Mekuti CALMING BAND

HELP WITH BARKING, FEAR AND AGGRESSION TOWARDS OTHER DOGS AS WELL AS SHYNESS AND WHINING

Calming Bands can help with all types of reactivity – too much and even too little

Behaviours that can be helped include:

• Excessive Barking

• Chewing & Whining

• Getting 'into the zone'

• Hyperactivity and Inactivity

• Shyness & Cowering

• Can be used in conjunction with a muzzle to help reduce anxiety.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The Mekuti Calming Band does not restrict movement, or keep the mouth closed.

The dog will be comfortably able to pant and drink, but will still be able to bark and bite.

They are not designed to be used as a head halter with a lead.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG UNATTENDED with a Calming Band on.

How it Works

Calming Bands are used to bring an animals awareness to their mouth.

Within the system of Tellington TTouch^TM, mouth-work is utilised to activate the limbic system – the part of the brain that looks after the emotions.

The elasticized noseband gently creates that contact whilst also changing their awareness e.g. barking can be a habit - see dog (or postman), bark – during a barking episode the calming band gently brings their awareness to their muzzle and thus interrupts the barking by taking their attention away from the stimulus.

By allowing them to be aware of habitual responses and behavioural patterns, they may change them and begin to observe the world around them and respond rather than react to stimuli.

Customers tell us that their Calming Band is useful both outside, where they note their dogs become less reactive to other dogs and people and inside especially when visitors arrive.
