Meet Walter. Walter came to his first Sniffari nervous, guarded, and not happy that I was waiting for him. When he got out of the car he let me know he was not thrilled with my presence, A little bark, a tucked tail, he was very unsure of what he was getting in to.
I gave Walter as much space as he needed as his momma walked him in to his adventure. Throughout the first session, he kept an eye on me, making sure I wasn't too close, if I was speaking too loud or he thought I was too close, he gave me a little grumble and the tail stayed tucked.
The second session went better! And mom was surprised to tell me that he had a REALLY good week! She couldn't believe it! His reactions weren't as intense, he recovered more quickly, she was thrilled.
With each week, he continued to gain confidence and LOVED coming to see me now, dragging momma in the door and to see what was waiting for him. His behavior improved so much that they signed up for a 2nd session!
I continue to get feedback that he isn't as bothered by other people and dogs they way he was before they came and he recovers more quickly than before.
THIS is what a Sniffari/Canine Curiosity Experience can do for your dog:
💡It's a great confidence builder! They can focus in and on their environment in a safe way at their own pace, navigating around and through various objects.
💡It supports a natural behavior! Their nose is their biggest asset! They get to investigate the environment, gathering information all while satisfying their curiosity.
💡It's a highly stimulating activity that engages their brain, engaging their senses.
💡Sniffing can reduce stress and be calming. Dopamine that is releases during this time can be mood boosting.
💡The activity allows them to move freely and chose what they want to engage with.
A Sniffari also adds variety to a dogs routine. And our Sniffari, is quite the experience! Each month we offer a new theme (the guardians are just as excited as the dogs to see what
