Research by Burghardt (2005) shows that self-directed play can boost cognitive development and reduce stress, while Bateson (2007) explains how letting dogs lead their play deepens the bond between you and your pet + enhances learning🧠 And speaking of learning…SwiftPaws is also a fun way to practice the ‘drop it’ command! #playtime should always be a positive experience where everyone wins🐾♥️ For more insights on pet enrichment and understanding natural behaviors, check out our video with CEO & founder Meghan 👉#linkinstory
