Saturday and Sunday saw me and Clyde attending a two day SIRIUS
Sniffer Workshop at Dog Training Ireland, Blanchardstown. It was a great thrill
to see the International trainer, Kelly Dunbar, utilising the natural instinct
of dogs to sniff and turn it into a challenging game where the dog has to switch
from using its brain to using its nose.
Instead of stopping your dog to smell, like almost all of us
do almost all of the time, why not allow him to use this, his strongest sense, remember
that dogs “see” through their noses similar to how we see through our eyes. You, as handler, can decide what is
appropriate in what circumstance but don’t stop your companion from “seeing”
his environment totally.
