The Anxiety Wrap was created by dog trainer Susan Sharpe, CPDT, ADPT, to provide an alternative or holistic approach to behavior modification for dog and cats. When used properly, it has proven to increase balance, self-confidence, focus, preparation for and during training, animal to animal socialization, animal to human socialization, bonding, relaxation, and gait awareness. It can also help end dog and cat aggression, shyness, nervousness, release stress and tension, end jumping, stop destructive chewing, fear biting, car sickness, unnecessary barking, shyness, fear of loud noises, thunderstorm fear, sensitivity to touch, sensitive to sound, aloofness, emotional upset, hyperactivity, grooming issues and other anxieties.

- Patented design targets pressure points on the dog’s body to aid in the calming effect from the light pressure of the garment.

- Patented “butt straps” hit sensitive pressure points on the back legs to help calm and release tension.

- “Maintained Pressure” is a technique used by The Anxiety Wrap, with Autistic children, and in neuro-rehabilitation to modify the body’s sensory receptors and change the nervous system back to a more normal state.

- Fabric is lightweight, stretchable and breathable so it provides minimal disruption/discomfort to the dog while providing the right amount of pressure to affect the nervous system.

- Won’t bind the dog in any way. The dog can freely urinate and defecate.

- The “butt straps” can be used in a variety of ways – crisscrossing them, using only one strap, holding the tail down, etc. – to vary the effect.

COLOR: Black only (no longer available in white).

SIZING INFORMATION: see Options for sizing. Weight is only a rough guide. Please measure your dog or cat as follows, for best results:

The pet should be standing. Using a cloth or vinyl sewing tape measure, measure the circumference of the fullest part of the dog’s ribcage (normally the girth). Note: pull tape measure slightly snug, and do NOT round off the measurement.
