Why pressure calms a frightened dog
A frightened dog's body is stuck in alarm β heart racing, muscles tight, senses flooded. Steady, even pressure around the torso gives the nervous system something constant to hold on to, the same way a swaddle settles a newborn or a weighted blanket settles you. It isn't magic and it isn't medicine. It's a physical signal that says: you're held, you're safe, this will pass.
The next storm is already on the calendar
Fireworks, thunder, moving day, the vet. Be ready before she is scared.
