The Pausa with a capital P is a simple but highly effective "tool" in all learning processes. When we pause, we give the animal the chance to process and assimilate the recent experience in order to learn from it. Sometimes we will find that after the pause a task which previously seemed impossible will simply [...]
In this interesting post below you can learn how to make rose water either by distillation for a more concentated water or by infusion. As rose water is one of the products that we use often in zoopharmacognosy, it is well worth taking a look and trying this out. https://www.mnn.com/food/recipes/blogs/how-make-rose-water

Then I offered Rose Otto. Once again the response to Rose Otto was very strong, and today Arena exhibited a big Flehmen response. (Unfortunately [...]
11/05/2018 Today I offered Frankincense, Rose Otto, Sandalwood and Violet Leaf to Severino. He sniffed the frankincense but soon lost interest, so perhaps his need for that oil has now been satisfied. Sandalwood received only a perfunctory response which makes sense as he is not particularly noise sensitive. On the other hand Rose and Violet [...]
