Re: [pyrnet] Worried mom

[Derek and Julie <dereknjulie@sbcglobal.net>]

Hello,
I have a 5 1/2 month Pyr named Helene. About 2 months ago we were having 
a lot of troubles with her biting us.  I was very concerned because we 
have a 1 year old  child.  I spoke to my trainer and she suggested using 
a spray bottle with water and adding a half of a bottle of essential oil 
Lavender.  It took just 2 sprays while saying "No biting" and she 
stopped biting us.  Now I just have to show her the bottle.  Sorry I 
can't help you with advise for your other dog. Hope this helps.
