PET PONCHO


I am a proud mommy of a little Shih tzu, a Dachshund,and a Chihuahua, I wanted a quick item, to keep them all warm, for those potty trips outdoors , with out fighting with straps and putting little legs in sweater holes.. because when they gotta go, they gotta go!!! So I decided to create them all a Poncho to wear.
They love them, and so do I…problem solved. ;o)
The Small fits my Chihuahua, the medium size fits the Shih tzu and Dachshund, the large would fit a Schnauzer nicely.
Remember you can change needle and yarn size to accommodate your pet, go bigger for a larger size, and go smaller for a tiny size.
This pattern takes less than one skein of the Loops and thread yarn, I actually got two Ponchos out of one skein. But you could use any 4ply worsted weight yarn (Red heart Super saver would work great)
Body of Poncho is worked flat and seamed, neck ribbing is worked in the round on dpn’s or two circular method.
Don't forget the Cat, I have made two of these for the neighbors kitty’s, our feline friends get cold too!
Happy Knitting!
Pattern is available in our Ravelry and Craftsy shops.

TTouch Mock Anxiety Wrap and Dachshund Anxiety Swaddling Sweater


Tellington Touch or TTouch is a form of massage, ground exercises and training methods that help animals relax and focus, connecting their physical actions with appropriate emotional responses. TTouch is used to release fear, tension, and improve self-confidence so that learning, activity, or socialization can proceed. The Body Wrap is a TTouch technique that uses moderate pressure to comfort the mind and body during periods of stress, travel, loud noises, hyperactivity, or injury.
Builds confidence in your little dogs world.
Please note, not all aids work for all dogs, but this method has a 80% success rate, for more information, you may search Ttouch wraps for dogs online , and decide for yourself if this is right for your dog.
Links included in file.
Most ttouch wrapping is done with an ace bandage, however I wanted something a little prettier for my Lucy, so I knitted up this mock version of a ace bandage.
Pattern is FREE and downloadable in our Ravelry Shop:

Not to long ago a sweet little Red Dapple Dachshund puppy, came to live at our home, having raised many pups from a very young age, I soon discovered the extreme Anxiety that this breed can exhibit. She (Lucy B.T.W.) Would absolutely freak out , if I left a room, more so than normal puppies. If I was out of sight the barking and whining would commence, and it took about 30 mins, to settle her
down when I would return to her. All the while whimpering, and whining …..
Story continues in the pdf file. We are having great success with this training aid.
