Enjoy watching a dog search for an odor in our Scent Games class! The captions explain what is going on in real time, but essentially we are introducing some higher finds, and working on not accidentally cueing our dogs to alert.

So what can you do if your dog struggles with this? Close the blinds or put some window cling on the lower parts of windows so they don't spend all day watching (or barking!) at whatever is outside. Encourage calmer bodies with things like snuffle mats and frozen kongs. Make sure your dog has a safe quiet place they can be, such as a crate or xpen. With consistency and integrating relax time into your schedule, you can help your dog learn that it is okay to chill.

They will also learn better, and be less reactive, if they are properly rested in both body and mind. 😊
