This week’s Down Dog Digestible is all about scent – why dogs might react to things when out and about, why scent is such an emotional experience, and why your dog might react oddly to things sometimes.

Did you know dogs can breathe in and out at the same time?

I also outline your dog’s amazing and different smelling system and have to stop myself talking too much (as usual). Did you know dogs can breathe in and out at the same time? And that they have different pathways for different scent types?

If you want to know more about your dog’s superpower, watch our free webinar here. 

Has your dog ever reacted oddly to something or someone? Is there somewhere your dog is reluctant to go? Could it be a certain scent or scent memory? Please write and let me know.

You can find today’s Digestible here along with the others from previous weeks.

Become a Nose Nerd detective with our ongoing programme

Our Nose Nerds are off solving their first mystery, but you can still join in – all the information (and some free scent games) can be found on our Nose Nerds page. It’s an ongoing course, so you can work through it at your own pace.

Please do write in and ask if you have a question you’d love us to answer. I want to make sure these Digestibles answer any doggy queries you have.

Enjoy!

Keep safe,

Carol
