When we took in our first male foster we were asked "do you have some belly bands?". My response was "what the heck are you talking about?" A belly band is the best thing ever invented and has saved a lot of furniture from male foster boys coming into a new setting. Lots of these boys are stressed out and often not neutered which can lead to "leg lifting" in the house. The belly bad wraps around their waste and cover the penis so when the dog lifts his leg he wets the band which is not a good feeling. Lots of dogs figure out pretty quickly that this band isn't so comfortable and graduate to being belly band free. Getting neutered also helps a ton!
Hopefully the days of belly bands will be over soon as they went in this morning to be neutered and get all their vetting up to date!

| Owen isn't a fan of the belly band & hangs his head in "belly band shame" |

| For the most part Dunham could care less about his band. |

Dunham has figured out that the belly band can also be a fun game!
