S4:E12 Why Scent Work Might Be The Training Tool You’ve Been Missing (Guests: Tanya Lawless & Leigh Russell)This week on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast, Max and Sam chat with Tanya Lawless and Leigh Russell from Unpacked Dog Education and Training. With a strong background in dog behaviour and scent detection, they share how scent work can support the overall well being of our dogs.From managing prey drive, to using sniffing games in behavioural consults, this episode is packed with tips for building focus, reducing stress, and enriching your dog’s life. Whether you have a working therapy dog, or you just want to try something new with your pet dog at home, this episode is for you.*If you're wanting to try some scent activities at home with your dog, Tanya and Leigh recommend adding the scent to a cotton ball and then ideally placing it in something like a container so your dog can't actually touch the cotton ball when they find them.Website: https://unpackeddogtraining.com.au/Follow Unpacked Dog Training On:-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unpackeddogtraining/-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpackeddogeducationSUBSCRIBE!Interested in Animal-Assisted Therapy / Animal-Assisted Services and studying with Therapy Dogs Australia?
