Summer is the ideal time to embrace your dog’s natural sniffing instincts. With longer days and warmer weather, it's perfect for engaging in scent-based activities that provide mental stimulation and satisfaction.
Why Sniffing Matters
Dogs experience the world primarily through their sense of smell. Allowing them to sniff during walks or playtime isn't just enjoyable for them—it’s essential for their mental well-being.
Summer Sniffari Ideas
Scent Trails: Create trails using treats or toys in your garden or local park.
Scent Gardens: Plant dog-safe herbs like lavender or rosemary for your dog to explore.
Frozen Treat Hunts: Hide frozen treats around the garden for a cool and engaging activity.
Remember, always supervise your dog during these activities and ensure the environment is safe.
