Pet Dog Snuffle Mat Sniffing Treat Foraging Puzzle Feeder Toy Nose Training Pad.
Why does the sniffing mat for dog work?
- The structure of the olfactory mat is quite simple - fabric strips are woven or sewn into the base, creating a compact structure. The whole thing looks like a kind of rug, as some people call it. In these stripes, we can hide various treats for the dog, and its task is to win its prize. Correct hiding of food is that it is not visible to the dog - we just hide it between the strips. If we want to make the whole fun more difficult, we even recommend putting the flavor on the strip and rolling it so that finding it requires even more precision.
- Another issue is the aspect of using the nose itself. The domestic dog doesn't get much opportunity to train his sense of smell. During the day, we require our pet to observe us with sight (our body language) and hearing (voice commands). Often, even while walking, there is nothing to smell - all the same smells and places. The olfactory mat allows for a constant change in the intensity of stimuli, so we have a chance to provide the dog with something different every time. The use of various rewards, their different amounts and the degree of difficulty of the mat makes the game satisfying for our dog each time.
- The next one is a kind of learning to be independent. Usually, we lead the dog in every aspect of life. We say where to go while walking, we control the time and time of departure. We instruct the dog to perform certain actions, and so on. It is often the case that our dogs cannot / do not want to be independent. This can lead to some anxiety and stress in the event of unexpected situations, such as seeing a foreign dog nearby.
- The sniffing mat is an independent activity for the dog, in which the human is not directly involved. The handler hides the food, but the dog has to do the job and finds it very satisfying. Of course, there are other activities that teach independence even more.
- Meet the dog's sniffing needs. Improve the dog's ability to sniff. Reduce the behavior of picking up rubbish outside. Release the dog's excess energy. Exercise slow food, reduce the workload of the digestive system. Relieve separation anxiety and release stress.
- This colorful pet mat is more attractive to pets and stimulates the fun of their play. Don't worry that you don't have time to take him out for a walk.
- Washable and easy to clean.
