Dogs aren’t stubborn — they’re opportunistic.

At Frey’s Place in Moraine, Ohio, owner Maria Oaks shows how nose work, sound therapy, and smart socialization can transform even the most energetic pups into calm, confident companions.

From her background managing animal care and behavior departments to running a full-fledged enrichment sanctuary, Maria explains why she built Frey’s Place to be so much more than a daycare. You’ll discover:

• 🐾 How dogs “see” through their noses — and the science behind Frey’s Place’s one-of-a-kind “Smellbrary,” a scent library featuring smells from around the world.

• 🎶 How crystal sound bowl therapy can reset anxious pups after stressful events like fireworks.

• 🐶 Why 15 minutes of mental stimulation equals an hour of walking when it comes to calming energy and building confidence.

• 🏊‍♂️ The benefits of the private dog park, agility course, indoor pool, and puzzle-box library that make this place a true dog sanctuary.

• 💡 Why socialization and behavior matter more than tricks — and how owners can create “bomb-proof” dogs by focusing on confidence first.

Maria’s mission is simple: help more dogs stay in homes and help owners understand what their pets really need.
