Sniffing is every dog's favourite activity. Here's how to design this fun activity for your pooch that will also keep them stimulated.
Sniffing has a calming effect on your dog and the more they sniff they become more aware of the world around them and feel connected to it. There is no better activity than to give them opportunity to engage in sniffing with different scents and keep them mentally stimulated. Many of us may struggle with keeping our canine friends engaged and often run out of fun activities. Dog trainer Pamela M Brown shares an easy and amazing activity for your pooch that will also make them relaxed and calm.
"Nose work is a type of dog sport or activity that involves dogs using their sense of smell to search and locate specific scents hidden in boxes, containers, vehicles, and outdoor environments. Nose work is not only a fun activity for dogs but also has numerous benefits," says Pamela.
"Dogs actively use their brain while sniffing and searching for scents, keeping their minds engaged and active. Plus, all that sniffing, running, and jumping provides a great physical workout for them. As they become more skilled in nose work, dogs also gain confidence in their abilities, which helps in other areas of their lives, along with stress reduction that comes from the calming act of sniffing and searching for scents," says Pamela.
