My trainer recommended scent games instead of more fetch. Has anyone noticed a difference?

I noticed a significant difference when I started incorporating scent games for my Portuguese Pointer. He seems much more engaged and mentally stimulated. He initially preferred fetching, but now I see him using his nose more, which is great for his natural instincts. I think these scent games are much better for his overall well-being.

Yes, I've transitioned to scent games and saw a big improvement in my dog's focus and behavior. He still enjoys fetch, but the mental challenge of finding hidden treats seems to calm him down. It's a great alternative if your dog tends to get a bit too excitable with fetch.

I've replaced fetch with scent games for my Portuguese Pointer, and it's been amazing. He has so much fun finding the hidden treats! This change has reduced his hyperactivity and keeps his mind sharp. I highly recommend trying it; it’s a fantastic way to bond and work their brains.
