What is a sniff-ari? We caught up with Dog's Trust to learn all about it
In a nutshell, a sniff-ari is a walk where your dog is permitted – and encouraged – to explore his environment with his nose. It’s an on-lead exploration
You let your dog set the pace and the direction. We encourage you to allow them to explore their environment and what interests them. We’ve then dropped our Easter Eggs along the way to keep the humans entertained!
Benefits of a sniff-ari
- Helps a dog decompress
- Helps them make their own decisions
- Helps relieve boredom
- Builds confidence
- Uses their natural abilities to make sense of their world through scent
- Leads to a more optimistic and content dog
- Helps them be calmer and tires them out
- And last, but certainly not least, dogs love the walk!
Pup-fection!
