I’ve been talking about the dramatic emotional effects Spirit Essences can have ever since I tried them on two of my dogs who had territorial and fearful issues. I continue to be amazed at the inner balance or mellowness which these essences have imparted – different ones for the two dogs and with different effects. Spirit Essences are linked on my website with a separate page.
Hi Tracie – I have been trying to find the information for the homeopathic liquid you had talked about giving your two dogs – you give them two herbal supplements? You said five drops on the ears or feet. The other was more for aggressive behavior. I have a Tibetan Terrier, 15 month old female puppy that is being shown in conformation. She has an amazing amount of energy. She has been growling at dogs (not all the time), especially the longer she probably hasn’t been exercised. I am not showing her myself, and the handler can handle her but she thinks that it happens when she is tired. She does it with me also. She can be corrected, but this is sort of new. Seems like it is either stress or protective related. Can you tell me info on those two herbs that you were talking about?
Thanks so much. I enjoy your show,
Jill
In the case of this Tibetan Terrier – as with any dog exhibiting aggressive behavior of any kind – the very first thing that must be checked by a vet is overall health. Blood levels – especially of thyroid –or any cause of pain (dental? Joint pain?) Once medical problems have been ruled out, Spirit Essences need to be utilized along with behavior modification worked on with a trainer. The Spirit Essences may give your little girl some immediate relief from whatever insider her is triggering this growling and aggressive attitude – but you need a dog trainer, not a dog handler, to help her over this behavior. You might also want to consider whether the dog is being stressed by going to dog shows or perhaps this handler is not the right fit for her – you need to objectively look at that possibility. As you know Tibetan Terriers are not terriers in the general sense and therefore this kind of behavior is entirely out of character for the breed, which is a sweet tempered companion dog. As for the Spirit Essences, from what you say I’d say that “Safe Space” should go in her food and “Peacemaker” should be rubbed on her paw pads and ears. But a look on that page of my website will give you descriptions of behavior and which flower essences are most appropriate to handle them.
