Training Walks: Enrichment on the Go

Life is busy! Your dog deserves fun, enriching adventures, yet it's hard to find the time in the midst of busy lives. That's what I'm here for! Not your average walk, my training walks include basic training essentials, long line recall practice, loose lead walking and most importantly loads of sniffy time for your doggo to experience their world in their own time.

A dog's sense of smell is incredible — it's over 10,000 times more powerful than ours. They could find a drop of chlorine in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. So they need the freedom to be able to sniff and experience all the smells. I get that sometimes you just want to walk and get from point A to B — so on training walks I make sure to go at the dog's pace and actively look for enriching, sniffy moments. A sniffed-out pup is a happy pup!
