Sheridan Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 My concern would be a storm and me not being there to put the shirt on. It's not something I'd leave on Grumpy in case he got caught on trees/bushes in the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Well I did the pull test with Chazer. He didn't pull for a while but it had nothing to do with the shirt, he just didn't want to get to anywhere in a hurry, eventually we walked toward my friend so he started charging to her for his pat Thought the pulling thing was a bit much to expect Edited December 4, 2010 by helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretel Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Well I'm afraid I have to report back that the Thundershirt didn't help with Vienna's carsickness :rolleyes: I was so hoping! Anyone want to buy a medium shirt, barely used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 that must be such a good feeling to achieve so much with herI noticed they reckon it stops lead pulling. Brittanys are notorious lead pullers. Might have to borrow my friend's and give it a test run LOL If you find any difference with pulling, let me know and I'll give one a shot. Akira is awful on lead. Actually, I should probably try one anyway and see if there's any improvement with her fear of men. Perhaps your dog just needs to be lead trained? Would you like me to list everything we've tried and what our obedience school has said about Akira's pulling? Even THEY have given up on her, yet she can walk perfectly on leash in our yard because there's nothing to overstimulate her. I am certain her problem is excitement, hence why trying to calm her down would probably be very useful. *Shrugs* you can be a smart ass if you want, doesn't really fix your problem does it.

I have some sympathy for the owner with an overexcited dog when on lead. I have one myself and no matter what happens, she's hard to settle. There's no need for the nasty response.

cannibalgoldfish Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ok. I read through the thread and maybe I missed stuff? . So can someone please sum up the whole thing? What is it and why buy it. Why is it different to any old dog coat? I ask because I have a mad shiba freaking out every time there is a storm, fireworks, loud machinery, negative feng shui, whatever...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfthewords Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Just bought one (and some other stuff :D) for my boy who is fear-aggressive and reactive to things like wind, rain, storms, sudden movements, etc. His worst fear is people, so if it gets him to calm down even slightly, I'll be through the roof.

wuffles Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 We tried the shirt on our boy a few nights ago during storms overnight. At first we didn't notice much of a difference, he was still stressed, pacing, etc. The only thing was that he finally settled on a spot and lay there nearly the whole night even while there was thunder -- he usually paces between rooms constantly. Not sure if it was the TS or not but we will be putting it on him again next time to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 For those trying out the Thunder Shirt, in most cases it's not an instant thing, the dog needs to keep wearing it in a lot of cases to build up the experience so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSD's 4EVER Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Manuicure time for the dogs yesterday. The 2 young 'uns are fine & just stand on the bench. Mish is a nightmare though, because I blooded her once & she's never forgotten. We get it done with a towel secured over her head & me holding her while she shakes, snorts & tries to bite while OH whips round her paws as quickly as he can. Thought I'd give the TS a try. I wasn't confident enough to remove the towel over her head, but she just stood on the bench without any fuss what so ever & we got it done in record time.

sllebasi Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Got mine today, does anyone know what pets providores refund policy is like - my dog was in between two sizes and I went for the bigger size which I dont think is going to work. it fits the dog, but the flaps overhang and bit. i like the concept and idea and think it will really help my dog, so am disappointed that i didnt choose the right size for her Am really hoping that i can exchange it for a size smaller, but If they dont exchange I may have an xtra large one to sell on if someone wants it.

GSD's 4EVER Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've spoken to the chap in WA, & he seems to be a very nice person. I'm sure if you explain what's happened, he'll be helpful. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
