FOTD DOG BEHAVIOUR SPRAYS - BARKING
Excessive barking is one of the most common complaints where dogs are concerned and the most common reasons for barking are :-
All the above are stress factors and when we are really stressed our bodies release a hormone called ACTH which actually blocks learning. Our Barking spray will go a long way to helping to reduce the stress and the dog will be more open to changing the behaviour. An additional 'tool' to assist you, is that behaviour modifcation suggestions are supplied for general barking as well.
When you receive your spray, it will be in a dark coloured bottle with a sealed top. To use, open the top, remove the stopper and insert the spray attachment. Keep the bottle out of the sunlight and should you not be using for a period of time - then replace the sealed cap to avoid evaporation.
With Barking, it is suggested that the spray is used twice a day and in any circumstances where the dog barks excessively (such as at the front door).

There are two methods to apply:
- Spray onto your own hands and then stroke over your dogs face, avoiding the eyes. This will allow the spray to be efficiently absorbed by the olfactory system. The highly volatile molecules are absorbed through the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes and mouth from where they are dispersed. The anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects of numerous organic extracts are well-documented and are now being explored to a far greater degree.
- You can spray above the dog’s head and allow the mist to drift down onto the dogs face.The spray is totally natural and safe, even around children and pregnant ladies. It is best not to spray directly onto the dog's coat, especially if your dog is one of the albino breeds where skin can be more sensitive.
