Pheromone products are positioned to reduce tension signals in the environment, often for moves, cat introductions or travel. Their effect depends on diffusion coverage and continued use.

Behaviour training targets observable patterns through desensitisation, counter-conditioning and resource layout changes. It takes longer but addresses the root of the pattern.

The relationship is auxiliary versus main line: pheromones can lower tension early in training, but they do not fix resource conflict or a lack of climbing space.

For persistent aggression, over-grooming or elimination problems, rule out medical causes first and let a veterinarian or behaviour professional set the plan.
