Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) Collar Facts

The DAP is activated by Close contact with the dog's skin, as well as the body temperature, allows the release of the pheromone.

Close contact with the skin is required, like a flea collar, but with at least one finger fitting between the collar and dog.

The DAP should be worn along side the regular collar, so it is in contact with the skin. The DAP can be worn with a flea and tick collar. Do not cover the DAP with another collar or bandana. Do not use a anti-bark or remote training collar with the DAP , the spray collar range although painless disrupt unwanted behaviour with a suprising spray and the electric collar and sonic range deliver a punitive message that is not compatible with the calming effect of the DAP.

When the collar is placed, the perception of the Dog Appeasing Pheromone by the dog is immediate. However, as in every behavior program, the visible improvement in specific behaviors requires some time, depending on a variety of factors: the dog, the nature, duration and severity of the problem, and behavior modification (dog and owner). Usually, an improvement in specific behavior signs is seen during the first two weeks after wearing the Collar, but some dogs require a month to exhibit visible improvement.

The DAP Collar is expected to last for 30 days. The Collar will stop diffusing pheromone and clients usually notice a behavior change in their dog by the next day.

The collar is not a toy so it should be kept out of reach of children. Contact with the collar while on the dog should not be a problem.

If the collar gets wet, it should be taken off and wiped dry in order to maintain continual release of pheromone.

It is not recommended to bathe a dog or let the dog swim while wearing the collar.

The collar has a shelf life of three years, if it is stored in its original packaging in a dry place.

The pheromone is added to the inert ingredients used in the manufacturing of the Collar in a liquid form, then heated and dried to give the Collar its final shape. This process is similar to collars that are infused with other ingredients.
