About Canine Noise Phobia Series

The Canine Noise Phobia series (CNP) is an innovative desensitization training tool that combines three distinctive elements for the treatment and prevention of sound-sensitivities and noise-phobias:

• Progressive sound effects (distant/close)
• Specially-designed psychoacoustic music (Through a Dog’s Ear)
• Reward-based reinforcement protocols (Victoria Stilwell, Positively.com)

CNP can be used in two distinctive ways:

1. Habituation: To help prevent your puppy or dog from
   developing fears or phobias to fireworks, thunderstorms,
   and city sounds.
2. Desensitization: To help your dog overcome an already-
   established fear or phobia of fireworks, thunderstorms,
   and city sounds.

Training protocols for Fireworks have been created by Victoria Stilwell, star of Animal Planet’s It’s Me or the Dog, and author of Train Your Dog Positively.

Teach your dog fireworks, thunderstorms, and city sounds are nothing to fear.

There isn’t a dog alive who loves fireworks, thunderstorms, or loud city noises. These explosions, rumbles, and chatter leave them quivering, panting, drooling, or at worst, destroying your home. With an ability to hear twice as many frequencies as people, at a capability over four times our own, it’s no wonder that so many pups struggle to be calm during the unexplained noise. Sound is an incredibly powerful sensory pathway for dogs, and when channeled properly, it can be used to effectively communicate calm, instead of fear.

Since we can’t quiet the outside noise, the answer is to re-train the fear response. These albums use soothing, specially re-arranged classical music synced to the natural rhythm of a relaxed mammalian nervous system–in combination with background fireworks, thunderstorms, and city sound effects–to effectively communicate that these noises are nothing to fear.

Thunderstorm phobia is a very common condition among dogs all over the world. The terror that results can be an incredibly distressing, debilitating problem not only for dogs, but also for their owners who feel powerless to help. This groundbreaking desensitization tool will teach your dog to associate positive feelings with thunderstorms rather than feeling fearful, and will help to gradually reduce your dog’s fear when exposed to these sounds.

The Thunderstorms album includes a verbal introduction by Victoria and sounds of thunderstorms (mild, moderate, and heavy) set against the backdrop of the Through a Dog’s Ear clinically-tested calming music. An adjoining booklet contains Victoria’s positive reinforcement training protocol. The goal is to re-frame your dog’s perception of the sounds of thunder and associate these sounds with a calm feeling.

When used properly and implemented in conjunction with the included behavioral modification protocols included, you can rehabilitate your thunder-phobic dog, or prevent thunder-phobia from ever developing in younger dogs.

Cities are a tough place for dogs to adapt to. It’s a very different environments than what the canine nervous system has evolved from. Knowing how powerful their sensory systems are, it becomes our responsibility to create a peaceful home environment that supports the health for our beloved companions.

If we can’t quiet the city, we must re-train, or prevent, the fear response with re-conditioning. This groundbreaking desensitization tool will teach your dog to associate positive feelings with city sounds rather than feeling anxious, and will help to gradually reduce your dog’s fear when exposed to these sounds.

City Sounds includes a verbal introduction by professional dog trainer Victoria Stilwell and sounds of city sounds (mild, moderate, and heavy) set against the backdrop of the Through a Dog’s Ear clinically-tested calming music. An adjoining booklet contains Victoria’s positive reinforcement training protocol. The goal is to re-frame your dog’s perception of urban sounds and associate these sounds with a calm feeling.

When used properly and implemented in conjunction with the included behavioral modification protocols included, you can rehabilitate your noise-phobic dog, or prevent noise phobias from ever developing in younger dogs.
