Our dog barks excessively especially when he sees someone or another dog outside our patio door. He will get so worked up, running back and forth from front door to patio door barking. It got so frequent and ... well, annoying, so we decided to try the thundershirt. I put it on him for the first time this evening and he transformed into a totally different dog. He didn't try to get the shirt off like he always does with normal dog clothes. But, he was so awkward. He was so calm, it was just weird. He wouldn't fetch, which is his favorite activity or kiss us like he usually does. He didn't go anything. He didn't seem to dislike the shirt, but he was so strange. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Will he get more comfortable in the thundershirt or is this the behavior we should expect??
