[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 404709, member: 1233"] Shirts are often extremely beneficial for abused dogs and nervous dogs. The pressure of the shirt helps them to feel more secure according to every trainer we saw when we tried to adopt a dog a few years back. Poor thing had a past we didn't know about (of course) and just shook and shook and shook. Putting a shirt on her really helped - not because she was cold but likely for the same reason that lots of people with sensory issues like deep pressure. The poor dog just could not adjust to a house with kids and got to the point that she was wanting to bite the kids so we found a single college guy who had raised a couple of dogs who had been abused before he got them. His dogs had passed away and he wanted just 1. I see her around town now and then and she is the happiest dog you could ever want to see, clearly remembers me and seems to have really adjusted well. He told us that with abused dogs it can really help to have shirts on them even if they look miserable sometimes - that look can be attributed to the abuse in some dogs, not the shirt. (Not all, of course.) [/QUOTE]
