I hope you see some relaxing of tension in both dogs.Pamelahttp://www.somethingwagging.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-72344464588149066362012-05-18T21:24:59.524-04:002012-05-18T21:24:59.524-04:00Talk about something I have never seen before.

And the answer is YES YES YES. All the shelters are full of them. However, they also label an unknown dog "pit mix" even when they clearly aren't so some of that is skewed. The alarming amount of unwanted pit bulls here is part of what made me realize I couldn't imagine having any other type of dog. You know that and the fact that I think they're the most amazing dogs ever. ;)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650445910092342851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-2127737291000313892012-05-18T19:39:58.011-04:002012-05-18T19:39:58.011-04:00hmmmm, interesting.We have a feeling it will have ...hmmmm, interesting.We have a feeling it will have the opposite effect with us<br />Snuggles<br />Benny & LilyTwo French Bulldogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10504475675258871866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-21892954325005437882012-05-18T15:19:53.838-04:002012-05-18T15:19:53.838-04:00Very interesting...

I could see how this would work. We never had much luck with a thundershirt but perhaps something like this is worth a go to help with her separation anxiety. I am so glad you have had so much success with Lamar!Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942859130560139570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-72884757314292648232012-05-18T13:18:23.177-04:002012-05-18T13:18:23.177-04:00T-Touch is pretty amazing, but I have never seen s...T-Touch is pretty amazing, but I have never seen some of this being implemented.

Another option is the Thundershirt that helps with anxiety, stress and fear.

People are always looking for a barking "fix", and that would be a great thing to recommend to get them into "better" training and handling methods (TTouch as opposed to, say, bark collars)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-45597669089658591182012-05-18T09:02:35.164-04:002012-05-18T09:02:35.164-04:00We have been using a Gentle Leader on Fred for a w...We have been using a Gentle Leader on Fred for a while to calm him when the grandkids are around. It works great and we are now at the point where we can take it off after about 5 minutes. I guess it's the same idea as the elastic.

Somewhat related to the calming cap and the thunder shirt? <br /><br />I didn't know about the area under the eyes releasing endorphins but Georgia does enjoy being gently massaged there, around her eye sockets and along her muzzle. Now I know why. Live and learn :)georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.com
