‘Rather than throwing the ball for the dog, I would actually go out into the garden and I would hide two or three toys there and go with the dog to help him find it. But actually getting the dog to use his nose. So many dogs are reactionary, it’s eyes, eyes all the time and their best scent is their nose and we so very rarely, rarely help them to use that and draw on it because we love throwing balls and dogs love it.’ - Caroline Spencer Dog (Behaviour and Canine Training Specialist)
