It's heartbreaking when people stop their dogs from sniffing, zigzagging, or exploring on walks because that's how dogs experience the world. For them, walks aren't about covering distance— they're about engaging with their surroundings through scent. So next time you feel frustrated by your dog stopping to sniff or following scents in all directions, try to slow down and appreciate the moment with them. Of course, there are times when constant sniffing may not be ideal, but those should be the exception, not the rule.🐾
