Still have a cupboard full of that stuff. Well not full exactly, but definitely more than two pots.

It has its uses. I use it in dog training actually.

How do you use Vicks in dog training?

How do you use Vicks in dog training?

Yeah. How? Inquiring minds want to know.

Haha, I almost didn't ask because I thought I was stupid and the only one who didn't know!

I baited you, didn't I? Well, dogs have a highly developed sense of smell, we all know that. And sometimes they get into things they shouldn't. But spanking isn't the answer, and nor is yelling. And you can't always keep everything up out of reach. So, repellants can work well. Does your puppy chew your slippers or your tennis shoes? How about furniture legs, oh no! Or just about anything else you don't want him to chew. Put a little dab of Vicks on it and watch him decide that, gag, THAT's no longer a yummy chew toy! The best use I ever found for it was a disabled lady's oxygen line! A little dab every foot or so cured him forever.

So no, this doesn't help with basic obedience, but it can help with a common behavior problem.
