Ear candles are new age quackery that do nothing beyond the placebo effect, and possibly some minor benefit purely from mechanical effects (putting anything in your ears is going to scrape away some ear wax, and it's vaguely possible that the warmth might help some too).
I personally can't imagine a dog letting you do this, and it frankly sounds like a fire hazard. But sure, if you're gullible enough to believe it's going to have any impact and your dog is willing to put up with it and you don't wind up setting fire to anything other than the candle, then go for it.

Can you use witch hazel or baby oil to cure ear mites in dogs?
It's best to get herbal liquids to clean your dogs ears. It can be bought from a health food store or your vet. I use Q-tips and put a little squirt down the ear of my dog, then gently (not too deep) use the Q-tip to keep my dog healthy so they don't get ear infections. I also clean my dogs ears out after they have been swimming. There can be all sorts of infections from trapped water, bacteria from the water and other pets around. Another thing I do is once a week I smell my dogs ears. If there is no odor then their ears are fine, but if there is a musty odor or an unpleasant odor you can be sure your dog has the start of an ear infection. Yes you can use baby oil. Place several drops in the ears, massage the ears and make the oil soak in. then let the dog or cat shake their head like crazy the ear mites should come "flying" out of the ears due to the force of the head shaking and the oil making them slide out. {For those of you who say that this is cruel: 1. My vet recommended this. 2. Putting chemicals in the animals ears is way worse, what if they are allergic?}
