I had a dog (I adored this dog and she was "mine" in the sense that she really was a fairly one person dog who viewed most of the humans as her minions) who I took to t-touch workshop and they had thunder coats. My dog endured the workshop but did not enjoy it and the being t touched (particularly by strangers) and the thunder coat made her miserable. At the end of each exercise - the touchers would give a report and for the other dogs it was like "I felt him relax under my hands" and "She seemed so much calmer after the touching" and when they reported on my dog "This dog did not seem to like it" "I could not get her to relax" "She seemed more worried at the end than at the beginning."

When I got home with her (and I had to buy back her happiness that day with tater tots and a hamburger) and told my partner and friends - the first thing out of everyone's mouth was "how did you make that dog a replica of yourself?"
