I was so happy to get this email because it gives me a chance to tell everyone who missed that episode of Dog Talk® that they should have a listen! I am so excited by the emotional shifts I have found in my two dogs with intense issues around arrivals at the house – and just noises in general, to which they react intensely. Since using two Spirit Essences – “Safe Space for Dogs” and “Stress Stopper”. Scooby Doo calmed down so dramatically that I have been treating Jazzy, my very butch and protective Border Collie/sled dog mix with the same essences. We all seem to be taking a deep breath and saying “Om”!
Hi Tracie:
I am the mommy of a 3 1/2 year old Havanese (see picture) named Mojito who has terrible separation anxiety and an occasional territory-based leash aggression issue (especially when we take his 20 month human sister, Hannah, on walks). I caught the beginning of your broadcast yesterday, 11/19, wherein you mentioned Spirit Essences that helped Scooby-Doo’s territorial-ness and jumpiness. Do you mind sharing which essences you started with?
I have used Bach Flower in Mo’s water, but it does not seem to have much of an effect.
Thanks,
Shayne – Calabasas, California
What I told Shayne is that I personally never saw any effect in using Bach Flower Rescue Remedy in the past, but I now think it is because it is so generalized and not aimed at specific emotional conditions. In addition, putting it in water has always seemed a big waste to me since it disperses and the dog takes in so very little with a few sips. Instead, I have been putting it on top of the food and then rubbing it into the inside of their earlobes for fast absorption into their system. I don’t think Mojito’s problem is the same as my nutty dogs, but there are Spirit Essences that would be great for him. Check with Jackson Galaxy who owns the company in an email and see whether he agrees with my recommendation of “Separation Anxiety Remedy” along with “Peacemaker.” And I really, really want to know how it works for your little beauty – the only way to know if I am just imaging the benefits is to hear how it works for each listener. And don’t forget the 5% discount for CatChat® or DogTalk®!
