What is Paws Explore?

Paws Explore is a secure, private and enriching space where dogs can:

  • Move freely without pressure

  • Explore, sniff, taste, and listen at their own pace

  • Stimulate their body and brain

  • Choose what they want to do, or not do, and feel safe doing it

Multisensory enrichment provides a wide variety of positive opportunities for our dogs.

Paws Explore sessions support:

  • Developing a sense of confidence

  • Improved choice making and agency

  • Calmness and decompression

  • Gentle movement and mindful exploration

  • Natural behaviour and independence

Who is it for?

Whether your dog is a confident explorer or unsure about new things, Paws Explore welcomes all dogs - from fully vaccinated puppies to seniors, from sensitive to enthusiastic dogs. All personalities are welcome to navigate and enjoy!

Paws Explore is ideal for:

  • Dogs navigating something physical - whether due to ageing, illness or injury, managing chronic pain, restricted exercise, post operative entertainment and would benefit from slow, thoughtful movement and an opportunity to engage all the senses.

  • Dogs navigating something emotionally - part of support for anxiety/fear, become easily overwhelmed by the big outside world, lack confidence in new environments

  • Dogs living with sensory impairments or sensitivities

  • Senior dogs experiencing physical, emotional and cognitive decline

  • Puppies and adolescents needing safe and positive development opportunities

  • Exuberant dogs who struggle to settle and slow dow

  • Dogs needing a calm, private space to decompress

  • Or just just for fun!

Whether your dog needs rest, a reset, or a slower pace - these sessions offer a calm and supportive space to meet their individual needs.

They'll adore the Paws Explore experience.

What you get

You get the rare chance to see your dog in a whole new way, and to better understand their choices - from how they engage with items, to the tiny decisions they make that tell us so much about their experience.

For dogs: It's a calming, gentle and low-impact activity designed to stimulate their mind and senses (taste, sight, touch, hearing, smell, proprioception).

For humans: An opportunity to relax and observe your dog's movements, choices and preferences. Be prepared to have fun and learn (or confirm) a thing or two about your amazing pup.

Every session is tailored to your dog

  • They set the pace

  • They choose where to go

  • We simply watch, support, and learn

And they leave feeling more calm, confident, and fulfilled.
