Time to relax

I learnt a lot today when our niece and her husband came to visit, along with their six dogs. In a few weeks time, all being well, N and I will be taking on a new member of the family, a Sheltie pup, so J and A gave us the benefit of some of their knowledge of dog behaviour. The photo shows some of their dogs enjoying some relaxation while they forage for treats using such things as licky mats and snuffle mats, along with other treats that they had to search for around the garden. It was very interesting to watch their behaviour and the interaction between the six dogs.
