I actually saw these in our local pet store last week. I have to admit that I laughed because the idea sounds so strange but if some people are finding that they do work it can only be a good thing. It makes me wonder if the dogs behavior improves only because of the owners expectations. When the owner is more relaxed the dog relaxes too.
If they do work then it's a great, drug free, way to calm an anxious dog but I would imagine that a lot will depend on the dog and whether it finds wearing a coat stressful in itself.
Neither of the dogs I have right now really need any stress relief, in fact getting them off the sofa would be a bonus, but my previous dogs would have benefited from calming down a bit!
