Hi, I'm new here and have a question... First a bit of background - I have a gorgeous 3 year old male Staffy. On Christmas Day he had a traumatic incident when we were visiting friends for lunch. He got electrocuted on their electric fence, panicked, ran away and got lost. I found him an hour later in a field, very traumatised, heavy panting, shivering etc. It took ages to calm him. Subsequently he's become very clingy and if I take him to friends houses to visit or new environments, he goes straight back into panic mode, heavy panting, leaping onto my lap etc. It's like he has PTSD. How can I help him? How can I calm and reassure him? I'm really at a loss. Many thanks for any suggestions/advice?
