Putting a ThunderShirt on your dog is easy to do and can help provide calming effects for dogs experiencing anxiety. Here are the simple steps:
- Lay the ThunderShirt out flat on the ground with the opening facing up.
- Place your dog standing over the opening with their back end towards the opening.
- Bring the opening up and over their back, then gently pull the ThunderShirt up and over their chest and neck.
- Secure the Velcro strips along their sides and belly to fasten it snugly but not too tight.
- Give your dog lots of praise and treats to help them associate the ThunderShirt with positive experiences.
Be patient, as it may take some time for your dog to get used to wearing the ThunderShirt. But with positive reinforcement, it can really help calm anxiety issues like fireworks, storms, or separation anxiety.
