Thundershirt?

My whippety lurcher dog had the WORST separation anxiety known to man! No one thing cured it. I trained him, a LOT over a period of a couple of months, I plugged in a DAP diffuser and sprayed him with DAP, He wore a thundershirt, had valerian before I went out, was left crated with a raw bone (I knew the risks but he wasnt interested in Kongs etc, bones he was!)and I walked him hard.

Honestly, the 2 things that made the difference were training and exercising him. The thundershirt had minimal effect, it didnt hurt and I think probably helped a tiny bit in conjunction with the other things, but alone absolutely wouldnt have worked at all
 
The thundershirt definitely has to be used in conjunction with a good exercise regime and establishing a good routine. Anyone expecting the thundershirt to be a replacement for decent walks, and a routine will be disappointed.
