How Does Reconcile Work?
Reconcile is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters communicate information between nerve cells. Neurotransmitters are released into the space between two cells and are then reabsorbed back into the nerve cell that released them. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for many functions within the brain, including the control of anxiety. Low levels of serotonin may result in impaired communication between nerves, producing an increased level of anxiety. Reconcile can help correct this chemical imbalance by blocking the reuptake of serotonin and temporarily increasing its level in the brain.
Reconcile works by making your dog more receptive to your training program. A study of 229 dogs receiving behavior modification training showed that a significantly higher number of dogs treated with Reconcile had measurable improvement compared with those receiving a placebo (see study results below).
