Now he just lays near us and looks at the front door/windows, quite serenely. Only used it twice now - not the perfect longterm test, but so far - it sure does the trick.
Here's a pic of the TS from the advertisement/site - we used PETSporium on eBay.

If someone told you that your dog is a Shih Tzu, you've been mislead. He's a beagle.
Good to hear that Thundershirts work.
