Thundershirt!

For those of you who know Dax, he's a bit, shall we say....excitable! As we will be moving house in a few weeks, we thought we'd try a 'thundershirt' to help with the transition. A thundershirt is "The best solution for Dog Anxiety". It's recommended uses are for: fear of thunder(check), separation anxiety(check), barking problems (check), noise anxiety (check), car or travel anxiety (check), crate anxiety (double check), reactivity (check), general fearfullness (check - especially to skateboards and cyclists NOT wearing helmets), excitability (check), leash pulling (check). Hmmm! Dax checks all behaviours!

 He was pretty pissed when it first went on!
 And when he couldn't 'shake' it off, he took off upstairs and I went to check that he wasn't trying to chew it off and found him sulking on the bed!
He followed me back downstairs, and decided to forgive me and have a cuddle. Next thing I knew, he'd crashed! I guess it's having a 'calming' affect! Between that and Doggy Yoga, we may have the calmest dog on the street!
