Science of smell
Did you know that dogs can smell 10,000 to 100,000 times better than humans? A dog's nose is one of their most powerful tools, designed for detecting scents and understanding the world around them. Their noses have up to 300 million olfactory receptors, compared to just 5 million in humans. This makes them excellent at tracking scents, detecting medical conditions, and even finding missing persons. Encourage your dog's natural abilities with scent-based games like hiding treats around the house!

November Walks
With the sun setting earlier in November, it can be challenging to keep dogs active. Here are a few tips to help make the most of those shorter days:
Early Morning or Evening Walks: Plan walks around natural light if possible, but if you’re out when it’s dark, consider using reflective collars, harnees, and leashes to keep both of you visible and safe.
Indoor Exercise: On rainy or dark days, try indoor activities like fetch in a hallway, playing with tug toys, or setting up a small obstacle course.
Mental Stimulation: Puzzle toys and treat-dispensing games are great for exercising your dog’s mind and can help burn energy, too!
Doggy Playdates: organize playdates at a friend’s house or indoors at a dog-friendly location. A little socializing goes a long way!
Even with limited daylight, there are plenty of ways to keep your pup happy, healthy, and entertained.
