💡 Enrichment Idea: Take Your Dog on a Car Sniffari! 🚗👃
Looking for a fun way to enrich your dog’s day when a walk isn’t possible? Try a sniffy car ride! 🌟
Secure your dog in the car, roll down the windows, and drive slowly around your neighborhood. Let them enjoy the breeze and take in all those exciting new smells. This is a great alternative for older dogs, those with mobility issues, or pups who pull on the leash. It’s also perfect for cooling down and relaxing after stressful events.
If your dog isn’t quite comfortable with car rides yet, let’s work on making them feel more at ease. My training services in Waco are designed to help with all sorts of behavior and enrichment needs, including creating positive car experiences.

"That`s my doggy, Ace. I love him!" - My toddler everyday 😭😍🥹
When my toddler would ask to hug Ace, I responded with: "Doggies don`t like to be hugged, but you can [insert safe option here]!" Now when the topic of hugs comes up, he says to me "Dogs don`t like hugs" and that makes me such a proud Mama.
I also love that he *asked* if he could hug the dog, instead of just doing it. This tells me that my efforts to model body boundaries & consent are working! By first asking my toddler if I can give him a hug, he now offers others the same courtesy.
