My dog startled at the first shot, but after the ear cups were snugged down he actually relaxed and even dozed between rounds. The padding seals well enough that he didn't flinch on the second magazine. It's pricey, but knowing his hearing is protected during training makes it worth every cent.

First time at the range with my shepherd and the fit stayed secure even during the loudest shots, and the padding around the ears made it comfortable for a full session. Noticed she stayed calm and focused afterward, which tells me the protection did its job.

My lab doesn't flinch at gunfire or loud vehicle backfires anymore—the snug fit around his ears actually stays put even when he's running full sprint. Took him a couple minutes to get used to wearing them, but now he practically wags his tail when I pull them out before a training session.
