FEAR of noises

Access the new and innovative solutions designed to help your exotic pet(s) be less likely to be affected by illogical fear of noises, which can be a serious burden for both of you.

Noise Phobia: A possibly serious problem

Noise phobia is illogical fear of sounds that we humans know are harmless, but our pets and horses don't necessarily know that. Up to 60% of pets can have anything from saddening anxiety, to frantic fear when they hear unknown noises. This can be from being sad, to very serious, with injury or damage for pet or owner, pets fleeing and getting lost, or even death.

The method to deal with this problem is called noise phobia therapy. In the classical method, potentially scary sounds are played, usually from one CD or set of MP3 sounds. The volume is from very low in the beginning, to full volume in the end, in the therapy process that can take several weeks. The goal is that the pet becomes used to the sounds and is not scared when they are actually heard.

WeStopFear has carefully analyzed the classical process, and believes it has drawbacks that are vital to address.

Innovations of WeStopFear

WeStopFear™ has developed a new technical therapy process, designed with the goal that the majority of users will hopefully see it as easier, simpler, safer, more natural and more bearable. The system is called Simple Secure Steps™.

WeStopFear is the most comprehensive solutions ever offered. It is a member's website with Internet-streaming audio players. It is thus similar to music streaming websites. You can use your mobile device or computer, connected wirelessly or with cable to loudspeakers with good volume and audio quality. MP3 download is also an upgrade option.

The volume level of the therapy sounds is pre-set to the correct volume, in five steps. This makes the process simpler and safer. Access to the steps is managed, meaning less hassle and organization is needed.

WeStopFear offers a solution for exotic pets. It is a matter of principle, that owners of all pet types will have this opportunity to improve their pets' wellbeing.

WeStopFear is systematically designed for improvement

The most extensive noise phobia therapy solution in history and the first extensive set of multi-faceted innovations in this field since around 2010 that we know of.

Pet focused interface

The user experience, graphics, extensive instructions, and list of signs of fear and phobia are focused on exotic pets. You will feel “at home” as a exotic pet owner with pet-specific advice and graphics.

Safer for your pet

Mistakes are “designed out” of the process and made close-to-impossible. Natural Intervals make it more likely that your pet and yourself will endure the process well. With future maintenance of success.

Simpler and easier for you

The innovations of Volume Anchor, Ascending Loudness, Timed Access and Natural Intervals make these Simple Secure Steps easier, simpler and safer for you to implement.

Is your exotic pet in danger of this problem?

Hopefully not but it is possible. We cannot tell which (type) will encounter this or when. Although fireworks, thunder and traffic are common, then any sound can cause problems.

The most logical thing for you is to conduct this type of therapy to prevent it. This makes it a less likely problem.

Is your pet already fearful of some sound?

If so, then necessary to conduct this therapy to heal the situation.

Innovations of WeStopFear

All noise phobia therapy products work if done correctly. However, WeStopFear includes innovations not seen before: Volume Anchor™, Ascending Loudness™, Timed Access™ and Natural Intervals™ make up the Simple Secure Steps™ therapy process design. It has multiple instructions and reminder system, and it is more comprehensive than any solution that has been available before.

Pricing for all

Monthly prices for online training are often $20-30, and a single in-person session can cost $350. The prices for WeStopFear programs, especially annual subscriptions, is way below these numbers. The goal is to offer WeStopFear at a very manageable cost.

Simple equipment

You can use your smartphone, tablet or computer to stream the sounds over the Internet. With this you need a good quality loudspeaker(s) with realistic volume, either wireless or connected with speaker cables.

If you want to play without being connected, from an MP3 playing device or even burn your CDs, then you can upgrade to MP3 and MP4 files download additionally.

Don’t procrastinate

This problem can come any day and is unannounced. The likelihood increases with higher age (among dogs and probably other types as well). Thus, it is not so that if your pet has reached a certain age then it is safe.

Start today!

If you don't do anything, your exotic pet continues to be at the same risk as before. There is nothing protecting it from this problem.

If you don’t like this, you can cancel any time without any questions asked. So don’t postpone starting to take care of this issue for your beloved exotic pet.

We Want Fewer Stories Like These

Anxious, or worse?

Imagine a normal day with your exotic pet. You should not have a care in the world, but your pet is anxious and hides, because of a sound it heard, a sound you know is entirely harmless. It is common among up to 60% of pets to be uneasy of fearful because of some sounds it does not understand. This is not very serious, but the day is not as relaxed as it should be. But for some pets it can be more serious. A small percentage can from time to time have very serious problems of this kind. You never know which one will face this. This can even be catastrophic:

What is this??

Imagine you own exotic pets. They are your pride and joy. Then one day fireworks are set off with big cracks and bangs nearby. One of your pet freezes in its spot, and then limps down. It has died right there on the spot, and rodents sometimes do when becoming overwhelmingly scared.

Scared pet bites, what next?

Imagine you own exotic pets. Everything is going well with them, they are happy and are fond of you. You can hold them and cuddle them without problem. Then one day some sudden, uncomfortable noises that they aren’t used to make them scared. You pick one of the pets as you have done often before, but it freaks out and bites you in your hand. You need to go to the hospital to get medical injections to protect you from possible infections.

Prevent or heal

These imaginary trauma stories are based on actual events. They happen every year, and sadly often. Accidents and negative consequences of fear of sounds can not be completely eliminated, but their likelihood can be reduced, and the problems may be less serious for those who are affected. Maybe that could include your exotic pet? Noise phobia therapy is the methodology designed to prevent or heal these problems.

Try the 5 steps audio players

There are 5 steps in the Simple Secure Steps therapy process. The sounds in the steps are the same. It is only that the volume is pre-set correctly in each step: From very, very low in Step 1, to full natural volume in Step 5. You get access to Step 1 in the beginning, and then gradually to Step 2, Step 3, Step 4 and Step 5, and finally the ongoing Maintain Success stage.

Below are streaming audio player with short samples of therapy sounds.

Setting the volume

In the beginning, you find the correct volume setting for the loudspeakers of your audio playback device by playing the piano tune below. The volume setting should be so that the piano music is at a good and clear listening level, not very low like soft dinner music at a restaurant, not extremely loud like a rock concert.

You will keep this same volume on a particular audio device that you use in a particular location, every time in all the steps. If there are markings or numbers that show the volume setting, then you need to find the right volume setting on the audio device only once. But if there is no scale, number or markings, then you need to play the piano tune each time to set the volume correctly.

After you have set the volume, try playing the sounds in each step. Do not do this when your animal is present. The volume in the higher steps could give it a shock, just like the actual sounds when they are heard suddenly.

Streaming, choose and custom

In the therapy member's pages, you have access to a streaming player that plays the playlist in random order with just one button click, each sound once and then stops. You also have access to players to play individual sounds like below, and you can also choose a number of sounds to create your own custom playlist, which will then be played in random order.
