Enrichment Course
Enrichment Games and Ideas to keep your dog engaged
Enrichment enables dogs to explore and use their natural instincts. Enrichment activities can prevent boredom, build confidence, and teach a variety of skills such as problem-solving, searching and agility.
It allows them to sniff and chew appropriately. Plus, it’s the ideal way to manage their energy, encouraging calmer behaviour and helping them to learn good habits.
Enrichment is a vital aspect of canine care, benefiting dogs' well-being in numerous ways. Dogs require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive, much like their human counterparts. From interactive toys and sensory games to puzzles and treasure hunts, engaging in enrichment activities is key to meeting these needs.
Enrichment should be provided daily and can be used throughout the day. If your pup gets over excited, you can pull out one of these enrichment games. Alternatively, if you want to keep them occupied while you are having dinner, give your dog an enrichment toy with some of their food inside. This will help to keep them safe and prevent them from chewing on things they shouldn’t – such as your favourite pair of slippers!
Enrichment also helps to prevent mouthing. While it is normal for puppies to do this, you need to help them learn what is appropriate for them to chew on.
Course Summary
By incorporating enrichment into your dog's daily routine, you can prevent boredom, reduce destructive behaviors, and deepen the bond with your pet.
