Simone Bakker of Mudita Hond en Mens (and Snuffeltuin Mudita) and Sam's dog service have created beautiful, valuable and educational templates that can be used in Sensory gardens that are connected with the Snuffle Garden Project. They are available in both Dutch and English. Email me to have the PDF sent to you.

The first of its kind , indoor enriched environment for dogs. Developed from the work of Turid Rugaas, The Dog Nose was opened in June 2018 by Kirsty Grant to provide a safe, secure, all weather space for dogs to exhibit natural behaviour.

Kirsty was incredibly generous and supportive of me when I opened ‘Dog Sense’ in Cornwall in 2020. One of the reasons we just bought a campervan is so that I can study scentwork with her in the future!

Let your dog sniff and explore!

On the Sensory Gardens 4 Dogs website you will find all kinds of information for free on what a Sensory garden is, how can you build a sensory garden for your dog or shelter, how to build a sensory experience on your balcony or at your house, what is enriched environment, what is a sensory walk and where can you find world wide sensory gardens:-)

Like their ancestors, all dogs need active sniffing each day for good mental health, for stimulation and calm behaviour.

Let’s talk now about How to keep your dog nose-happy
