Sniff and Seek

Sniff & Seek is a progressive scent game designed to tap into your dog’s most powerful tool: their nose. Sniffing directly supports emotional regulation by activating the olfactory system, which is closely connected to the brain’s emotional and memory centers. When dogs sniff, they aren’t just searching for food — they’re processing, problem-solving, and decompressing.

In this video, you’ll learn how to:

  • Start with one object to build clarity and confidence

  • Gradually add additional objects without creating frustration

  • Transition from visible hiding to true scent work

  • Increase difficulty thoughtfully over time

The focus is on repetition, easy wins, and building reinforcement history so your dog learns to investigate calmly and confidently.

Sniff & Seek is perfect for mental enrichment, rainy days, adolescent dogs, or any dog who benefits from structured nose work that promotes focus and relaxation.
