Free work is a sensory-based activity created by Sarah Fisher from Animal Centred Education (ACE). Free work is designed to support a dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing. It involves setting up a variety of textures, smells, and surfaces for your dog to explore at their own pace. This natural, pressure-free activity encourages them to use their senses, build confidence, and engage in calming behaviours like sniffing and licking. Free work is particularly beneficial for anxious or reactive dogs, as it promotes relaxation and helps them process their environment without added stress. It’s also a great way to strengthen the bond between you and your pet while giving them enriching mental stimulation.
