For Anyone That Has Trouble With A Frightened Puppy! I REALLY NEEDED TO SHARE THIS BECAUSE IM SO FUDGING HAPPY

THUNDERSHIRT
Lets start with the beginning:
My little dog, by the name of Tyrion, is a lab and terrier mix. I adopted him from a animal shelter in San Antonio. The shelter staff explained to me that this little black puppy was found on the side of a highway surrounded by his siblings corpses with the mother circling her only living pup, They proceeded to inform that the mother had turned on him, and they couldn't explain why. At first, I assumed this was a sob story to get me to adopt and I fell for it. Until I brought him home and it was not just a guilt trip. The little dog stayed as far away from me as possible, which wasn't abnormal for an adopted young dog, However, he was scared of everything and I do mean everything..... Cars, food, water, couches, tv, noise, grass, sticks, trees, pillows, blankets, tile, carpet, me. EVERYTHING. It was so severe that getting him to go outside was a terrorist negotiation. I had to make sure I was out of the house before he felt comfortable enough to walk out. If I stepped anywhere in his direction he would run back inside like someone shot a gun. Anyway! I tried everything, treats (Which he was scared of), meat (also afraid of), toys (terrified of). Nothing seemed to comfort him. Until I was convinced to try this shirt at my local Pet-Co. To my surprise IT WORKED! It has been less than 24 hours and he is being NORMAL! He is playing with me, is going outside without a problem, he inst afraid of my tile bathroom floor anymore! As someone who has, possibly, the most difficult puppy ever, I would definitely recommend it for a dog who has issues with thunder.

I should have known this before. I remember when we were looking for my good old boxer dog after there had been new year fireworks in the area. We finally found him trapped underneath a car....could hardly get him out from underneath...

It works because of the light compression on the torso, like a good feeling hug
Our dog is much calmer during fireworks on the 4th and New Year's eve.
