The Sniffspot blog covers primarily four different areas: Sniffspot community, dog training, dog reactivity and dog enrichment.

Sniffspot community is mainly stories from the amazing people that use Sniffspot as guests or are sharing their land as hosts. Dog training is about how we can understand and build our relationships with these amazing creatures we call dogs. Dog reactivity is focused specifically on helping dogs deal with the stress of their modern life in the modern world. Dog enrichment is about how we can bring our dogs back to their evolutionarily-adapted world of running free and being a dog.
