Week 3 for our teen and adult dogs 🐕 This week, the focus was on loose leash skills. However, after lots of hard work and with the weather getting rather hot, these guys had a well-earned break, giving them the opportunity to practice neutral & calm behaviors in close proximity 🐾

Scentwork has many benefits. It can provide an outlet for natural behaviors, provides stimulation and enrichment, aids and promotes calmness, lowers arousal and best of all, ANY dog can learn.
If you are interested in teaching your own dog scentwork, our next beginners course starts on the 23rd of September at 6 pm.

Week 2 for our pups and teens 🐶 Our puppies focused on being handled, having health checks, and learning skills to prepare them for vet/groomer visits.
Our teen group practiced basic cues, settling around distractions and being neutral 🐾

This pug just loves a puddle 😅 #happydogslife #enrichmentfordogs #puglife #pugpuppy
Wild enrichment is simply the best! It encourages and aids natural and instinctual behaviours such as sniffing, foraging, and problem-solving. Allowing dogs to explore stimulates their senses, as well as meeting their physical needs to keep them happy and healthy.
As much as I love a Kong, licky matt, or puzzle toy, these items are designed to keep dogs busy and are merely occupiers. Yes, they can help relieve anxiety and boredom, but they do not fully replicate the mental and psychical enrichment our dogs need🐾

Great session today with Buzz, who was learning some scentwork skills. To match his energy and enthusiasm he practiced some active searches, which he picked up really quickly!!🐾
