Why Nosing Around UK?

‘Let them sniff......Their word is made of scents more than sights’ Alexandra Horowitz, PhD.

Dogs have incredible noses, in fact their noses tell them more about the environment than their eyes. Every leaf, twig, tree, lamp post they sniff tells them something about the animal that has passed the same spot. I vary the areas where I walk my greyhounds so that they discover new scents, or catch up with familiar scents. Gem, the youngest greyhound, loves to follow scents, so I sometimes find myself being dragged into bushes, or having to jump across ditches.

Nosing Around UK provides a safe space for dogs no longer enjoying their walks either because of pain or fear, as using their noses can reduce stress levels and provide the brain with some exercise. Research has shown that dogs, allowed to follow their noses, are happier, with improved mental health.
