hi i have a german sheperd that has bad anxiety and i would like to know how to make a homemade calming spray to try and help her relax a little im giving her relaxing dog sounds to listen to on youtube what other way can i help her

I don't know about sprays but have you tried a "thundershirt" type approach? You can make your own by altering (cutting and tying) a small t-shirt. Get it snug around the dpog's rib cage. Similar to swaddling, the light pressure soothes... We've used for anxiety during thunderstorms, rifle season and general "bad days".

We have not had to do any training with thundershirt type things... Just give lots of affection putting it on. The dogs responded very well, immediately.

I use dog calming music. He gets really sleepy and calms down immediately when the music gets turned on.

Thunder Shirt works on our elderly golden retriever - no training was needed for her.

find a small t shirt, a toddler size is probably good, depending on how big you dog is. (used is great) Experiment with that before buying anything. You'll know if it's a good approach for your dog pretty quick, just get it snug, like a super hug.
