through a Dog's Ear
by Joshua Leeds & Susan Wagner

    This book is about the use of music to help improve the behavior of your dog.  The right music can help your pet overcome separation anxiety, fear of certain noises such as fireworks and garbage trucks, and calm them down under almost any stressful situation.  Leeds is an authority on psychoacoustics.  Wagner is a veterinary neurologist.  They also worked with pianist Lisa Spector to study the effects of not only different types of music on dogs, but also, what arrangements worked best for soothing stressed out pooches.  The book comes with a CD of sample music to use for calming your pets and other CDs are available online.  I've used the CD for over a week now on my dog, Cocoa, who gets separation anxiety and I think it is helping already.
