Current and former clients of mine will be very familiar with my enthusiasm about these three things. All three are inherently calming, natural behaviours for dogs. We can utilise these things in behaviour work to help our dogs feel happy and calm, and to combat challenging behaviours. It works!
SNIFFING is used as a calming signal between dogs and naturally aids relaxation.
LICKING releases endorphins and serotonin, which both help dogs feel less anxious.
CHEWING triggers the release of endorphins, and helps dogs relieve boredom and self-soothe.
