helping your animal to overcome these fears. These involve positive experiences with regular exposure to other animals, people and situations. This is known as socialization and it’s a good idea to practice this from a young age. When an animal is scared of certain sounds, the most effective treatment is known as counter-conditioning or desensitizing – which is the purpose of this album. Desensitizing your pet: Desensitizing is the process of repeatedly presenting scary stimuli at a level below the animal’s threshold, and gradually making the stimuli stronger until the animal shows no signs of fear or aggravation. The object of this album is to gradually expose your pet to sounds in a safe, controlled manner. You should play the desired sounds regularly, starting at very low levels and gradually increasing the volume until it is comparative to a real thunderstorm for example. It is important that you go about your business in the normal way whilst these sounds are playing, but occasional reassurance is fine. This process should not be rushed, so you should play the desired sounds very quietly for the first week, at random times throughout the day, in twenty minute sessions. Then slightly increase the volume level in week two, until you can eventually play the sounds very loudly and your pet is completely calm and oblivious. This process will take several weeks or months to complete, but if done successfully, your animal will no longer experience stress and anxiety when it hears similar sounds in everyday life.

.....Erm, it's an animal desensitising album - not a relaxation album. Read the first review which explains everything. The idea is that you play the sounds that your animals is scared of, so that it gradually gets used to them and no longer has fear. This involves playing obtrusive, noisy sounds very quietly and making them louder over time.......If you just want your dog to relax, take him on vacation!

This is for getting your pet used to sounds - NOT RELAXING IT!

Get with it people! If your animal is scared of fireworks for example, the answer is NOT to play it relaxing music, doh! Instead, you would use an album like this to get him used to the sounds of fireworks months before New year etc. You do this by playing them very quietly every day, until the animal is oblivious at loud volume. Then when the real thing happens, he won't care! So no more hiding, shaking or heart attacks. The same goes for yappy dogs who bark at the front door, passing cars etc - get them used to it with this great album.
