On 23 July 2012, Mom purchased a downloadable version of
Canine Lullabies for us. It's way cheaper than the CD itself and of cuz, no shipping required at all.
The results are almost immediate and Mom plays it on the portable radio (repeat mode of 18 heartbeat lullabies) whenever she leaves the house. All four of us stay in her room whenever Mom's leaves the house, so when the lullabies come on, we'll know that she's gonna be out. Mom's parents have commented that since the CDs were on, we have become very quiet and are sound asleep even when they open our room door to check on us at times.
A segment from the website about
how it works:
The music evolves to other animal species
For
years, Woodford would roll his eyes when parents wrote him about how
their baby’s Heartbeat Lullabies CD was also calming their dog to sleep.
He just assumed when the baby stopped crying the dog got a break like
everyone else in the family.
But in 2004, members of the
American Boarding Kennels Association (ABKA) verified that parents were
on to something. Over 90 kennels reported that playing Heartbeat
Lullabies for anxious dogs reduced separation anxiety, diarrhea,
aggression and excessive barking. That same year researchers reported
calming aggressive male chimps to sleep by playing the CD at the
Honolulu Zoo.
Woodford knew if he tried
to market the baby lullaby CD to calm barking dogs, he would be setting
himself up for ridicule and disbelief from skeptics. But when he saw the
music calm 50 frightened barking dogs in less than two minutes in a
Colorado humane society, he decided to go for it. “It would have been
irresponsible not to share the dramatic successes animal care providers
were having playing the CD for their upset dogs,” says Woodford. “When
we played the Canine Lullabies CD stress levels were way low which makes
the dogs a lot easier to adopt.” Says, Susan Friedenburg, Adoption
Manager, Colorado Humane Society /SPCA Englewood.
“When I
tout the benefits of playing the Canine Lullabies CD for an upset dog
usually the first reaction I get is a smile or laughter,” Woodford says.
“This is such a simple off-the-wall solution that most dog owners think
I’m either naïve, a far out new ager, or a quack. But when they play
the CD for an anxious barking dog, they are just as surprised and amazed
as I was the first time I saw it work.”
Hundreds of humane
societies, rescue shelters and animal clinics across America and Great
Britain are discovering they can make their dogs more comfortable and
more adoptable by playing the Canine Lullabies CD. Upon request the
Canine Lullabies CDs are provided free to shelters, humane societies,
and animal clinics to use in their facility.
Woodford is a
recognized therapeutic music expert – both in artistic creation and in
marketing innovation. He speaks nationally to nurses, doctors, social
workers, parents and other care providers on how to use music and why it
works to help heal and calm frightened children adults and other
animals.
Woodford’s advice is widely
sought by parents and he has been an informative and entertaining guest
on national, regional and local media including CBS Up to the Minute,
TNN, CBC (Journal Diary), Health Network’s “Ask the Pediatrician”, The
700 Club, BBC and others. He’s been interviewed in over 400 local TV
news stories, TV talk shows, talk radio programs and newspapers in
American and Canadian cities.
So yup, you can be sure this works because we've tried it! So be it a human baby or cat/dog or even adults will all benefit with this calming heartbeat lullabies.
We bought the (downloadable) Combo CD with 18 songs for only USD19.95 (SGD26.05). The actual CD would have cost Mom a total of USD30.95 (including USD6 for shipping) which is SGD40.42! Makes perfect sense to just purchase the downloadable version. But Mom only received it the following day after emailing them at
terry@audiotherapy.com . So fret not and email them if anything!
Alternatively there's Volume 1 with only 9 heartbeat lullabies
