Well, Honey's Thundershirt has arrived! Really quick delivery, just 2 days!
Here's hoping it will help her be less stressed and fearful of things!
We've been for 3 walks in it today, no incidents, but there wasnt really anything she would have stressed about on those walks anyway (apart from a massive GSD on the other side of the road, but she just looked at him, looked at me, and walked on )
We also went to the pet shop, there was a lady with a stall right outside the door with 2 collies sitting nicely with her. I didnt want Honey to get stressed about them on the way in, so i had to pick her up and walk past (she was good, didnt stress). She went on the floor as soon as we got in, walked round the shop, cocked her leg up a bag of Bakers and did a wee (i did laugh! :laughing3, growled at a man who got too close (but didnt go for him) so i told her thanks for letting me know she was uncomfortable (i actually said this to her LOL!) and walked her down the next aisle. We bought a couple of bits, then i thought we'd be brave and go for it - confidently marching out the shop (collies still at the side of the door) and she did great, looked at them, but maybe because i was walking off and she couldnt do anything about it, she walked with me
Here's a pic of her in it;
Will update more as the days go by
