Appa is one of our school facility dogs and he comes from our Rosey and Astro litter. He is such a lucky dood he gets amazing social enrichment on a weekly basis!
Social enrichment: 🐾 Today, I wanted to share a little something about social enrichment for our furry friends. Social enrichment is not just a buzzword—it's a vital aspect of a dog's life that encompasses engaging with other dogs, different species of animals, and, of course, us humans. 🐶🐾
It's essential to remember that a dog's need for social interaction doesn't fade as they grow older. Unlike socialization, which is crucial during puppyhood, social enrichment is a lifelong process. 🌟 Ensuring our pups have regular opportunities to interact with a variety of beings keeps them happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. 💬❤️ 🐕🦴💞
Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
*BUILD STRONG BONDS with your furry friend through relationship-building exercises with both people in your home and out! 🐾💖 This is so incredibly important and one of the first activities to work on the second you bring your new puppy home.
*Create POSITIVE associations with trainers, vets, and other pet professionals to help ensure your pup gets the best care and interactions. 🐕👩⚕️
*PROPER socialization with other dogs is key to a happy, healthy pet! Please be mindful and choose your dogs friends wisely 🐶✨
