When scientists trained 12 dogs to lie still in an MRI machine (without any sedation!), they found something cool: 👉🏽 The reward center of every dog’s brain lit up more for their person’s scent than for any other smell. That means your smell = love, trust, and safety. And other scientific studies are fueling the Let Them Sniff Movement that’s taking over dog world. New research shows that sniffing doesn’t just entertain dogs, it changes their brains, making them more optimistic and calm. In...

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - A few weeks ago, Burt and I were driving from Pittsburgh to Cape Cod, right in the middle of peak leaf season. I booked a quaint bed and breakfast in Connecticut because I thought it would feel like we were in Gilmore Girls. (spoiler: no Lorelai at check-in ☕️) Despite the lovely setting, I braced for a terrible night’s sleep. Burt never settles in new places — he paces and pants all night. But this time, I remembered something pianist Lisa Spector told...

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], how's your week going? I've been deep in episode 4 of my new podcast. It's all about visual enrichment — how light, color, and movement can actually calm your dog. This kind of enrichment is considered passive, which means it’s one of the easiest (and most vibey) ways to improve your dog’s life. Think: a sunny window perch, a prism that throws rainbows, or even a little disco ball casting cool light around the room. 👉🏽 Listen to Ep. 4: What Your Dog Sees:...

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - We all love a lick mat moment… but there’s so much more to food enrichment than that! Episode 3 of my new podcast is all about FOOD BASED ENRICHMENT 🍩 And honestly, it might change the way you feed your dog forever. I’m not exaggerating. Nobody else is talking about this food enrichment in this way! I’ve spent years studying enrichment (and tested more Toppl techniques than I can count 😅), and this episode dives into the real science behind how we feed...

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - Last week, my new podcast Dog Enrichment with Tori Mistick officially launched 🤩 and I’m so excited to bring you the first deep dive episode today! We’re starting with Mental Enrichment, because puzzles and brain games are what most people think of when they hear “enrichment.” But as I explain in the episode, it’s not just about keeping your dog busy. “The goal of enrichment is NOT to tire out your dog. It’s to give them a better quality of life.”...

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - I'm so excited that episode 1 of my brand new podcast is officially out! 🎉 Should we have cake for breakfast to celebrate?? Burt says yes! This has been in the works for months! I did so much research and set up all new tech gear to take this show to the next level. These days, podcasts are all video, so I watched all the top shows for inspiration. Watch Episode 1: What Is Dog Enrichment? on Spotify to see how I did! In this episode, you'll hear: My...

Ciao from Italy, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE]! A few days before we left for our trip, I found out there was going to be a “little wine festival” in the town where we’d be staying. Charming, right? Except… it turned out to be the most popular event for miles around! When we arrived, we had to weave through a sea of people with wine glasses on the cobblestone streets to even find our Airbnb. 😂 Naturally, we changed out of our airplane clothes and went right back out to join the fun! The...

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], I just finished recording the first episode of my new Dog Enrichment with Tori Mistick podcast 🤩 I’m barricaded in my office (in the best way), pulling research and building fun game ideas for your pups.
