The Snuffle Garden Project 

The Snuffle garden project is a community project and it's free.
Its aim is to raise awareness of the importance of senses for dogs, and how we can facilitate this.
The Snuffle garden project is not a business and is not located in just one place.
Rather it is a collection of like-minded people who care about dogs and are willing to provide an outdoor space for dogs to enjoy and to use their nose as nature intended.
It’s a dog welfare project!

In the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Greece and UK you can find Sensory Gardens or we also call them Snuffle gardens.
People, dogowners, dogschools, doglovers offers their garden for free for dogs to visit them.

The original idea is from Carolin Reger, a PDTE colleague from Germany.       
She dedicated the project to Turid Rugaas & Anne Lill Kvam.
Carolin is the creator of Aktion Schnüffelgärten with Carolin's permission, Birgitta used the concept for NL and Belgium.
In the UK there is also a Snuffle garden project managed by PDTE member Laura Dobb.
In Australia is a concept called the-busselton-snuffle-gardens/
If you also want to set up a Snuffle Garden Project in another country  please send an email to [email protected]

In Germany there are also a lot of Snuffle Gardens and it is growing! People can visit for free the garden but the garden owners are asking a free contribution for an animal welfare project / ngo.
