Irrational Fear in Microshits

First this has nothing to do with the dog being a microshit. I've known people with 80 pound dogs who get so terrified by thunder they shit themselves. I've also seen collies terrified of rain, and many others. This is a dog problem in general.

Have you tried a Thunder Shirt? It is a tight fittint dog shirt designed to reduce anxiety. It doesn't treat the underlying anxiety, but it can reduce their stress. I would give that a shot, and if it does not woek, then consult with a professional behaviorist.

We considered it but never bothered because we figured it'd be useless. But I suppose since everything else doesn't seem to work it might be worth trying.

I have seen thunder shirts work. But I have seen them not do much. I guess it depends ultimately on the dog. Some absolutely do not like it. I guess if it doesn't work, you could always take it back.

I've had friends and coworkers swear by them, or think they just do nothing. It's not a 100% thing, but it also isn't just some dumb scam. They can work and do sometimes work, so it is definitely worth a shot.

I've a shih tzu who, if he could, would fly up into the atmosphere and wrestle the lightning out of zeus' own hand.

It's not the breed at fault.

For some reason, I pictured a shitzu flying through the sky with superman pose into ominous dark clouds with Zeus rearing back to throw a bolt.

Made me smile.
