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 exploring is positive and relaxing for the dog, and the room allows the owner to know the dog is exploring safely. If your dog has an allergies or intolerances, Laura will provide food suitable. Photo: James Hardisty

Snuffl is not recommened for more than once a month, and loyalty cards are on offer. Laura asks that dogs be fed and have been to the toilet before entering the indoor room so they can make the most of the smells and senses, without a distraction. Photo: James Hardisty
