Have you ever let your dog enjoy the amazing refillable Pupsicle by Woof? Finn goes crazy for his (their refillable pops are his favorite, but my homemade version still makes the cut). It’s a great activity on a rainy day (which it currently is for us 🌧️) or added enrichment to your busy dog’s routine.

And there has never been a better time to buy— it’s Woof’s flash sale until Friday 6/9!

Happy Easter! My nose work students and I had a lovely morning with an Easter egg hunt just for the dogs. Everyone had a blast and enjoyed getting to work their brains by sniffing on this beautiful day 🐕

Spring is here and in Colorado we can’t help but get excited about warmer weather (even if we already do get a crazy amount of sunny days)! ☀️

I am upping my enrichment game with Finn (and his best bud Wesson), by going on Sniffaris more often. These are walks where we just let our pups sniff and wander to their hearts content, no speed or specific destination in mind. We are lucky to live near an open space which makes this activity even more enriching! 🐕

A bonus for the humans is we get to watch for owls and bald eagles along the way which is just amazing 🦅

After a long Sniffari Finn loves to decompress even more with a Pupsicle from our friends

What are you going to try this spring to refresh your enrichment game? Feel free to comment below!

The Black Friday sale on our online Intro to K9 Nose Work course starts on Thanksgiving 🦃

Looking for something fun to do with your dog while the weather outside is frightful? Look no further than nose work. This doggy-focused activity unleashes your dog’s natural ability to sniff and harnesses that skill while using their brains. No special equipment needed!

Nose work is perfect for:
-Burning off excess energy
-Providing extra mental stimulation (esp. when exercise is more difficult)
-Building confidence (esp. in fearful and reactive dogs)
-Great for older or injured dogs

This course is geared towards those who are totally new to nose work, but also builds the foundation vital for future competition if that’s your jam too 😄

Our course is taught by Patrice (me!) a Certified Nose Work Instructor through NACSW. Not only do you get lessons and videos that take you step-by-step through how to teach your dog to find a food treat (hide) in any indoor environment, you also get access to a private community of people just like you to ask questions and share your successes with. Included with purchase is weekly live office hours where you can get direct instructor support. I join in the online community to help answer questions and provide support there too 😊

Give your dog the gift they always wanted this holiday season— permission to be a dog and use their nose. With our Black Friday sale, you’ll get $20 off this fabulous and fun course. Sale runs from 11/28-12/2 (regular pricing is in effect outside of those dates). I hope to see you and your dog in our lovely nose work community!

Learn more about nose work and our course at our website: https://www.ingoodpawsdt.com/online-course-intro-to-nose-work/
On Thanksgiving you can visit the same site and purchase the course during our Black Friday sale
