I tried my first spray ever from XS (sorry Androtics, give me some time to decide what I want) and my poor rescue female pittie went nuts! I have had her for almost 6 years and she, like most bully breeds, is very competitive for alpha. She gets anxious if new people are sleeping over at our house (pees on their luggage, such a beezy!) and will immediately steal your seat once you get up, etc. She was sniffing me everywhere I applied it non-stop and was licking me uncontrollably. She got a lot of extra energy out of no where and became really playful but in a submissive way, extra belly rubs, intense puppy dog eye contact, whining for attention, all of this was cute but annoying and a bit worrisome. I will be the first to admit that my dog comes first. In a burning building, the hottie I’m sleeping with is on his own, I’m rescuing my dog first (sorry I know that’s totally effed up)… so my point of concern is I don’t want to inadvertently stress her out! Anyone else have any pointers or experience with this? ---

Hi, my dog goes nuts when I first walk in the house wearing mones. It’s almost like he doesn’t know me once he realizes its me he calms back down but is also sniffing me excessively. ---

Yep, animals are very much affected by mones. They don’t recognize your natural [pheromone](https://a314.com/shop/) signature they are used to and start behaving weirdly. If someone doesn’t believe these products work, let them wear some around their pet. Should make them instant believers… ---

so as long as I use enough positive reinforcement, she will slowly start to recognize the new scent as nothing to worry about? Like I said, she’s a rescue and the move across the country was extremely traumatizing for her. It doesn’t seem to elicit a negative response but I just worry she is trying to “win” me for “approval”- I’ve been training dogs for a while so I don’t know if any of this resonates with you guys. Thanks for responding! ---

My cats can sometimes get annoyingly cuddly when I wear some stuff. They won’t leave me alone. ---

IMHO, Using a dog as a feedback party for your phero mixture (natural or synthetic) is interesting in a few ways. 1. They are free of _human_ social pressures. No pandering, no subtext, no backhanded compliments or mixed signals. Dogs display very straightforward “emotions”. 2. The dog’s elongated sniffer barrel is packed with 220 million olfactory receptors in their nose. Humans? 50 million. Some interesting olfactory tidbits from the Smelliverse: `http://www.pheromonetalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1021&stc=1&d=1393908944` `http://www.pheromonetalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1022&stc=1&d=1393908944` `http://www.pheromonetalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1023&stc=1&d=1393908944` **The Canine Sensory Experience** Dogs are colour-blind, but they don’t see in black and white. Rather, a dog sees yellow over most of its visual spectrum, with hints of teal and violet. Even though a dog sees colours that are familiar to us, it doesn’t see them at the same wavelengths that we do. None of this really matters, because colour isn’t important to a dog. Humans rely on their colour vision to tell the chemical composition of matter - i.e. the ediblity of foods. Dogs rely on their vision to perceive movement and distance, dark and light. Everything else about the world it needs to know, its nose can tell it. A dog’s immense sensitivity to scent - said to be a thousand times greater than ours - allows it to gather highly detailed information and detect the faintest of chemical traces. For a comparison fathomable to the human senses, this is like looking through a microscope instead of a naked eye, or listening to a live symphony instead of a gramophone record. **The olfactory chamber of a dog is so complex, its surface area is equal to the dog’s entire hide. When a dog sniffs, pushing air in and out of its nasal passage, it rouses the scent particles and washes them repeatedly over its olfactory glands, mulling over the scent.** **The dog’s full olfactory system - the nasal cavity, olfactory gland, and olfactory lobe - is larger than its brain.** Source: [On the internet, everyone knows I am a dog. - The Canine Sensory Experience ? Dogs are…](http://canisantiquus.tumblr.com/post/49997947294/the-canine-sensory-experience-dogs-are) Some more goodies: **Jacobson’s Organ** Inside the nasal cavity and opening into the upper part of the mouth is the final piece of the dog’s scent-related puzzle, the remarkable Jacobson’s Organ. Jacobson’s Organ is a “sense of smell” receptor that is actually not receptive to ordinary odors. Rather, the scenting nerve cells of the organ are quite different from those in normal olfactory tissue in that they respond to a range of substances that have large molecules, but often no detectable odor. The sensory cells of Jacobson’s Organ (which anatomists claim are unlike any other nerve cells) communicate not with the olfactory bulbs and cortex, but with the accessory bulbs and the part of the brain that coordinates mating and other basic emotions. In fact, recent evidence suggests that the two separate but parallel systems of odor detection cooperate in surprising ways to produce novel sensibilities not achievable by either of them on their own. The primary function of the Organ is to detect [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/), which then provides both sexes with information as to the availability of the opposite sex for breeding. Additionally the Organ is apparently able to detect other, normally undetectable, odors – odors that may enhance the newborn’s ability to find its own dam, for example. Search and rescue dog handlers notice that many of their dogs lick the air, as if to give additional input into their “scents-ability.” Animals enhance the sex-detection ability of the Organ with what is called the “flehmen” reaction or “flared face.” When exposed to the urine of an animal in heat, a male will typically throw back his head and raise or curl his upper lip – both of these help to open the entry slits into Jacobson’s Organ. Horses, deer, and goats are the masters of this reaction, and many dogs can produce a rather pronounced flehmen when the time is right.

There’s also reports floating around somewhere about dog training and A314, which I’m sure a search could turn up. ---

Leave it Brian F to include awesome diagrams! (I’m still waiting on the other chart you promised me) Thanks for sharing- I will def post how the different mones change her behavior. I mean, she is my other half after all. She really loves boys- I should get a boyfriend just to make her happy. I tried a boy roomie but once he got a gf he’s never here. The things I do for my bitch. \<3 ---

I did it, honey! You have been diagrammed. That sentence makes no sense. Try P96 with dogs, cats, and horses. I’ve personally noticed a strange mammalian comfort/bonding effect. Low dose, somewhere in the 5-20 mcg/range. ---
