Bought Aesop a thundershirt with hopes that it will help dull his reactivity to strange dogs and allow him to focus on the training we've done. We've been working on the issue for about two years, with back and forth success. After putting the shirt on, we had the calmest walk we've had in a year. He still showed interest, because it is not a magic cloth
, but he was able to focus and respond to the things we've worked on over many months.
It was so nice to be able to enjoy a walk without worrying about your pants being ripped (he redirects).
He did react to our neighbor dog, because he hates him with all his being, but he called off the fence and came inside right away.
Hurray
