Why Everyone needs to do Scent Work / Detection with their dog
1. **Mental Stimulation:** Engaging in scent work provides dogs with significant mental exercise, which can help reduce boredom and associated destructive behaviors.
2. **Natural Instincts:** Dogs have a highly developed sense of smell, and scent work allows them to use their natural instincts. This can be very fulfilling and satisfying for them.
3. **Physical Exercise:** Scent work often involves physical activity, which helps keep dogs physically fit and healthy.
4. **Confidence Building:** Successfully identifying scents can boost a dogโs confidence, particularly for shy or anxious dogs.
5. **Bonding:** Scent work can strengthen the bond between a dog and its handler through teamwork and mutual enjoyment of the activity.
6. **Behavioral Benefits:** Engaging a dogโs mind and body through scent work can reduce anxiety, stress, and hyperactivity, leading to better overall behavior.
7. **Variety and Enrichment:** Scent work introduces variety into a dogโs routine, which can be enriching and prevent monotony.
FIGHT FOR THE BEHAVIOR There is a million ways to Rome. when you look at creating stability in a behavior. โRoom serviceโ or pay in behavior is always the first go to howeverโฆ.. the dog never shows you they will fight to stay in that behavior. In this drill Iโm working on creating stability in the down if I pull the dogs leash and they โfightโ me to stay in that behavior Iโll release and reinforce that stability. ๐ฅ๐ชจ
Supper fun drill we incorporate into group class this weekend. Cooperative care is one of the most important activities you can be working on with your dog. โ๏ธ Cooperative care involves training your dog to not only tolerate handling and husbandry procedures, but also to be an active, willing participant in these experiences. This should be a massive pillar for every owner as health drives behavior so being able to understand your dogs health is a must. If your also looking to deepen your relationship with your dog Cooperative care is an incredibly way to do so.
