The Katzke Dog Diary

You never know what you might learn. In this case, It’s a fascinating little bit over at One Bark at a Time about alarm pheremones and dog reactions with the link to the original article at Ars Technica in the first paragraph. Now that, that’s just plain ol’ fascinating and it points out yet again why having control over your dog’s level of arousal is so important in social interactions. Oh, and I found One Bark at a Time via Caveat.

I wonder if there’s an “antidote” to this fear pheremone that can be sprayed in high stress areas like kennels and shelters to subdue anxious dogs? I mean, one that works on a scientific basis, as opposed to the snake oil misters that are currently on the market.
