You’ve missed our Your Dog Nose Best webinar!

There’s a lot of people waking up dazed and stunned this morning, their minds blown by learning just how incredible their dog’s sniffing abilities are.

I had great fun on the webinar last night helping people understand how amazing a dog’s nose is. 

Did you know:

  • Your dog’s brain is mainly dedicated to smell
  • Your dog can wiggle their nostrils separately
  • Your dog’s sense of smell is between 10,000 and 100,000x more sensitive than yours
  • Your dog is simultaneously breathing in and out at the same time
  • AND they’re running two separate olfactory programs in their nose and brain continuously

Dogs can detect smells in parts per trillion, for example they could detect one dirty sock in a pile of two million clean ones, or one drop of blood in five quarts of water, or a teaspoon of sugar in two Olympic sized swimming pools. 

They can detect tobacco wrapped in 27 layers of polythene, or locate termites demolishing the foundations of a house, or pinpoint gas leaks in pipes buried deep underground. 

They can track escaped criminals or lost children and save lives by finding people buried deep under avalanches or lost on mountains.

Dogs are amazing

That’s why I was so excited to announce our new Nose Nerds training programme. If you want to help your dog develop their sniffing superpower and build a stronger and better relationship into the bargain, then why not join in?
