What is Pheromone Therapy?

The secret is a natural chemical produced by nursing dogs known as an appeasing pheromone, which reassures puppies that they are safe and secure. This pheromone reduces stress for both puppies and adult dogs by providing them with a sense of safety and security. By relaxing and comforting puppies and dogs, this pheromone helps control urges to bark, whine and destroy surroundings.
