Sniff & Craft

Join Herdy Gertie’s Dog Training for a unique, dog-friendly enrichment experience that blends learning, creativity, and calm connection.

This small-group workshop introduces dogs and their people to the benefits of scent-based enrichment through guided sniffing games and a hands-on craft activity. Participants will learn how sniffing supports calm behavior, confidence, and mental well-being. Then create a heart-shaped snuffle mat to take home and use with their dog.

Designed to be low-pressure and accessible, Sniff & Craft is perfect for dogs who enjoy food-based enrichment and for owners who want practical tools they can use at home. No prior training experience is required.

What to expect:

• Guided sniffing and enrichment activities for dogs
• A made-and-take heart-shaped snuffle mat
• Instruction on using scent games to support calm behavior
• Small group setting (limited to 6 dogs)

This event is ideal for dog lovers looking for a creative, educational way to connect with their dog during the winter months.

Dogs must be comfortable working on leash around other dogs. Space is limited. Pre-registration required. Email herdygertietraining@gmail.com or text: (218) 590-3206
