Here is a very simple way to keep your dog from having a nervous breakdown during thunderstorm or firework displays!
This even helps dogs who are nervous when riding in the car or going to a vets office. It’s a very calming technique that helps them to stay relaxed and feel safe.
All you need to apply this technique is a simple scarf or piece of fabric about 2 inches wide. You start wrapping at the chest, cross in the back at the withers, bring the ends underneath the chest, crossing them and back up & tie into place (just to the side of the spine).
You don’t want to put any pressure on the spine.
This is essentially a hug and is the next best thing to having your arms around your pet.
