Burt couldāve been sniffing for truffles?!

Listen up, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - āA dog getting to use their nose is as important as a child learning to read.ā Fern Watt dropped that line on the new episode of Pets Add Life and I'm obsessed. I was asked to be a guest co-host with my friend Kristen Levine, and it turned into one big celebration of enrichment and Labradors. š¤© I shared the story of first spotting Burt on Petfinder around National Dog Day in 2018. Then Fern told us about scent work and truffle-hunting dogs. (Youāre telling me Burt could have been sniffing for truffles instead of dead deer this whole time? I need to re-think everything.) We also talked with Lisa Spector about her Chopin for Dogs album and how intentionally playing the right music can lower our dogsā stress levelsā¦ and maybe even help them live longer. For me, the thread running through the whole episode is this: enrichment isnāt just puzzle toys. Itās sniffing, sound, movement, bonding. Itās everywhere once you start to look. Thatās why people know me as the enrichment lady š because I see it, live it, and teach it in ways that most people online donāt. Check out this special episode with guest host ME!!ā xo Tori P.S. I did sneak in a shoutout for my favorite eco-friendly poop bags, too. Because enrichment is great, but real dog life = š© Use my code "wwr10" to get a discount. |
