A lot of people with high-energy dogs think that the best way to tire them out is to give them intense exercise (like fetching) While physical exercise is absolutely important, TOO much high-excitement activity can actually keep your dog in a spiral of: High excitement ➡️ can’t settle ➡️ demanding & impatient ➡️ more high-arousal activity ➡️ even higher excitement etc … It may sound counterintuitive, but try to introduce some LOW excitement, calm activities into your dog’s day (like sniff walks)

Your dog came with the perfect in-built calming mechanism: SNIFFING It lowers their heart rate within minutes, stops them from frantically scanning their environment and teaches them calm sustained focus. Many dogs have forgotten how to sniff. If that is your dog, I promise you that by spending just 3 minutes per day on sniffing practice your dog will become calmer, happier and more focused 💙 Let’s remind them of their sniffing superpower! | SpiritDog Training
