Why is enrichment important for your dog? 

DOGS NEED ENRICHMENT...

...to reduce stress, give them some control over their environment, and keep them occupied in constructive, non-destructive ways that encourage their natural behaviours.

Be sure to provide a variety of tug toys, chew toys, food toys... and supervise their use initially to create the right habits. 

Feed meals out of work-to-eat toys or toss kibble in the grass for them to find/snuffle.

Other non-food enrichment is letting your dog-social pooch hang with mates here and there in a controlled way, providing your dog that loves digging with a legal digging spot, do some tracking and tugging with toys to release energy, let your dog use their nose and spend some bonding time with each other.

And of course: Give your enriched canine loads of opportunities to sniff out on their walks. Dogs navigate the world through their noses, like humans do through their eyes.

Enrichment isn't a method of tiring dogs out, it's a method of increasing their wellbeing.

Please remember your dog’s safety is your responsibility. No dog toy is indestructible. Choose only toys that are the appropriate shape and size for your dog and always supervise your dog’s use of toys.
