"Mango has residual separation anxiety that makes her very "excited" when I return home. So I spread some peanut butter on the lick mat and give it to her when I release her from her crate. This distracts her from the fact that I just returned and calms her down. Great tool for this aspect of trainin..."

"OK if I could take it away but when I left it with her (30 lb energetic licker), she bit off most of the little nubs in the center. Luckily left them around on the floor (and so small would have passed right through her anyway) but then wasn't useable (she could lick stuff right off)."

Despite its small size, the LickiMat Classic Soother Slow Feeder Dog Lick Mat is a highly effective tool for calming and distracting dogs. It's durable, easy to clean, and highly recommended for dog owners looking to manage their pet's anxiety.
