When you take your dog for a walk, let him sniff.
Smell is the most important sense for dogs, as important as sight is to humans.
Use this to your advantage when you take your dog for a walk. Let him really discover and explore his world by sniffing. This will not only make his walk much more enjoyable but will also help tire him out. Sniffing is an easy to do mental enrichment exercise for dogs.

When I was younger our dogs would sniff everything. I used to find it so funny
Stella loves finding new sniffs, shame they’re not always pleasant ones!
Indeed. They always find the stinky stuff so much more attractive…
we only drag easy away when he sniffs on poo :o) it’s probably like reading the news :o)
Yeah… sometimes I rather look other way as I really don’t want to know where they stick their nose into
Interesting piece. Often I see owners dragging their poor dogs while they try to sniff x
True. A lot of people do it.
I never knew why… there is no harm in sniffing
