How It Works

Thundershirt’s patent-pending design is a pressure wrap that applies a gentle, constant pressure on a dog’s torso.

A survey of Thundershirt users shows that over 85% of dogs show significant improvement in at least one anxiety symptom when using Thundershirt.

As for WHY Thundershirt's gentle pressure works to calm a dog…no one knows for sure. There are theories, but no scientific studies to prove them. According to some experts such as Dr. Temple Grandin, pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system. Using pressure to relieve anxiety has been a common practice for years.

For example:

• TTouch dog trainers use pressure to address noise anxiety and a variety of other anxieties.
• Veterinarians use pressure to relax cattle when they are administering vaccinations.
• Some autistic people use pressure to relieve their persistent anxiety. Until now, there just hasn’t been a well-designed, inexpensive pressure wrap commonly used for canine anxiety.

Thundershirt intends to change that!

How To Use Thundershirt:

Thundershirt is an excellent treatment for most types of canine anxiety. For many anxieties, we recommend just putting on a Thundershirt and observing the results (No training!)…You very well may see significant improvement for noise, crate, travel and others with absolutely no training.

For more complicated anxiety cases, we recommend using Thundershirt as part of a behavior modification program. One thing is for certain, for a very large percentage of dogs, Thundershirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a terrific calming effect. This has obvious benefits for most types of anxiety. But Thundershirt is also a very useful tool for managing excitability or hyperactivity with strangers, on the leash, or in a training environment.

Thundershirt’s calming effect helps a dog to focus (or refocus) her energies in a more constructive direction, allowing training to be more effective.

Introducing Thundershirt to Your Dog, and How to Put It On

Before putting Thundershirt on your dog for the first time, we recommend offering a small amount of food to your dog using the Thundershirt as a “plate”.   Dogs typically become more comfortable and trusting of something that “brings” them food or anything that they associate with food.  So this is an easy little trick to quickly create a positive association with Thundershirt for your dog.

Thundershirt has been developed to be very easy to put on.  Just lay it over your dog’s back and secure with the chest and torso straps.  The Velcro fasteners make Thundershirt very adjustable to many different body shapes.  See the illustrations and steps below for more information about how to put Thundershirt on.
