Heleen Prinsloo - TTouch Practitioner - Behaviour Student - Grief Spray
The Grief spray helped both me and my cat of 22 years when it was time to say good bye as she was crossing the rainbow bridge. The appointment was made with the vet and is was decided that it was time for her to help Bochelli. An appointment was made for the next day. It was time for her to go . Both Bochelli (my cat) and myself were more ready, thanks to the Grief spray. I used it 2-5 times during our 20 minutes drive to the vet, both for me and Bochelli. We were both calm, ready and it made the entire heartbreaking process much easier. Because she was afraid of being sprayed, i sprayed it over the jacket that covered the cat carrier. I am so thankful for the Grief spray and what it did for both me and Bochelli. I would recommend it for any animal

Nicole - Dog Parent - Barking Spray
I had some Avalon Pure that you made up for Alfie about 18 months ago - he used to scream the house down when we arrived home and bark incessantly at visitors. It has worked brilliantly. We are moving to a flat shortly so will be ordering some more just in case!

It truly is a wonderful product. My Diza is usually inconsolable no matter what product I've tried. I started the Avalon Pure a week before New Year's Eve and even though it was the worst ever last year and neighbours right next door to me were setting off big bangs - Diza didn't bat an eyelid. I took her to the quiet spare room with a few treats and the radio on, and we had a nice cuddle session. First calm New Year's Eve I've had in nine years!

Mary van der Merwe - Rescue Spray
Such an amazing story to tell. Our female Bully had 3 cysts which we were told to watch. The big one on her back burst on Saturday so obviously she had to have them cut out, I was a nervous wreck because the vet comes to us once a year for vaccinationsJ we don’t go to the vet…..
Yesterday morning I used the Rescue spray 3 times within 15 minutes, loaded her and myself in the back seat of the car, buckled us in and TTouched all the way to the vet. She was so calm all the way that she even fell asleep! Once there I did a balance lead on her halter (not ideal) but she walked quite happily next to me. My dear husband was totally stunned!! Hahahiehie, he has been telling me the spray is hocus pocus and the TTOUCH a load of nonsense! he hasn’t said another word. (Mary had also just attended a TTouch workshop)

Linda Piegl - Dog parent - Barking Spray
I sometimes take my dogs to a dog friendly beer garden after we have gone for a walk for one quick beer (water for them) before we head home again. Previously they have never really settled down and barked at every newcomer and every noise.
The first time I used the Avalon Pure Barking Spray on them (now FOTD Vehaviour Sprays), was as I was getting ready to take them on a walk. There is always huge commotion because they are very excited and love their walks.
When we stopped in at the beer garden I immediately noticed their behaviour was different - more confident and when the waiter came up to take the order my male dog ignored him - usually he barks and especially at human males!
When the female waitress brought the beer she was also ignored. Nearby a baby was screaming her head off and was ignored! This was unbelievable. And then they both LAY DOWN! Never done that before! They looked happy and content like I have never seen at the beer garden before. They got up and lay down several times but that was still huge for them! A Ridgeback even came up and sniffed and they were fine! My female who usually thinks she's a Rotti and gets in other dogs' faces went tail down submissive! It can only be the spray! I am delighted.
Linda Piegl - Update
Just some more good news about the Barking Spray I'd like to share with you.
Dane usually barks at the vacuum cleaner and Edie moves out of the room. Today they both lay on their pillow watching me in silence as I was vacuuming and only when I came up to their pillow did they go outside! I'm so chuffed - thank you!!!!

Kim McAdam - dog parent- Barking Spray
Brilliant!
Aside from quietening the bark down, it also definitely calms them - they don’t start the day running around frantically jumping and going at one another. Love it.

Lynne Baxter - Vet Practice Manager and dog parent - General Anxiety & Storm Fear
I started puppy classes with my Swiss shepherd Eira with Scotty Valadao. Eira is a large puppy and very over the top, very excitable and playful. Eira got very excited each time we went to puppy school and I was finding it difficult to keep her attention on my commands. Scotty is very helpful and started using the General Anxiety Spray on Eira. What a difference this spray made, if I had not seen it for myself I would not have believed it!! Eira calmed down and I could then work with her in puppy class. I then took my next puppy, a Shar Pei named Khan to Scotty's puppy school. Khan was nervous and fearful of all the people and strange things at the venue. Scotty again used the General Anxiety Spray on Khan. He calmed down and children ran by and he was fine. Khan even went and sat down next to a young boy!!! I do not have children so both my pups shy away from kids being kids!! The General Anxiety Spray works and lasts for longer than the hour puppy class. I work at a vet and we are finding the spray helpful. I have bought this spray and use it when I need to at home to calm all my fur babies down. My Blue Shar Pei Ming is fearful of thunderstorms. Here is a picture of all my babies, Ming has on a wrap and with the wrap and General Anxiety Spray, Ming is not stressed at all with thunderstorms. What a difference this spray has made in our lives and thank you Scotty for helping me and my babies, you really do such amazing work with animals.

Katherine Brown - Canine Behaviourist and dog parent - Barking, Gen Anx & Storm Fear
I used the Storm Fear Spray for my animals - dogs and cats - during the fireworks season and during the massive storms experienced in Joburg. The spray had a significant calming effect on my animals and the usual heightened stress levels were nowhere to be seen.
I have used the Barking and General Anxiety Sprays extensively with a client's dogs, who are nervous and bark excessively. Again, the effects were significant, and I will now not work with these dogs without using the sprays. I have since recommended the sprays to numerous clients.
As both a behaviourist and dog parent, I'm always on the look-out for products that are effective, but don't have negative side-effects. I also prefer products that are natural. And that's what I've found - these sprays are amazing! Katherine Brown - Canine Behaviourist and dog parent.

Melissa Kleinhans – Dog parent - Fireworks & Noise Spray
Thank you soooo much for introducing me to the products. It works like a magic! I used the Fireworks spray as you advised on the 31st, and what a change from the commotion we had in 2012. I also put the wrap on her. She was unbelievingly calm. There were a few load bangs close to the house, when she did jump up and barked and ran through the house like a mad thing, but we managed to calm her down quickly. I had to sit on the ground with her, however, stroking and massaging, doing the t-touches, and that all seemed to help in keeping her calm.
As for the storm phobia, I’m using the spray every afternoon as directed and it also seems to keep her calm. We haven’t had many storms since I’m using the spray, but during the one or two storms we did have, Electra was very calm. She didn’t even react once to the thunder, only perked up her ears when she heard thunder. Usually she would bark and storm towards the windows trying to get out.
These products are really as good as you said on your website. Thank you very, very much.

Robynn Kaizer - Dog parent and animal friend - General Anxiety
I found a young Robin almost drowned in one of the horse's water buckets the other day. I scooped it up and brought it down to the tent, did my best to dry it off ... it was water-logged and 'gaping' with the inner eye lid closing - not good signs. Anyway, I gave it some Rescue Remedy, as I normally do, and was taking it back outside to sit in the sun when I suddenly thought of your spray. For a short while I thought it was really on it's way out as it was shaking so badly, but after 5 mins or so, sitting quietly in the sunshine amongst some herbs, the youngling suddenly looked around at me and flew off, landing on one of the tall garden poles for a while and then moving on. Such a lovely feeling to see it fly away!!:) am going to make sure I have some of your Anxiety Spray at hand at all times.

Angela Jenkins - Dog parent - Storm Spray - General Anxiety
I have a dog that goes simply beserk during storms and will run around in circles, panting, frothing at the mouth and if nobody is home will attempt to run away. I was at a loss as to what to do next as nothing I had tried had helped and the situation was getting worse. Scotty came to help me and in addition to giving me changes to bring in to help Kylie cope, she suggested I try the storm fear phobia combination - what a change!
We used the spray, the wrap and Scotty also suggested that as Kylie's fear was so bad, that I sprayed her daily with the general anxiety spray to help to lower her stress levels. Kylie is still not 100% accepting of storms but the reduction in her behaviour has to be seen to be believed. She will now just go and lie behind the sofa and does still pant a bit. However, it is nothing like it used to be and the relief I feel that my dog has been helped is beyond belief!

I have to say that the Storm Fear Phobia is working fantastically with Elvis. We got home just as the thunder and lightning began and I used of spray, and used the wrap for a while. He played with a toy instead of panting and following me around, and he even ate his dinner. He usually won't touch his food when there is a storm.

Quite, quite incredible. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it for myself. It's too dark to take a picture, but we currently have a thunderstorm in Midrand, and Solo, my 11-year-old Boerbeol, who has been afraid of storms all his life, is SLEEPING. Normally he would be trembling and panting. The reason? I have been using Avalon Pure sprays (now FOTD Dog Behaviour Sprays), specifically 'Storm Fear', and to say that it works is an understatement.

Roxy used to be very, very scared of storms, even when I took her with me into the bedroom. She cried and ran around trying to hide.
I used the Storm Fear Spray to use in the bedroom and around my home, and Roxy became happy and quiet and slept through the storm. I am also scared of storms, and even I slept all night like a baby.
I am very happy, as I use the spray every time we get storms and my Roxy is not scared any more.

Here is my update on Jeff, the night before last was actually the first big storm we’ve had since I started him on the spray and the results are absolutely fantastic! The first smaller storm we had, a few days after starting him on the spray, there wasn’t much of a change but I did notice that he recovered a lot quicker than normal and during the subsequent smaller storms he has continued to improve. During the storm two night ago, when he would normally have been pacing, panting, shaking and trying to hide, he got onto the bed with me, put his head in my lap and went to sleep, he still started and shivered a bit when there was a loud clap of thunder but went back to sleep almost immediately. It is such an absolutely huge improvement and I really can’t thank you enough, also for the advice about changing his habit of going into one particular room when it storms.
Thanks so much!
