I have a 7-month-old Mini Australian Shepherd, and he is currently in the midst of his second puppy phase fear period. Yay...Poor guy is petrified of traffic in Midtown Manhattan right now. He is completely freaked out. Even getting him out the front door of our building is a nightmare (for him) in itself. If there is a truck outside, forget about it, as he was spooked by two trucks lowering their back metal ramp violently down on the asphalt three weeks ago right outside our building's front door. (I need to point out that he usually is fine with the traffic and noises outside of his fear periods.)He normally goes to my husband's office twice a week on 5th Avenue and is jolly and happy the entire way walking there. This week I had to take the bus with him because he refuses to leave our block. Getting off at 5th Ave, he freaked out as there was a really loud demonstration on the corner, with hundreds of people, with multiple shouting into bullhorns and stomping their feet. He jumped into my arms, shaking. Poor little man.I decided to bring the noise-canceling headphones when I picked him up later in the day, to see if they would help him out a bit.I have been introducing him to the headphones for a few days, teaching him that when he boops them, he gets a treat. Then I started handing him treats between them. But he did not let me put them on, yet.He loves socializing at the office, and thankfully indoors, he is completely fear-free and playful, and he had a great and relaxing day there.But as we came outside, he backed up really hard with real fear in his eyes, trying to get back into the building. I thought, "Ok, I'm just going to put them on - no matter what." Wow. The immediate look on his face when they covered his ears was like the videos you see of kids hearing for the first time as their hearing aids are turned on. Total amazement and peace. He never once tried to take them off and walked the ENTIRE way home (a 20-minute walk) with NO fear. He didn't even notice big, loud trucks passing, nor a dog barking right in his ear behind him. I instantly said to my husband: "I am writing a review for these things! And thanking whoever made them." The picture of him in the bag was taken 2 minutes after they were put on his ears. Total relaxation.They are a life-changer for my pup! Even going to Starbucks for pup cups is no longer a scary experience during this fear period. They blast the music so loud in their locations and throw metal trays really hard into the sinks. Even I get stressed by it. He always wants to go in - he actually drags me there. Haha! But he's been really sketchy lately, pulling hard to get out when the trays hit the sink. Yet, he wants to stay because of the treat. I put them on him the other day when we came in, and he was totally relaxed and happy, as you see from the video.During his fear period, he's even skeptical of people and kids, which he normally LOVES. It turns out it's the loud traffic and city noises that make him skeptical of people, as when he wears the noise-canceling headphones, he's fine being pet by strangers.To any of you with pups that are afraid of loud noises, please give these a try for your pups' sake. My little one is 20 lbs and 17.5" tall (floor to shoulders) and wears a Medium size - if that can help you gauge the size for headphones.Please make sure you tuck in the ears, and that the chin strap isn't too tight. I adjusted the straps as well as I could on my dog and put a couple of stitches on them to prevent the straps from re-adjusting while he's wearing them.Note to the manufacturer: The headphones slide a little off when long-haired dogs shake their heads. Maybe consider putting some anti-slip grip tape/foam on the underside of straps. Also, maybe find a way to attach handles/small loops to the outside of cups, to make it easier to re-seat them on dogs with long fur, so you don't pull the hair on their ears.

i guess it helps to reduce noise

The design is such that it slides off my dogs head. The straps should go around the ears. It does muffle sound but not block it. He can hear commands with ear protection on.
