There is no scientific data that says these sprays work. I assume that you are talking about spray attractants for housetraining a puppy. The best advice is to look at reviews on Amazon and choose one with the best reviews. Because veterinarians don't really study these kinds of things and most of the recommendations come from dog trainers based on personal experience with using them. Also if you ask top dog trainers they will not focus so much on the spray attractants, but instead will focus on consistent training methods to get your pet to use the potty on the pee pads only. Which involves close monitoring of your puppy, diligence to picking up your puppy and taking her to the puppy pad when she goes somewhere else, and crating your puppy when you cannot monitor her at all times.

Poor boy! I would try a calming collar like sentry or adaptil. You can also try essential oils that are calming. I would talk to a good company like DoTerra to get more information on which oils are safe for pets. Also, I would talk to your vet about starting him on a anti-anxiety medicine like fluoxetine and hire a trainer to show you the best ways to train this out of him. It is usually recommended for them to be on some type of medication while re-training them. Finally, if you don't want to use medication, you can try to find a holistic vet to try Chinese herbs and acupuncture. There have been some good success with this as well. I hope this helps!

If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond

Poor Freeman! You can get a pheromone diffuser called DAP that helps dogs with anxiety and pair that will a DAP pheromone collar that releases pheromones when in contact with his skin. If those do not help him, then I recommend having him seen by a vet to discuss the use of anti-anxiety medications. Best of luck.

The Sentry will kill the fleas on your dog, however, unfortunately, fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly (you already have done that) 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. resto (ticks as well).
