That tree your dog won’t walk past? It might be the most interesting part of their day! 🐶🐾
Sniffing is how dogs explore and gather information about the world around them. Giving them time to follow their nose can make an everyday walk more rewarding.
It’s called a sniffari—and you don’t need to go anywhere special to try it!
Here are our Top Tips:
🐾 Slow things down – leave a little extra time for sniffing stops, without worrying about how far you walk.
🐾 Let their nose lead – where it’s safe, let your dog choose which direction to explore or which tree deserves another sniff.
🐾 Choose a comfortable spot – a quiet park or familiar street can offer plenty to investigate without feeling overwhelming.
🐾 Keep watch as they explore – give them room on a loose lead while steering clear of rubbish, discarded food and other hazards.
🐾 Make it part of your routine – you don’t need a dedicated outing. Add a few unhurried sniffing stops to your usual daily walk.
Sometimes, making a walk more enjoyable is as simple as giving your dog a little longer to discover what’s around them. 🤍
Save this post for your next walk and share it with a fellow dog owner whose dog loves to stop at every tree! 🥰
