  • What about adding another oil that may be less appealing to him? Got to say, I think that this is a completely new one on here!
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    I have found that most dogs HATE citrus. They do that funny thing where they curl up their top lip? That is because they have a gland (forget what it is called) and the lip curling is to expose the smell to that gland.. they then back off... (try sticking orange peelings near a dog's muzzle, you will see what I mean) I would therefore try orange oil... or, hang fresh orange peelings on strings near the windows til they were dry...
    Good luck!
  • Thanks both I will definately try the orange oil
