Bring YOUR dog on a “Snifari” soon at 🌲Forest Dog Private Playground at Winterpast Farm in Wake Forest NC. This is sweet MAGGIE. Her owner is already making plans to come weekly to use our agility equipment and do her recall training here with fewer normal distractions.
🐶Sniffing helps dogs interpret the world. It can also activate and exercise the brain, similar to studying.
🐶They will greatly enjoy picking up information left by other dogs including Farmer Mary’s 5 dogs. (checking their wee-mails!).
🐶Great place for training without the usual distractions.
🐶Sniffing can be very calming for dogs. A meandering, sniff session releases mood-boosting chemicals in their brain. Like a yoga or meditation session for your pup.🧘🏽♂️
🐶Unleashed time and slower walks, where a dog can “stop and smell the flowers” can be more pleasurable for your dog. Generally humans are more about the destination, dogs more about the journey. Let your dog to take the lead and explore at their own pace.
🐶You might find it frustrating when your dog wants to stop and sniff while going for walks. Dogs rushed along on walks without the opportunity to stop and sniff would be like you going to an art museum blindfolded with a friend who tugs you along.
🐶Did you know dogs have a highly developed sense of smell, with up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their nose, compared to only 6 million in humans?
