In a previous post, I alluded to my foster dog Aspen as a frequent wearer of her Thundershirt. I wanted you all to see how cute she is sporting her anxiety reducing fashion wear. Here we are playing in the snow at TNT this past week. For Aspen, playing is a new thing for her. Her fear of people, new environments, and all things fearful has prevented her from feeling relaxed enough to play.
Wearing the Thundershirt seems to take the ‘edge’ off and allows her to exhibit more pleasant and relaxed dog behaviours. Now it is obviousAspen loves the snow so much she wishes she could spend all her time rolling in it, regardless of the goings on around her…that’s a big leap for her. She loved it so much; it was difficult to get a picture in the upright position.

Hi Cindy
Yes it’s wonderful when there is more than one tool to put into the toolbox! Thanks for your comments on the Anixety Wrap. I just returned home from the Clicker Expo in Oregon. Thundershirt was one of the KPA sponsors and had a booth set up. They also did a talk about how to use the shirt and the effectivness of them. Many years ago i used to have anxious dogs come to class in a tight T-Shirt from home, even that showed positive effects. Thanks! Janice Gunn
