From July 4th to July 30th, I'm hitting pause.

We’ll be spending this time learning, resting, taking care of our health (both doggie and human), and soaking up a bit of summer joy.

We’re recharging our batteries, gathering energy – and we’ll be back, ready to work and wag, in August.

Thank you for your patience and support! 💛

Stay cool and sniff you soon,
Dorota, Haker, Ergo (Snifflandia Team)

🐾 Mantrailing Training – Sunday from 10:00! 🐾

Curious about mantrailing? It’s a scent-based search activity where your dog tracks the unique smell of a specific person – using their incredible nose and instincts.
Fun, mentally engaging, and a great way to deepen your bond!

🔍 How it works:
– One dog works at a time
– While your dog rests (in the car or with someone else), you take turns hiding for each other
– Trails are adjusted to your dog's level – short or longer

🎒 What to bring:
– Top-notch rewards: soft treats, lickable snacks, favorite toys
– Scent article: worn sock/t-shirt in a sealed bag
– Harness and long line (available to borrow)
– Water for your dog
– For yourself: comfortable shoes and a drink

💰 Price:
– 300 SEK per dog & handler pair
– 500 SEK for two dogs from the same person
(But we recommend having a second person to help if working with two dogs)

📩 Want to join?
Let me know! I'll divide participants into pairs and assign time slots to avoid waiting.
You’re welcome to arrive early to observe too.
Not bringing a dog? Join us as a volunteer runner (the person to be found)!
Not sure if this is right for you? Message me!

🌲🐾 Sunday Dog Walk – Let’s Connect with Our Dogs! 🐕‍🦺💬

Join me this Sunday, April 27th at 10:30 AM for a relaxed, social group walk with dogs!
This is not just a walk — it's a space to observe, learn, and support our dogs' communication and choices 🐶🧠

✨ We’ll explore: – Reading dog body language
– Practicing calm walking in a group
– When to give space and when to engage
– Building trust and connection on the move

Dogs on leash or long lines (where safe), and people who love learning welcome ❤️
No pressure, just good company – for both dogs and humans!

📍Location: [later, I'm thinking around Dalby, Malmo, Svedala, Lund, Landskrona]
💰 Price: 300 SEK for Snifflandia clients / 350 SEK for new participants
📩 DM to sign up or ask questions!

Let’s enjoy nature, movement, and mindful dog handling together 🌿🐾
— Dorota, Snifflandia

I've received messages from several people saying that this coming Saturday doesn't work well for them.

We'll start a week later instead, which will give everyone who's been considering joining more time to plan.

This way, hopefully more of you will be able to attend! Looking forward to seeing you all there :)

This is my book (in Polish) about separation anxiety in dogs. The medical chapter was reviewed by my favorite veterinarian Hortensja from Centrum Weterynaryjne im. Św. Franciszka

And today, until midnight, Polish-speaking dog owners can buy the book at a discount!

Metody na zbudowanie pewności siebie u psa.

Jak nauczyć psa aby bał się mniej i aby umiał zająć się sam sobą podczas nieobecności opiekuna?

Jak powinna wyglądać współpraca na linii opiekun – weterynarz – behawiorysta, aby jak najskuteczniej pracować nad problemem lęku separacyjnego?

Holistyczne podejście, które buduje pewność siebie psa, poprawia samodzielność, wzmacnia zdrowe przywiązanie. Przydatne techniki, metody i ćwiczenia.

Hello everyone! I know you're eagerly waiting for the March details, especially after yesterday's sneak peek!

Spring is already blooming in my mind, and I'm so excited to invite you to our afternoon training sessions. I'll be sharing all the specifics very soon, but today my thoughts have been with my dad, who underwent a serious operation.

I'm taking a mental break by watching the Iditarod 2025. For those who don't know, the Iditarod is an incredible long-distance sled dog race across Alaska. The route runs from Anchorage to Nome, and it commemorates the 1925 serum run, when sled dogs delivered life-saving medicine to Nome during a diphtheria outbreak. It's a true test of endurance and teamwork between mushers and their amazing dogs. If you're as fascinated by sled dog as I am, join me in cheering on the mushers here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1bqwkCScVF

II'll be back tomorrow with the details! Take care!

Home of the official Iditarod. A sled dog race covering 1000 miles, from Anchorage to Nome, of the roughest, most beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. This race was started to save the sled dog and protect their legacy and future.

This coming weekend, we have two events planned:

On Saturday, February 22nd, we'll meet for tracking (mantrailing and viltspår) in Sandskogen, Löddeköpinge at 10:00 AM.

On Sunday, we'll have a walk in Limhamn at 11:30 AM. It's been a while since we've been there, so it should be a fun outing!

Hope to see you there!

I will not be able to hold classes for the next two weekends due to personal reasons.
We meet on the March Sniffari, and also in March, a weekday afternoon group will start!
