That would be a great idea about the t-shirt. I’ll have to remember that if it happens with someone close. I has Finn on the leash....as we’re umbilical cord training. My mistake was trying to force a meet & great. He’s doing better. He was fearful of my 6 foot medical skeleton too. I started putting the bacon treats around it. Baby steps
