This workshop is a therapeutic experience. Your dog will be allowed to self-direct their movement, tracking hidden rewards or processing new scents completely at their own pace.

The Therapeutic Benefits include:

* Reduces Stress & Lowers Heart Rate: Deep sniffing activates parts of the canine brain associated with relaxation, effectively decreasing heart rate and lowering blood pressure. Just 10 minutes of targeted scent exploration can provide a calming effect equivalent to a much longer physical walk.

* Builds Confidence and Optimism: Studies suggest that allowing animals to solve self-guided olfactory puzzles promotes a "positive judgment bias," making nervous, timid, or rescue dogs significantly more confident.

* Provides a Low-Impact Energy Outlet: It is incredibly beneficial for hyperactive dogs, senior dogs experiencing cognitive decline, or dogs on restricted exercise due to injury, as it tires them out mentally without straining their bodies.

* Redirects Reactive Behaviours: For reactive or easily overstimulated dogs, focusing heavily on a scent trail limits external distractions and helps them process environments safely.

Limited spaces! Don't miss out.

We love raising money for charity here at Muddy Mutleys and our October Charity is StreetVet. https://fundraising.streetvet.org.uk/clare-grierson

We are once again running a Dog Dash Fun run, this year The Devil's Dog Dash as it is so close to Halloween so look out for some devils running through Trent Park.

StreetVet is an amazing charity helping homeless people with veterinary care for their animals who bring them so much comfort and for many give them a reason for living when times are so tough.

I hope we raise LOADS as the winter is particularly tough on the street.

I thank you in advance for your support. Clare x
