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.
