Our dog groot is a dachshund which most of the world knows means barking. When we started to see ShannonšŸ¾ to help socialize him and improve his skills on decreasing his barking she highly recommended the Thunder Jacket. We started using it on Groot for social events, fireworks, and any new visitors that would come to our home. He has improved tremendously and is now able to spread his word to even some of his siblings that were firework panicking or social anxiety driven. Thank you so much ShannonšŸ¾.
