your dog thinks you smell like love ๐Ÿถ


When scientists trained 12 dogs to lie still in an MRI machine (without any sedation!), they found something cool:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ The reward center of every dogโ€™s brain lit up more for their personโ€™s scent than for any other smell.

That means your smell = love, trust, and safety.

And other scientific studies are fueling the Let Them Sniff Movement thatโ€™s taking over dog world. New research shows that sniffing doesnโ€™t just entertain dogs, it changes their brains, making them more optimistic and calm.

In this week's podcast episode, I break down why:

  • Sniffing lowers your dog's heart rate and cortisol.
  • Two weeks of scent training made pet dogs more optimistic than 2 weeks of obedience training.
  • Scent-based games to calm hyper dogs (yes, even crazy doodles!).
