Blue and white female sheltie...very small and answers to "Riley"

I know this sounds hilarious, and i did not believe it till i saw it and tried it...but the thundershirt works.....the dog totally calms down....and now today i saw a calming mask.....don't know if that works but the thundershirt does work....you can order them on line or buy them at your pet...
