Your dog will also take cues from you in how to react. If you believe the PAWNIX will work, and is providing your dog much needed comfort, then your dog will react to you being calm, and be calm as well. If you do not think that PAWNIX will work for your dogs, and are at your wits end, then your dog will pick up on this and also be stressed out.
Think of it like a kid that falls and looks to see if anyone is watching. If there is a big production of emotions to their fall, they will begin to cry. If the parent or guardian provides soothing calming comfort, then the child doesn't react with tears.
Our pups need help getting over the social and physical programing that they have been dealing with, and deserve to be comforted by you and PAWNIX.
The first time you put a PAWNIX on your PUP, should not be the first time you need to put one on. If your dog’s first introduction to wearing a PAWNIX happens when he/she is hurt or terrified, it will be much more difficult to get the PAWNIX on. And harder to use and benefit from the PAWNIX in the future, as your dog will have learned to associate the PAWNIX with the stressful circumstances. Luckily, a dog can be trained to accept PAWNIX if he/she is introduced to it under low-stress conditions, with a step-by-step process, and with appropriate rewards and love.
Using small, soft treats, and making sure they are comfortable with each step before going on to the next.
Each time you put on the PAWNIX, gradually increase the time the PAWNIX is on. SIt with them and give treats.
Some dogs have gone through these steps in less than a day—possibly a matter of minutes. Some dogs have really bad PTSD and may take training over several days to keep it on and see the benefits. We’ve done this with all kinds of dogs, including rescue dogs we’ve fostered. If the dog isn’t interested in treats, you can substitute other rewards. We have used verbal praise, but this is optional.
We also suggest that you try introducing and training around nap/sleep time as well. This lets your dog know it is ok to fall asleep in their PAWNIX. This will help you all get back to sleep in the middle of the night quickly.
The electronics are removable when you turn the headset inside out. They are housed in pockets, and are easier to access when the headset is inside out. We originally did this in case you needed to hand clean the headset, but it works very well for size swaps too! https://pawnix.com/pages/put-back-in
If the headphones are slipping backwards, you can push them backwards to leave more room at the front of the headset to pinch the hoodie elastic around the face more.
If they are falling forward, moving the speakers back can also help balance the weight on the head.
They are also moveable for comfort and placement in, on or in front of the ear.
The velcro loops are also helpful to secure to the collar to help prevent the PAWNIX from wobbling around on the head.
