We are still struggling with Rumble to understand the concept that he cannot jump up on us and bite us. We have been working with a positive reinforcement trainer since Rumble was about 3 months old and he just doesn't seem to get it. I have posted on here before about everything we have tried which includes using commands (no, off, leave it, etc.), yelping like a puppy, spraying water in the face, putting coins in a bottle and shaking it, keeping him on a leash inside the house at all times, time outs, etc. Nothing seems to phase him when he gets in these moods. Our trainer recently recommended trying a little aromatherapy to calm him down. It is a mixture she makes which includes things like lavender, almond oil and chamomile. She recommends either putting it on his bed or on a bandana around his neck. Has anyone ever tried this before? Am I crazy to try to resort to this? I just want some peace in our house again!
