Enrichment through Scentwork for Highly Aroused Dogs

Are you walking your dog for miles in the hope you can use up his energy but he’s just getting busier? Perhaps you throw a ball for hours at a time, but your dog just wants more and more? Maybe your dog is so full of energy, lacks focus and is hard to handle? There is an answer and it might not be the one you expect. Life enrichment through less physical exercise and more mental stimulation can turn your dog’s behaviour around. Sniffing, scentwork and brain games will settle your dog and meet his psychological needs. It’s great fun too.
