It seems like it should be fine in very small amounts, and make sure the dog can’t accidentally ingest any of it.

So a bouquet of lavender stems on the shelf shouldn’t be a problem, but lavender oil is so much more concentrated than a flower on a stem, so definitely don’t use directly on the dog and don’t use an oil diffuser in a small room with the dog present at all.

The article you linked is trying to promote its own brand of cleaners, so it may be a little confusing, but I think it boils down to “use sparingly and safely, and if in doubt don’t use it at all”
