You're NOT Using Your Dog's Nose Enough
Sorry to come at you like that, but I'm nearly certain you aren't using your dog's nose to its full advantage. It is likely your dog's strongest scent, yet as humans, we rarely use it to its full advantage and even sometimes discourage sniffing... Our dogs understand the world around them through their nose. They can't speak to us and they sure can't read, so instead, they use their noses. A dog's nose is said to be over 1,000 times stronger than the human nose. That's why there are drug-sniffing dogs and not drug-sniffing humans. So instead of being bothered by your dog sniffing on a walk, here is what you can do. First, try going on sniff walks. Don't pick a destination, just let your dog lead the way with their nose. This freedom and exploration will work wonders for your dog's mind! Second, incorporate enrichment that uses their nose. That can be snuffle mats, foraging boxes, hide and seek, and so much more! The main thing to remember is your dog's sense of smell should be encouraged! Let them explore, let them find new smells, let them explore on walks, let them be a dog!! Please review and subscribe!!
