On our #100DaysOfEnrichment program Sniffaris are olfactory, and often, multi-sensory, adventures. And although they are often contrived, they can be an excellet way to broaden your dog’s olfactory world, without using food.
I have found them to be so beneficial for so many dogs, in different ways, that they feature on 100Days twice!
These sniffaris are a great way of bringing the smellside inside and expanding a dog’s world, without having to expose them to further stressors.
Quite simply, I did some beach combing and was able to bring those experiences in to make some sniffari boxes. Once thoroughly investigated, the addition of water creates a rock pool expanding the sensory experience even more.
Collecting smelly things and bringing them back to your dog, once safe, can be an awesome way of helping dogs who are restricted for whatever reason still experience the world through their nose and provide calm exploration.
