Has anyone ever tried herbal remedies for dog aggression?

I have read about Bach Rescue Remedy and bergamot and they are supposed to help dog aggression.
My dog is in obedience classes but I thought maybe this could be a second way to help the process.
Anyone used these products or have any advice?
Answers:
I don't know that it would help. Dog aggression is instictive and you kind of have to "rewire" your dogs brain to deal with these issues. Maybe it would help 1% of the problem, but training would fix 100% of the problem.
no but u can probably get more info on it just google dog aggression herbal remedy that might help sorry i couldnt be more helpful
The product might be useful for reducing stress in specific situations but it is not a real solution for serious aggression. Training is a much more important part of the process.
Think about this a little bit! I know a lot of people have theories about this, but really; do you feel less aggressive on days when you don't eat meat? What kind of herb besides marijuana makes you FEEL ANY DIFFERENT? I guess if you take dogs meat away he might be too weak to be aggressive; but check the tables of content on dry dog foods, some already have no meat.
It doesn't hurt but it does depend on how aggressive the dog is. It is a very mild just to try to take the edge off. No harm in trying its safe for dogs and children by the way to settle the hyper kids down.
find a holistic vet in your area, they can check your dog over make sure there are no medical reasons for the aggression and then make the best recommendation as to herbal or chemical meds. you also need to check into a trainer that specializes in aggressive dogs.
i heard the bach flowers are really good
