Flowers Essences for Dogs work on their mind, body and spirit. Physical health conditions often manifest from deeper emotional imbalances. For example: a dog may start leaving surprises (defecating) on your bed or urinating indoors when they are unhappy about something. This may be due to you spending less time at home or the arrival of a new baby.
Anxiety, jealousy, anger, loneliness, resentment and other stresses can affect pets just as they affect people, causing a number of health related conditions. In cases such as this, it is necessary to work on the pet’s emotional well-being, rather than just treating the physical symptoms of the skin disorder.
Behavioural problems such as biting and aggression may also benefit from flower essences. it should be combined with appropriate training techniques, but will assist during this time to modify the behaviour. A dog may show aggression when a new pet is introduced into the household.
Flower essences can be used for animals that have been abandoned, abused or mistreated in the past, helping to restore their trust and confidence.
Separation anxiety, territorial spraying, urinating inside, fear or thunder or fireworks, over-possessive pets that will not leave your side, bossy, dominating animals or those who are timid and submissive may all benefit from flower essences.
