Essential Oils for Stressed Out Dogs

Whew! Settled.

Tessa is with me for training. Initially, her family was seeing aggressive behavior with her new sister when mom and dad moved in together. My assessment was she lacked enough leadership, rules and structure. But living with her for 4 days now I see a high level of stress. Mom mentioned SA but her anxiety and stress are seen in many aspects of day-to-day tasks, not just when she is alone.

Compulsive behaviors. Chasing light flickers. Ball obsession. Unable to be contained (baby gate, tether, behind a fence, etc if you are around she expects to be with you. She wants In my lap, and was told no. She paces. She pants. She shakes a bit when she’s restrained from what she wants.

Tonight she has wanted to go outside repeatedly.... why there is a ball outside the fence and she wants it. She knows it’s there and can’t reach it.

We have been training, Treadmilling, and working on problem-solving techniques. She has had playtime with the other dogs. Yet tonight she was unable to settle.

Her agitation was affecting the other dogs' ability to settle.

My ace in the hole. Essential oils. 

She finally settled tonight with an anointing of stress away, lavender, and clarity. There are many options to choose from.

Essential oils are a key part of my behavior training.

My go to oils for a dog who needs to chill out and settle down include Cedarwood, Vetiver, & Lavender. Any of the chamomile oils or Valarian would be helpful as well. You can mix and match your own blend for your dog. We have many options to choose from. I would also look a Peace & Calming, Stress Away, or Tranquil. Gentle Baby, SleepyIyze or the new KidsScents Unwind work great for puppies!!!
