They are so good for our canine companions
A sniffari is an outing in which your dog sniffs whatever she wants and leads you where she wants to go. It’s distinctly different in mindset than taking your dog out for a walk for exercise. The point of a sniffari is to allow your dog to explore the world by way of all its glorious smells. Most dogs want to take in the smells on a walk and explore based on what odors are around. Being constantly prevented from doing so as people urge them to keep moving can be very frustrating for them and robs them of the opportunity to follow their noses. It would be like humans going on a hike and being whisked along too fast to visually register the trees, the flowers and the view of the mountains.
