DAP infusers?

Anyone ever used these?   They are the little plug in infusers that emit pheromes that supposedly calm your dog down?

Did they work, or were they a total waste of money?

Day 2:

I left the boys as usual, each in their crates when I went to work this morning for a seminar (4 hours).

No peeing in the crate from Jeff today, and no barking from Jake.  I'm getting more hopeful that this will calm them down during crate times.  

That's all I'm asking, no peeing and no barking.  The REAL test will be when I go back to NC in a couple of weeks, and they'll be crated all day for 6 days.  (all day being 9 hours while my hubbie is at work).

I bought one and it did not work!!!! It was a waste of money for me anyways.

Hey - let us know.  Interesing stuff.  Do they have one that works on bosses?  :-)

Well, it didn't seem to be a miracle, although Jeffy did not pee in his crate.  But sometimes he doesn't, so will have to wait before assigning any credit to the DAP.

Jake wasn't barking, according to the neighbors who spend all their free time listening for our dogs to bark, and informing us of all such barkings.

But sometimes he doesnt.  Again, will see tomorrow.  I have to be gone much of the day.

We're going out to dinner in a while, so it will be put to the test.  Jake always barks when left in the crate, and Jefferson pees in his crate.  They always have, no matter what we've tried behaviorally.  
Ben is fine in his crate.

So we'll see.  I plugged it in, and its in their room, pheroming the heck out of the place.  The dogs have their own common dog room, each with their own big crate.

Good luck Peek a who!  Let us know!

Well, after the stunning responses (just kidding!) I did go and get one.  For $60, the d@mn thing better make the dogs sing "Give Peace a Chance" and tap dance.
