Supposedly it really works for noise phobia and the prevention of noise phobia. Might be worth a look...
I will look into it. The dog of mine who acted like the thundershirt was more like a hair shirt also failed tellington touch. Whenever the head tellington toucher started trying to massage her, she turned her head and looked at me like WTF is this stranger touching me for. The trainer said my dog got more tense when she was being therapeutically touched. Even when I would try it, she would not like it much - she did not get stiff like when it was the stranger, but she wasn't flopping and relaxed like some of the dogs in the class. I bought her a hamburger after the training class that day, and that was the first happy reaction I got out of her that day. We did not go back.
I loved that dog.
