It is safe to say that Bracken the Golden Retriever is not in a hurry when he goes for a walk! He spends more time stopping and sniffing than he does walking, and he definitely decides when he want to go home by turning around and heading that way.
With millions more sense receptors than humans, a dog’s olfactory system is important as it allows them to process information and provides excellent mental stimulation. So don’t be worried if your dog is more sniff than stroll – they are getting a mental workout that is just as beneficial as a physical one!
