THUNDERSHIRT FOR DOGS:

  • A Thundershirt for dogs is a natural calming aid. 

  • It might help to reduce anxiety symptoms in dogs in a drug-free way.

  • Just like cuddling an infant the Thundershirt for dogs applies gentle, constant pressure to the dog, helping them to calm. This might assist with anxiety, fear and over-excitement.

  • The Thundershirt for dogs may be of benefit in the following situations, whilst performing desensitisation and counter-conditioning work under the guidance of your behaviourist, during fireworks, during thunderstorms, assisting with separation anxiety management, during travel and visits to the vet, etc.

  • A Thundershirt only provides relief to the symptoms of the behavioural issue. It cannot fix or treat the underlying cause of the behavioural issue.

  • Get help for your dog from a professionally trained and experienced Animal Behaviourist. 

TIPS & TRICKS FOR USING YOUR THUNDERSHIRT:

The ThunderShirt is easy to use and requires no training.

Tips for introducing the ThunderShirt to your pet:

  • Try ThunderShirt on your pet the first few times when they’re feeling calm and loved

  • Put ThunderShirt in your laundry basket, so it starts to smell familiar

  • Give treats to your pet on the ThunderShirt like a plate so they associate it with positive things

  • Put ThunderShirt in your pet’s bed or crate and give them lots of snuggles

  • During a calm period, try the ThunderShirt on your pet for 1-2 hours. Engage with treats, plays and more snuggles

  • Try taking a walk in the ThunderShirt. More treats and positive reinforcement.
