The Power of Scent

Firstly, we need to accept that dogs will get aroused as they have a strong sense of observation and smell picking up on our tone of voice and body language (4) and secondly, no matter what you may have been told about to ‘fix’ your dog’s stress, there is NO single method or technique, it requires a multifaceted approach that looks at the world from your dog’s perspective. So let’s not ignore or reprimand their arousal but rather understand and support them. This blog is written by Kerry, a qualified Canine Nutritionist and Behaviourist, with scientific evidence.
