What other dog owners are saying about our new scent games

Gorgeous Winnie loves searching round the house for her favourite clam toy (available from the Tug-e-Nuff website) – it’s a soft oval toy with a Velcro closed pouch that you can hide food in.

Her owner, Stephen, says “The sniffing noises amaze me. She sounds like she’s playing a small drum. And it tires her out.” 

Sensible Stephen has joined our Devotee membership, so he’s raring to go with Nose Nerds when it starts in March.

Our Devotees truly are Nose Nerds and love our scent games and nosework days. 

Here’s what Sandra says:
“We are lucky to be one of Down Dog’s OBI Agents as this “job” provides our dog, Laoise, with all the tasks she loves doing:   Tracking, scenting, searching AND finding. For us, it is being part of a group of lovely, like-minded people – and we have solved some complex mysteries in the past couple of years!  
 
Carol and the team continuously come up with brilliant ideas for new “cases” we then have to solve with the help of our dogs who have to find the evidence with their noses, first.  We then, as a group, will piece together what we found to crack the case.
 
This is far better than reading a book or watching a crime series on the telly as we end up with tired, happy dogs and tired happy people.
 
All our dogs have improved their skills so much over the past years.  And we have improved, too, being able to read our dogs better. 

Is your dog a happy tired dog?

Nose-work is the best bonding agent for owner and dog.  Doing something together full of fun as a dog-owner team, seems to have done the trick.  Tracking, searching and scenting has given our shy dog Laoise more confidence in herself.  So nice to see.
 
Let’s hope for many more years of nose-work with Down Dog.   Can’t wait for the new Nose Nerds programme to start so we can learn some more new skills.”
