The garden, owned by dog coach Laura Dobb, is situated at the bottom of Eastborough and is fondly named Snuffl.
Snuff is indoor enrichment for your four legged friend
Laura said: “I call it a sensory garden because I try and bring green elements in as we’re in the town.
“Dogs really benefit from having an enclosed space, whether that be outdoors with a fence around and or an indoor space, to use all of their senses because a dog's primary issue in life is to feel safe.
“Even when they’re outside like at the forest or at the beach or even if you think there’s no one around, they are always on the alert to look at who’s behind them.”
The idea is for the dogs to enter the sensory garden, which is decked out in items for the dogs to explore by using their senses, and the owner sits down and together you encourage the dog to use it’s natural behaviour.”

Laura describes the indoor garden as a 'focused experience', and so only one dog is allowed in the room at a time. Depending on yours and the dogs needs, two may be allowed but no more than two. Photo: Richard Ponter

Laura says: "A lot of dogs have just walked on a pavement, or in Scarborough go on the beach. Beaches are fine except there's not a lot of interest from the dog, a lot of people are ball throwing but that's not a natural behaviour." Photo: James Hardisty
