Aromatherapy
cost - $35  half hour
$8 for 1/2 ounce blend
Olfaction, or the process of  'smelling', is the dogs primary sense. Depending on the study you read, a dogs olfactory sense is 1,000 - 10,000 times greater than ours, what ever the number it is safe to say that their 'nose knows'! For example, a human has 5 million receptors to detect scent, a dog has 220 million. They are well engaged in the scent world long before we can detect anything. Using scents to our advantage in training and modifying an emotional responses is very beneficial to our dogs. Aromatherapy is a useful and powerful tool when combined with training, modifying and adding new structure to your plan. We have had great success with our essential oil blends to assist in creating a calm environment, hydrosol in home and/or new environments, and single essential oils when used with a diffuser. An aromatherapy consultation is focused on finding the right scent for your needs with your dog. We also discuss proper use as well as safety. We will supply you with the recipe if you want to make your own or we can make a blend for you and your dog. NOTE - synthetic scents such as plug ins, 'spa perfumes', impregnated calming material for crates, or bathroom aerosols are NOT intended for therapeutic use.  All essential oils/hydrosols and blends need to be from the best and cleanest plant source possible
Available M-F 10-2 pm
