Why is sniffing important?
βΆοΈ Sniffing plays a crucial role in enhancing a dog's mental health in several ways.
βΆοΈ Sniffing allows dogs to engage their powerful sense of smell, which is their primary way of perceiving and understanding the world.
βΆοΈ It provides them with a rich sensory experience, stimulating their brains and keeping them mentally active.
βΆοΈ When dogs sniff, they are constantly processing a wide range of scents, each with its unique information.
βΆοΈ This mental exercise keeps their brains sharp and engaged, preventing boredom and potential behavioural issues.
βΆοΈ Sniffing allows dogs to explore their environment more deeply. They can uncover hidden scents, track trails, and discover new and exciting things in their surroundings. This exploration satisfies their natural curiosity and provides mental enrichment.
But most importantly:
βΆοΈ Sniffing has a calming effect on dogs. It helps them relax and reduces anxiety.
