🐕‍🦺🐾 ✨Today we are working on Sniff Walks and Pattern Games. 🐶🎮 Sniff walks are a fabulous enrichment activity for dogs of any age and at any stage of life. In addition to sniffing literally making dogs feel good, science has shown that sniff walks can reduce anxiety and improve their cognitive health. Also, since dogs have an average of 300 all factory receptors, 20 minutes of focused, sniffing and mentally fatigue a dog as much as a 1-hour high energy, walk or run. If you are a geek like me and want to know more about that, there are links at the end of this post. Pattern games are simple to teach and to remember. They act like a conversation between you and your dog, they tell your dog that y’all are in this together and that you were gonna work through it together. #adoptdontshop #patterngames #greatergoodcharities #sniffari #fearfreetraining https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-to-the-rescue/id1560707692?i=1000763147040&r=130 This material may be protected by copyright. https://www.podtotherescue.com/loose-leash-walking.html https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-to-the-rescue/id1560707692?i=1000763147040 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzah4eBqpvRn8WnG_eM-wsLYuaseEBNR1&si=5TVu8O0bW5JebCbG
