The 5-Minute Sniff Hunt

An Easy Enrichment Game to Try With Your Pup

Intro: You don’t need expensive enrichment toys to give your dog’s brain something interesting to do. Hide a few pieces of food, let their nose take over, and turn five ordinary minutes into a simple search game.

A Simple Game. A Happier Pup.

The 5-Minute Sniff Hunt lets your dog do what they’re naturally good at: use their nose! Sniffing and searching can be a fun and rewarding form of enrichment, and this easy game is something you can try at home with just a few treats or pieces of kibble.

Tagline: Same dogs. Real life. Brighter days together.
