I swear by the thundershirt for calming my 102# lab. I purchased it when he became frightened of thunder folowing the tornadoes that went through the villages some time ago. He is calm now during storms. Then he had a seizure a few years later. Again used the shirt to calm him as he was coming out of it and it really helped with his anxiety. This summer he needed surgery and was suppose to wear an Elizabethan collar which was horrible. I resorted to putting his thunder shirt on and he immediately calmed down leaving his incision alone to heal. Have known of other dogs that wear them while riding. Don't expect miracles..give them time to adjust to the shirt. Now when I bring his thunder shirt out, my dog eagerly awaits to have it put on him wagging his tail the whole time. Good luck.
