What makes Scent Work such a Remarkable Activity?
Relaxes
Science has confirmed that sniffing is soothing for dogs. Blood flow to certain areas of the brain increases when your dog is sniffing really hard, and this can help calm your dog down.
intercommunication
Many dogs never get much of a chance to “figure it out.” Scent work allows and encourages your dog to use his nose to solve problems, and you show your dog that you trust him and his abilities as you have to rely on his nose to master the challenge together.
Boosts Confidence
Learning something new is incredibly powerful for boosting confidence. Many shy dogs learn to enjoy going to new spaces and become excited to explore them rather than being terrified.
Burns Energy
Focusing on a single task and solving problems is very rewarding, but also exhausting. Paired with the soothing effects of sniffing, Scent Work is the most powerful activity to tire out a hyperactive dog.
