Enrichment through Scentwork for Highly Aroused Dogs Quotes

“When used naturally, the chase and capture/kill is relatively brief and followed by a long time relaxing, chewing and eating.

“When used naturally, the chase and capture/kill is relatively brief and followed by a long time relaxing, chewing and eating. When we manipulate this sequence with a ball launcher, we interrupt it and the dog gets the adrenaline rush of the chase over and over – but with no effective final chew and relax. This is why ball launchers can exacerbate hyper-arousal.”
