Activity 1: Neighborhood Sniffari
Let your dog lead the way on a walk designed for their nose, not your step count. A sniffari gives your dog the freedom to explore their environment through scent—offering mental stimulation, reducing stress, and helping them feel more confident. Just 20 minutes of sniffing can be as enriching as an hour of structured walking!
