in kennels. What do you all think about this? If it really helps them, I'm all for it, but I just don't know how effective this is/could be.

i guess this works cause tyhey say so....but it for sure is not the pheremone of a female dog in heat....you want something to disrupt a 100 or so dogs in a kennel just throw a female in heat in with them....you have never heard such noises...even from the other females who take up the barking i guess just to be in with the group....i guess this type that they are talking about might work...i know lots of dairys have nice soft music to increase milk production...Rock and Roll had the opposite effect.
