And it\u2019s something that is not regulated. Not known much about, and. It\u2019s something I think you deserve to know more about. And because you know, there\u2019s a lot of questions.<\/p>\n<p>The interest in CBD products from dog owners is something that\u2019s growing really rapidly. And it\u2019s totally understandable because it\u2019s marketed as. Something that is potentially almost a cure-all. Which nothing ever is. So, seen as there isn\u2019t much research into the product, and it gets thrown around a lot as a possible solution for everything from your dog\u2019s anxiety to aggressive behavior.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rebarkable Podcast E006 - CBD &amp; Dog Training\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W0TOYp6TdFQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Investigation Begins\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So in order to find all of these answers, I\u2019ve been trying CBD out with my three dogs in various formats. To see what actually the truth is behind all of this marketing and using my insight as a professional dog trainer to see the calming effect on our training session, on anxious dogs, on aggressive dogs and see<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start this episode with what is CBD? CBD is an oil, a treat. Or an extract essentially that gets included in some. Things consumable by pets, in order to. Achieve a result, the results that CBD offers, typically, pain relief usually by our anti-inflammation. Like antiinflammatories rather,<\/p>\n<p>Or anxiety relief, which sounds phenomenal. And when you\u2019ve got dogs who are prone to anxiety or work with a lot of dogs who are prone to anxiety. It\u2019s something that you sort of go. I need to look into this, which is why I did. So CBD stands for cannabidiol, the C canna, bi B, Diol, D. And it\u2019s actually an extract from hemp.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Legalities of CBD<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>And if it\u2019s not an extract from hemp, it would be an extract from actual cannabis. And that is not legal in certain, certainly in the United States and in the UK from my research. But if you\u2019re not in those locations and it\u2019s not actually close to this time, it\u2019s always worth double checking online.<\/p>\n<p>And\/or with your vet. And see what\u2019s actually legal in your area. Because obviously. I\u2019m doing this now in. February, 2022. And things change. So currently the status is, is that extracts of hemp are legal. However, they must contain zero or. There is usually a legal limit that there. That is an acceptable limit of T H C.<\/p>\n<p>THC is Tetra hydro cannabidiol. And that is the actual psychoactive part of cannabis, which is what gives it its high. It\u2019s also incredibly toxic to tout dogs.<\/p>\n<p>And obviously we don\u2019t want to be giving that to our pets. Do we?<\/p>\n<p>I would always encourage you to make sure that whichever brand you\u2019re looking into that you thoroughly researched them first because there is a huge problem in this sector of pet care because essentially. It\u2019s not regulated properly. And you only have a company\u2019s word too validate the product, or see whether it\u2019s something that will work for you and your dog.<\/p>\n<p>Now. The best way that I\u2019ve found to do this is, by looking at the lab reports from certain companies. For example, I looked at the lab reports for the company that I chose. And approached to work with for this, investigation, which was, Austin and Kat who were very, very, good. There we go.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-black-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fec633\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>When looking at CBD brands for your dog:<br \/>always check external Lab Reports!<\/p>\n<p><cite>Ali Smith, Rebarkable<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>They essentially gave me a lot of guidance and a lot of, how to use it, what it is, what it does, why it does. And. That\u2019s kind of what I want to share with you. That\u2019s your, what.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Forms Of CBD<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So CBD comes in a few forms. It comes in the oil that I just discussed We\u2019ve got. And then we\u2019ve got a few treats, treats a much harder to regulate because the recipe in itself and the mixing process essentially means that it\u2019s going to be very hard to get a pure distribution throughout that recipe.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, some recipes are better than others, and you may need to experiment to find the right one for you and your dog. For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.honestpaws.com\/collections\/cbd-dog-treats\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CBD treats from Honest Paws<\/a>\u00a0contain 40mg of Organic Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil (5 mg of that is CBD) in every 9g treat. On average, you should give 5mg of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight (but build up to this please! Try the instructions below if you\u2019re trying CBD for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I\u2019ve been using the oil as preference. Because again, as I said, I have three large dogs. So mine is actually even the extra strength version because. Yeah, three large dogs. Even when you get the low concentrations means that you\u2019re using quite a large volume of the oil, which then gets quite expensive. So <a href=\"https:\/\/koicbd.com\/pets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buying CBD oil for your pets<\/a> or obtaining it in the extra strength means that you get that you don\u2019t have to use as much. So it\u2019s that one\u2019s just for money saving purposes would be my tip there.<\/p>\n<p>It has zero change because I have actually tried the lower concentrations on, on my dogs. And it doesn\u2019t vary between the extra strength and the regular strength. So long as you follow the appropriate dosages on the packaging and on the bottle. Speaking of proper dosages and things.<\/p>\n<p>When we\u2019re looking at how to use these things and how to bring CBD into our dogs lives. I will always suggest that you do it slowly. I would pick very, very calm days. To start because you want to get a baseline. Not all dogs are going to react to this the same. It\u2019s really important that you do your own tests essentially, because, because it\u2019s not regulated because you don\u2019t know how it\u2019s going to go.<\/p>\n<p>Or even how your dog is going to handle it. For example, Indie doesn\u2019t do that well on a full dose of CBD. It\u2019s not the effects, any of his internal systems, but it absolutely affects his behavior. In a negative way.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Problems CBD is meant to help with<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Separation anxiety,<\/li>\n<li>Anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Calming effects<\/li>\n<li>Reactive dogs<\/li>\n<li>Car ride<\/li>\n<li>Joint pain*<\/li>\n<li>Fear of loud noises,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the past decade it\u2019s become the best things since sliced bread \u2026 and other pet parents pretty much refer to it as snake oil! But that all depends on how you include this in resolving your behavior problems and as a <em>part <\/em>of your training process.<\/p>\n<p>*This can also mask normal inflammatory response that may need veterinary input and might be something you want to avoid without talking to a vet.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you have issues with car rides, try this.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of CBD Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"cg-pc-box-one\">\n<div class=\"cg-pc-row\">\n<div class=\"cg-item-pros  cg-green \">\n<div class=\"cg-pros-name\">Pros<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Calming effects<\/li>\n<li>Anti-inflammatory effects<\/li>\n<li>Increases tolerance<\/li>\n<li>Pain relief<\/li>\n<li>Relaxation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cg-item-cons  cg-red \">\n<div class=\"cg-cons-name\">Cons<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Can mask issues<\/li>\n<li>Too much increases anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Industry isn&#8217;t regulated<\/li>\n<li>Affects dogs differently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CBD dog treats or oil?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Personally, I\u2019m a fan of the oil because then I can use it flexibly.<\/p>\n<p>The main difference here is whether the CBD is evenly distributed through the treat batch\u2026 otherwise controlling dosage becomes way harder.

Look at the maximum dosage that you\u2019re meant to give your dog, whatever the guideline says on the box, on the packaging or similar. And start off at a fraction of that.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if it says that you\u2019re meant to use up to a single millilitre, within a day, then maybe give them an eighth of a milliliter and see how they do see how that changes their behavior. See if it changes their behavior at all, because it might not, but we want to make sure that their insides are okay with it, that their behavior doesn\u2019t change. Adversely. And we want to see that it has the desired effect. Ideally.<\/p>\n<p>Compare to your dogs \u2018normal\u2019 behavior and see if there is any difference.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2 \u2013 Find the Sweetspot with Dosage.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The maximum dosage suggested on the product might not always be the right measurement, and I\u2019ve found that usually, going all the way to the top end, actually has a negative effect on calm behavior\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Pick a similarly good time to test where your dog isn\u2019t encountering stress, and increase the dosage in small increments.<\/p>\n<p>Your sweetspot is where your dog can still listen, respond and react appropriately, but they should have an increased tolerance and patience.<\/p>\n<p>For us, it was a case that I found that his sweet spot was about half of the recommended dosage. Which worked really well for him whenever I needed to do it, but I will get into the situations where I\u2019ve used it a little bit later. Whereas with the hounds, they thrived about three quarters of the dose that they were meant to have. So just because that says a recommended dosage does not make that dosage, that your dog should receive. <\/p>\n<p>Please do test it. Please do look at it and please do monitor your dog\u2019s behavior from a baseline and to decide whether this is the most productive way of using the product.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 \u2013 Add in \u2018issues\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>And once you\u2019ve run those tests, you can then either use it sort of intermittently for a spontaneous event. So, if something happens that\u2019s beyond your control and your training, isn\u2019t quite where you need it to be. This is a great time to take advantage of the CBD because essentially it creates.<\/p>\n<p>To me, it, it can bridge training. And it can mean that you don\u2019t lose training and it can mean that you can keep progressing as opposed to not,<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 \u2013 Use It In Practice.<\/h3>\n<p>This is when I would then start using it as a part of your training, and this way you <em>know <\/em>for sure that you\u2019re getting the best effect out of the CBD and using it correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you can, of course use it in a more continued fashion that more continued fashion can be, for pain management. It can be for pain relief. It can be for genuine behavioral problems. <\/p>\n<p>However, if you are looking at longer term usage of CBD. I would always consult your vet. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Caveat\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I should also say I am not a vet. I am a trainer. This is my personal insight into this. It\u2019s not necessarily a medical guide. If you do want more information, please do talk to your vet. Please do talk to them. As long as you\u2019ve got a fantastic responsible vet who is doing their research, you will get a great reliable opinion.<\/p>\n<p>It should also be obvious, but\u2026. whether you have an old dog, or a young dog, CBD should never replace prescription medication without consulting your vet.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Indie wearing the OneTigris xdestroyer harness\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/flipsideviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IndieOneTigrisHeader-1024x585-1.webp\"><\/figure>\n<p>Training, regardless of where and when, is imperative. CBD will not fix the <em>majority <\/em>of problems. From loose lead to puppy biting, you cannot make up for training with medication and I would never expect to see CBD used with puppy training.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Not To Use CBD.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few things to be aware of when we do look at CBD, there is, there are a few instances where CBD is not an appropriate choice for your dog. And largely that is if they\u2019ve already got internal problems. So if they\u2019ve got organ issues if their kidneys aren\u2019t functioning, right. If their liver is not quite operating how it should. These are the times that you should just be not considering CBD in the slightest.<\/p>\n<p>If they\u2019re taking any preexisting medication again, probably not for you.<\/p>\n<p>Or if they\u2019re struggling with things like dehydration.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I don\u2019t want to see you using CBD with puppies for \u2018normal puppy behavior\u2019, it\u2019s not okay, it\u2019s not a way to stave off destructive behaviors, or to nerf your elements of your dog breed and their needs. Meet their needs first!!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also good to note that CBD can actually increase anxiety. It can cause diarrhea. It can mosque pain very much in a similar way to. If you\u2019ve ever tweaked your back or something like that, you take some painkillers and go, oh, I\u2019m okay. Now. And then you do something and you make it worse. Pain is there for a reason, and it often stops us from hurting ourselves more or doing more damage to something that\u2019s already damaged.<\/p>\n<p>So. If that is the case with your dog then it could mask more pain and create more problems. So that\u2019s a very good thing to be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously do not exceed the recommended dosages, do not go overboard on that start low workup and. Focus on your dog\u2019s wellbeing, not on anything else. And speaking of that, CBD is absolutely not. And I really do mean this.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CBD Cannot Replace Training.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>CBD is not a replacement for training (positive reinforcement training at that, please). Under no circumstances. Should you be medicating a dog before trying to adjust their behavior with training. Okay. Especially not self-medicating your dog.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not an acceptable way to deal with the problem, because it\u2019s not going to deal with the problem. It\u2019s just going to cover it up for a little while. Yeah, please. Don\u2019t do it. Not worth it. I promise you if you need help with anything like that. Give me a shout and we\u2019ll book in a bark day or similar, and we will get you and your dog through whatever it is that they need to get through.<\/p>\n<p>Potentially with the aid of CBD, but probably not. So. Yeah, it\u2019s a very, like most tools in the industry. If you use it right. It works really well. But if you try and use a collar to. pull sled, it\u2019s going to cause problems for you and your dog.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s have a quick chat about how I\u2019ve used it, what experiences I\u2019ve had with it. And I\u2019m, I\u2019m talking the good and the bad here.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Lucy the rebarkable coonhound standing on tree rounds\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/flipsideviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2778-1024x768-1.webp\"><\/figure>\n<p>Lucy\u2019s showing off her goat-like nature by standing on things that are taller than her \u2013 she\u2019s a show off, huh?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test: Lucy &#038; Her Baseline\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the one of the bad times. Cause I like to do the bad stuff first because I feel like it gives you guys a really good insight into. The process and that there are potentially drawbacks.<\/p>\n<p>So I was using CBD with Lucy. I\u2019m testing it out with her and seeing how it would go and finding that, that sweet spot that I talked about. And it turns out. I must\u2019ve given her the wrong dose at the wrong time.<\/p>\n<p>And this is why I say it\u2019s really important to do it when your dog is at a normal. So at a general I\u2019m happy peaceful, I\u2019m not stressed about anything state. Because I clearly caught Lucy when she was slightly more stressed. Than I thought she was. And as a result, it actually spiked her anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>It actually made her worse. And it\u2019s really good to know these things because. There was a very fine balance to be struck. Essentially you can learn from my errors and that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah. Take away from that one, make sure they\u2019re at a normal before you use this. So don\u2019t use it when your dog is already stressed and you\u2019re walking into the vet\u2019s office. That\u2019s not going to work, use it when they\u2019re at a calm point in the day and then build them up through the event, not in any other way.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test: Shelby &#038; Fireworks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, and a good example of that was how I used it with Shelby. For, July 4th.<\/p>\n<p>So. My being British and living in America caused this moment of pure ignorance. I can\u2019t say it in a better way. That when we came round to July 4th, my very first in the us last year. I had no idea that it was going to be as many fireworks as there was.<\/p>\n<p>I knew Shelby had a problem and I knew that she was scared of the loud noises. And I had been working with her through this.<\/p>\n<p>However, I thought there was going to be a couple. I had no idea that there was a local display. And. Yeah, consequently, my training wasn\u2019t quite where I would have hoped it would be come the night of July 4th. And. That was when I first started really, really testing with CBD, because I was like, I want something that\u2019s going to bridge this and push us through this, as opposed to me losing all this training that we\u2019ve done with Shelby.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Shelby using her kong - she loves these and they create a wonderful moment of relaxation for a high energy dog\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/flipsideviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-8-1024x576-2.webp\"><\/figure>\n<p>This was one of the ways we kept Shelby calm for her night of fireworks!

We got Shelby through it. Shelby. Shelby nailed it. Shelby is pretty much now through her fear of fireworks. We\u2019ve not really had any incidents since, because I didn\u2019t lose any progress through that night. And the way we did that was two, two or three days before the event we started Shelby on a very low dose. Okay. Because this, this thing kind of eliminates the, the element of trigger stacking or general increases in stress.<\/p>\n<p>We started a very low dose, two, three days before. And I would put it in with mealtime. So they\u2019d get a dose at, in the morning and a dose in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>And it would be a case that. It\u2019d be a very low dose to start. Slightly higher dose and slightly higher until I brought it up to the maximum. And I think she was on the maximum for about 24 hours prior to fireworks. But that was to cover anybody who was going to be letting all fireworks early and making sure that that didn\u2019t add into Shelby stress levels.<\/p>\n<p>So I used it there and, and bridged her through that gap or that potentially problematic area. And it worked a treat. And then I weaned her off it on the other side, and it was all very simple, very easy. And she had no issues. We had a very peaceful fireworks night. Which I wasn\u2019t expecting. So I was very pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"indie in

When I got him to a too high, a dose for him. So, as I said earlier, there is a bit of a sweet spot for your dog. And how much CBD that they will thrive on. So we had guests over and essentially I wanted to make sure that the dogs were just a smidge easier because the guest. One of the guests we had was older, was less able, and I didn\u2019t want my three large dogs who cumulatively weigh more than.<\/p>\n<p>More than most people, causing more damage, than they needed to given that we\u2019ve not seen a huge amount of guests since COVID happened. And actually since I\u2019ve been in the states, so, whilst they were on lead and whilst they\u2019ve been trained for these things, it was just a. A fail-safe and an opportunity for me to test. So we did. Naturally.<\/p>\n<p>And what that led to was me finding the Indie, couldn\u2019t. Indie was actually less able to focus on higher dosages of CBD, which meant that all my training with him, all my ability to direct him, change him. And. Rely on his cues. Kind of went out of the window. So. Yeah, there\u2019s a sweet spot. Find it for your dog. And I found that his. His anxiety decreased and his behaviour remained the same. At a lower level. Of CBD. So. Good to know, and it was something I found out for, for the usages.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test: Indie &#038; meeting new dogs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Indie was a reactive dog, so meeting new dogs is something that is still done with caution and must be done in a \u2018proper\u2019 way (see here for more info on that by the way!). So, I\u2019ve tested it with him by using him with a stooge dog and introducing Indie to a new furry friend and seeing how it compares. And what I seen was improved behaviour and a quicker settle time with the new dog.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test: Indie &#038; The Plane Ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, yeah, let\u2019s, let\u2019s talk about Indie again, actually, because the other time I used, CBD was with Indie when we did our flight to America. This was CBD that I bought in the UK. It\u2019s not the same as the Austin and kat stuff, but it was my first real look into CBD because I had, again, another situation that.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst I could do a certain amount. That final little piece was going to be missing. So for Indie and the plane ride, I made huge efforts. To desensitize plane noises inside the cabin and outside the cabin. To desensitize the airport itself to desensitize the volume of a plane in actuality. And to do every process that I possibly could.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that I couldn\u2019t do was mock up the situation within the cabin. Because that\u2019s a pretty unique situation. I mean, we did public transport. We made sure that we\u2019d done things in that area, but I feel like an actual plane cabin. Is quite unique and, Yeah, wasn\u2019t something I could really mock up that. Well, so the first flight that we took, I knew could be a problem and I didn\u2019t want it to become a problem because.<\/p>\n<p>The flight from the UK to the US is eight hours long. And if I had a very stressed German shepherd on a plane for that long. That\u2019s not very good for anybody. And whilst I was quite certain that it wasn\u2019t going to go that way.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"indie the german shepherd on the plane to america, long haul flights are tough on dogs\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/flipsideviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/indieairport7-1024x768-1.webp\"><\/h2>\n<p>Indie the german shepherd on the plane to America, long haul flights are tough on dogs \u2013 but sometimes it\u2019s worth it \u2013 If you want to read more about his journey here check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/rebarkable.com\/international-travel-with-dog\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">International Travel With Your Dog &#038; 8 Tips To Get It Right!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Indie\u2019s these great in human situations in anything human. He excels.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s always the time that it goes wrong and I\u2019d spoken to the vet and the vet had sort of said, there\u2019s no, we can\u2019t actually medicate him. So, you know, we, we can\u2019t give him Xanax or anything like that, because it will actually interfere with his ability to respond to turbulence. And that was something I\u2019d never considered. But, instead I went for something that would just try and bring him down. We tried valerian root and things like that previously and had, had very minimal success with it. I\u2019d not noticed any real difference in Indie and his behavior whilst using valerian root.<\/p>\n<p>So I tested out some CBD before we left, made sure he was fine on it and then used it for the plane. Again, it, where that one was because it was a shorter period that we to get through and I didn\u2019t think it was going to be as much of a problem as it, as the fireworks would be for Shelby. We did. I think it was about a quarter dose, for breakfast. And then half a dose before we got on the plane. And then we went onto the plane and he was absolutely fine throughout.<\/p>\n<p>And we didn\u2019t actually bother giving him a second dose on the plane, despite the eight hour trip.<\/p>\n<p>So. From my experience that worked really, really well. It was a case that.<\/p>\n<p>He became just that little pinch, more relaxed. And I know that he settled very, very quickly on the plane. Which was awesome. Whether we can totally attribute that, attribute that to CBD. I can\u2019t exactly say, but. I don\u2019t think it hindered any situation.<\/p>\n<p>So the point of all of these examples is that you can use it as a bridge. You can use it as a five or 10%. But you cannot use it as a replacement for training.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Shelby the redbone coonhound howling up a tree wearing her fi series 2 collar\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/flipsideviber.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_2118.webp\"><\/figure>\n<p>Natural urges? Also something that doesn\u2019t really get impacted by CBD.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Last Thing With CBD &#038; Dog Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s how I\u2019ve found that CBD works the very best and when coupled with training, it does make things easier. And if you do need any help with any of this, please just let me know. I\u2019m always happy to talk about these things. I\u2019m always happy to go through these things with you because.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not a whole lot of information out there and it gets very confused, very, very easily. Because it\u2019s quite complicated. And having had firsthand experience of it. And being a trainer with good insight into dogs, I would like to think. We\u2019ve definitely seen some great results.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s something I can help you with and whether we have a quick chat on Instagram or we book it a full bark day to look at your problems. We can do that. That\u2019s something we can do. And. I am totally confident that we can get you through whatever it is with your dog that you\u2019re struggling with.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I would advise if you\u2019re looking at this as a long-term solution that you do talk to a Vet however, if it is a bridging training activity, Or you would look at it in that context. That\u2019s certainly something that I can help you with.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In summary\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>CBD isn\u2019t without potential side effects, but it can also help if you introduce it correctly and use it for the right situations (like stressful situations!). Always discuss with your veterinary team about it\u2019s short term use or if you\u2019re thinking about introducing it for everyday life, or with your trainer or behaviorist as part of a behavior modification plan.<\/p>\n<table class=\"rw-rating-table rw-ltr rw-left rw-no-labels\">\n<tr>\n<td><nobr>\u00a0<\/nobr><\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"rw-left\">\n<div class=\"rw-ui-container rw-class-blog-post rw-urid-2358690\" data-img=\"https:\/\/rebarkable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Blog-Banner-for-Website-Content-2.png\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBD is one of the fastest growing parts of the canine industry.
