The Power of Scent

Firstly, we need to accept that dogs will get aroused as they have a strong sense of observation and smell. They pick up on the tone of our voice and body language. Secondly, you cannot “fix”your dog’s stress with a single method. It requires a multifaceted approach, looking at the world from their perspective. So let’s not ignore or reprimand their arousal but rather understand and support them. This blog was written by Kerry, a qualified Canine Nutritionist and Behaviourist, with scientific evidence. Topics in this blog include;
