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.”

The space isn't "sacred", says Laura, so the dogs can rip up the paper in the box, and have a good time whilst exploring. If anything became digestible, Laura will calmly remove the item, and the dog can resume it's activities. Photo: James Hardisty

Laura says the idea of the room is to let lots of lights in, and have the sounds, but to also have the room quite private so the windows aren't see-through. Photo: James Hardisty
