Some say The Nose Knows is a woman.

All I know is... He's extraordinary with dogs!

It is, unfortunately, fireworks season, and for a lot of pets, and their owners, this can be an incredibly stressful time!

Here are some tips on how to best help you cope. This is primarily aimed at dogs, but may be of use to other pets within the home, too.

Create a safe space or a den for them.

Is there an area that you can create a den (remember building a fort as a kid?!) for them? Something covered, easy access, insulated from outside noise if possible, and in the quietest part of the home. Put their bedding, blankets, toys, and familiar items in there for them.

Stay with your dog in the home, and comfort them as much as possible! Stay with them after dark, sit with, and comfort them as much as possible. Just being together will give them an immeasurable amount of comfort.

Do walk them in the day, earlier than normal, as well as feeding them earlier, too.

Practice things that they are good at, and that they enjoy. This could be some tricks that they know, cues to behaviour. Keep the criteria easy to achieve and the rate of rewards high so everyone feels like a superhero!

Scent work! Scent work is a naturally calming, rewarding behaviour, and dogs love sniffing! Hide their biscuits or tasty morsels around the house for them to find, follow, and congratulate them on every piece they find.

You can also hide treats in sheets, towels, egg boxes, toilet rolls, cardboard boxes. If they shred the latter, that's fine, and this can help calm them.

If you have a smart TV, computer monitor, and speakers? Put on some music! Classical, gentle reggae, story time for dogs, experiment and see what your dogs like.

I am a big fan of Monterey bay aquarium, and they pair lo-fi beats to their aquatic organisms. Its a favourite of mine, and it helps calm my beloved, Maja, somewhat. Dogs can see hues of blue, too.

DO check, and ensure that your property is secure, and escape proof. Check garden, fences, boundaries. Ensure there aren’t any ways to escape, and block them up if possible. Make sure entrances/exits are locked, and secure.

Take your dog out to do their business early!

Stay as calm as possible, and try not to react to the fireworks yourself. Dogs are incredibly perceptive and can sense if you're behaving unusually.

Give your dog a deeply satisfying chew, beforehand! Chewing is a natural, relaxing behaviour with a whole host of benefits.

Make sure that your dogs are microchipped and that their microchip details are up to date. For residents within, and local to Eynsham, I am happy to provide “The Nose Knows” identification tags, and to be an emergency point of contact!
Practice this routine so dogs see it as something normal, as opposed to unusual behaviour, and something to be alert about.

Speak to your vet about medication, and how this may help your dog.

Give your dog even more love than normal, and try to comfort them as much as possible.

In the event of an emergency, please call me. We will take your pet to an our of hours veterinary practice!

I am available via video call or in person to explain things in more detail, give ideas, suggestions, demonstrate, and practice with you.

We will get through this.

All the love in the world.

Maja, and I.

The happiness you feel when you have great dogs, and amazing Scentastic Adventures™ all weekend!

We've been having an incredible time exploring, off lead time in the private fields, and generally enjoying life together.

I cannot describe the happiness I feel having dogs in my company. A video speaks louder than words?

When you leave your dogs in my care, my objective is to always encourage natural behaviours as much as possible. To see, smell, sense, taste, explore, feel, varied, and rich environments. To boldly take your dog to places they have never been before!

These are the Scentastic Adventures and tales (tails?!) of The Nose Knows.

Points to anyone who got the Star Trek reference!

Whatever your needs, I can help.

I teach with compassion, understanding, and care. To work at your dogs pace, and always use rewards be it food, love, play.

Dogs are extraordinary, and I always celebrate them for being so.

Like Homer, The Iliad and The Odyssey, I will tell you tales of your dog's Scentastic Adventures.™

I strive to be as creative as possible in all that I do with your dog, and where I take them. Ensuring that they are happy, content, and safe at all times in my care. Everything is tailored to your dog's needs, and I do so with all the care, love, adoration, and devotion that I can muster.

It is my fervent wish to develop a deep bond with your dog, and that we have a long-lasting relationship together. One built on communication, trust, joy, and deep love of one another. That whatever we do, we do it together, and that I will always be by their side. Their advocate, guardian, confidant.

I devote myself utterly to dogs, to understand, and communicate with them in their rich, vibrant language.

Nothing brings me greater pleasure than the company spent with dogs. To all my clients of the past, and present, I am grateful.

Will you be our future?

It's really important to not only reward the dogs in my care with the very best treats, but the owners too.

This time, it's cardamom, pistachio, and orange cake.

Thank you for entrusting your dogs to my care. I enjoy every minute ❤️

I've been spending a lot of time, slowly, and very carefully getting to know this Big Noodle.

Despite his size, he gets worried easily, and needs careful introductions to dogs, and new experiences.

Needless to say, we've been making incredible progress, and every session has left us all feeling like superheroes.

Looking forward to taking him on some Scentastic Adventures with us, soon, to further build his confidence.

I have the knowledge, patience, and understanding to help your dog, whatever their needs!

It goes without saying that I will always advocate for their welfare, and used rewards based training methods with them.

All the love in the world, Maja and I.

We can change the world through kindness, and it starts with us.

All the love in the world, Maja and I.

Not a dog I know but who can resist this handsome face!

Let me take your dog on an adventure of dreams, where all their wishes are fulfilled. They will have every kind of pleasure.

I strive to create new adventures for us to go on, to boldly explore new places. Where we can use our every sense, and faculty. Unencumbered and unhindered.

I am your dogs' teacher, shepherd. Most of all, a weaver of dreams.

Click here for some good vibes. Happy Friday, and have a great weekend!

You may see the ball. You may admire the ball. You *cannot* have the ball! This is a fantastic display of "parading" behaviour where the dog wants to show off what they have. If your dog has something (and it's safe for them to have), celebrate with them! Admire, congratulate, and parade with them. Be together, present, and enjoy the moment with one another.
