kiesha09 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Has anyone used the DAP collars? Are they as effective as the diffusers? Would it be overkill to use the diffuser and the collar (although not a likely option as it's expensive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) I tried a DAP collar on my over reactive little BC girl but didn't find it made any difference to her.However I found the spray to be effective. I spray it on her bedding when we are traveling & I do see an improvement in her nervousness. She settled a lot quicker. Hope I was of some help.

Everythings Shiny Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Collars - I've heard mixed responses to them. I think the spray on the bedding probably works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiesha09 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I ended up getting the diffuser... the collars only last for a month (same as the refills for the diffuser) and the refills are cheaper than the collars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineX Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I got the dap diffuser a couple of days before the dap collar arived - the dap diffuser made a bit of difference, and the collar a massive amount of difference. (thread in Obed etc) But, Kate's problems stemmed completely from stress and anxiety in turning from a house dog into an outside dog, and in her case, this made a difference. Interestingly, Duke, who had no problems converting from inside to outside, chucked Kate out of her crate (its smaller) and took up residence as close to the dap diffuser as he could!! But he is a strange strange dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianca.a Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I have the dap spray and was using it on my dogs collar as advised by out trainer (spray and leave for about 15 minutes before putting it on her). Unfortunately for her it made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for her it made no difference. I have done the same with the DAP spray and found no effect either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
