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.
