Engaging a dog’s sense of smell through sniffing activities can be both mentally and physically tiring for them. Sniffing requires significant brain activity, as dogs process complex olfactory information, leading to mental fatigue. Additionally, the physical act of sniffing involves various muscles and increases breathing, contributing to overall tiredness.

For example, the American Kennel Club notes that “sniffing is a great form of canine mental stimulation and increases respiratory rate, making it a tiring activity.” Similarly, PetMD highlights that “sniffing has been shown not only to reduce a dog’s heart rate (lowering stress) but also to release dopamine, the brain chemical that promotes happiness.”

Moreover, a study cited by Tug-E-Nuff states that “just 20 minutes of sniffing is equivalent to an hour-long walk in terms of enrichment for your dog.” This emphasizes how mentally engaging sniffing can be, leaving the dog tired but satisfied.

Incorporating scent games like “Find it” or allowing your dog to explore smells during walks can provide this beneficial mental stimulation. These activities not only tire your dog in a healthy way but also contribute to their overall well-being. #bordercollie #dogs #puppy #doggielife #doglover
