Fulfilling Your Dog’s Natural Behaviors at Appropriate Times

In the latest episode of the staff podcast, Michelle and Bridget go into great detail about their new experiences in the scent work classes they both recently enrolled in. They have each loved the opportunity to be a student again and learn something new about dogs and the ways they are trained. Scent work also gives your dog an appropriate outlet to engage their nose and explore the environment around them. It’s okay to allow your dog to fulfill their natural behaviors, but, it should be reserved for appropriate times and places. The same way that off leash training allows us to give our dogs to fulfill their innate desire to run and exhaust themselves, doing something like a scent work class can be a great way that your dog can tap into their nose and enjoy using it freely. It is reserved for that time and space, but, it is still just as satiating as trying to smell every little thing on a walk.
