The Gentle Leader Calming Cap from Premier is a wonderful tool for easing your dog’s anxiety in high-stress situations. The Calming Cap reduces visual stimuli
to help lower your dog’s excitement level.
The Calming Cap is not a
blindfold! The Calming Cap is a soft fabric mask that reduces the visual stimulus that makes a dog
agitated by filtering his vision. The single-panel sheer fabric window makes
the dog’s vision indistinct, while allowing the dog to easily navigate his
surroundings (and even play ball!)
Invented by a dog trainer:
The Calming Cap was designed by Trish King, CPDT CDBC, director of Behavior
& Training at the Marin Humane Society, in collaboration with Lisa Moore,
CPDT. The Cap was developed originally to ease hyperactivity in a dog that
became agitated while traveling in a car. Since then, pet owners and
professionals across the pet industry have used the Cap to quiet and calm
anxious or excitable dogs.
Quality features:
Single-panel sheer fabric window offers enough vision to confidently navigate surroundings while
reducing the visual stimulus.
Soft fabric and elastic fit provides maximum comfort.
Two Velcro® strips wrap
around the collar allow for easy on/off.
Cute dog print fabric in
light blue.
The Calming Cap can help
to calm your dog so you can do more effective training for:
Barking at things when in the car
Carsickness
Grooming / nail trimming
Veterinary procedures
Thunderstorm phobia (if your dog is frightened by the lightning flashes)
Whenever something your dog sees is making him nervous and you would like to help him stay calm while you teach him it’s okay.
The Calming Cap comes with
complete instructions. It is important to teach
your dog to love wearing the cap first using lots of tasty treats before using
it to treat anxiety. Do not use the Calming Cap when your dog is unattended.
Note: The Calming Cap will not be effective on all dogs. If it does not help your dog or you don’t like it for any reason, you can return it to us for a refund of your purchase price.

I LOVE the Calming Cap. My puppy is reactive and sight is his trigger - he can listen to talking/barking all day long and be fine, bit a glimpse of a stranger will set him off. He wears the cap while entering/exiting the vet's office, and if I must potty him while strangers are around. For example, my neighbors had a huge birthday party for their child, an all-day affair, and at some point I knew I would have to potty the little guy. I put the cap on and he did his business without getting upset, since he couldn't see the people.
I could also see it being useful if I had to have workers coming and going from the house, or some other situation where it might be tough to ensure he couldn't see anyone.
It's certainly not the perfect product for all dogs, as I have been told it makes some dogs more upset as they feel more vulnerable. But for Finch, it's been a godsend.
I have used the Calming Cap for dogs coming to my dog reactive class who have a hard time getting in the door. It's held at a time when there aren't many dogs around, but there is a groomer below our facility and sometimes dogs are walking on the street. I also think they are great for our medical department at the shelter where I work.
I wanted to let you know that we bought a calming cap for our 4 month old rough collie for car sickness and the results are nothing short of miraculous. This poor pup went from drenching himself with saliva and vomiting, to curling up and sleeping once the cap is on. I think it is a wonderful product.
