Sniff-ari at Home

Una the black Cockapoo and her family enjoy an autumn walk

Dogs are social, intelligent and active animals so it’s important to give them opportunities to exercise their bodies and minds.

Enrichment games, like sniff-ari, are a great way to do this – our coaches at Dog School recommend using these tactile creations to keep dogs content and occupied.

What you'll need for your at home sniff-ari

Interesting things for your dog to smell, like 

  • seaweed
  • herbs
  • rose petals
  • old shoes
  • or even some fur that other animals have shed

How to do it

Place the items in random spots around your home or garden and lead your dog over to them. Let them sniff at each item for as long as they please!

This is especially good for older or less active dogs who love to investigate every single smell.
