Does Anyone Know Where I Can Find This?
It's a chicken-smelling spray that trainers use in obedience rings. They would spray it on their legs so the dog would heel. One of my trainers told me about it but not what it's called or where I can find it. I couldn't find it at dog.com, cherrybrook.com, or petsmart.com. Does anyone know where I can find it?
OK, first off, my dog can heel perfectly. I want it to spray on my hands so she will respond better because she's only 2 years old.
And if you read, I never technically said I was participating in any obedience trail.
My trainer has been training a long time, and you have no right to judge her.
My pup is VERY well trained and I don't need any books to teach a perfect dog how to be any more perfect. She just responds better with treats.

So you want to cheat at obedience trials?
How about you train your dog instead?
I've been training and trialing Basset Hounds and other breeds for nearly 30 years, and I've never used any such thing to get a passing score. In fact, I've never even heard of such a spray.
A properly trained dog will heel without such gimmicks. And if your trainer is suggesting you use it, then as far as I'm concerned they're not a good trainer and you should find someone that will help you teach your dog to heel properly without needing to smell chicken.
EDIT:>>>OK, first off, my dog can heel perfectly. I want it to spray on my hands so she will respond better because she's only 2 years old. <<<
"ONLY" 2 years old? She should definitely know how to heel by now without you spraying crap on your hands. She should be well past the luring stage by now.
I can have a dog ring-ready for Novice in about 3 months.

This is absurb. If you want your dog to heel, you TEACH it. We do not do that by asking or suggesting the dog to follow/lick your legs. This sounds like a LOUSY "obedience" instructor or somebody pulling your leg. Sounds like they have NO IDEA how to teach heeling. Try the books "How to Train a Puppy You Can Live With" by Rutherford & Neil (Alpine) or "See Spot Sit" (101 training tips) by Carol Lea Benjamin.
Consider taking obedience at a dog obedience or training club, sounds like you've got a Petsmart newbie or a local huckster, trying to make a buck w/o giving you adequate instruction, in what you've paid for.
