Set up at the Spring Fur-Fest Outdoor Vendor Fair at Richmond Peddlers Mall, Grim is doing amazing at his first event! He’s a much better salesman than I am.

We have been working on his place command and he is killing it! From kids to cars to other dogs, he’s not fazed, thank you Core K9 Training!

All of our enrichment items are on sale, come see us and all the other vendors to support the Humane Society, Animal League for Life of Madison County, KY!

"Contrafreeloading is the behaviour seen in most animals that when an animal is offered a choice between free food or identical food that requires effort, the animal prefers the food that requires effort" (Glen Jensen, 1963).

The concept of contrafreeloading leads us to canine enrichment. When food is readily available, the act of food puzzles, ditching the bowl, snuffle mats or stuffable toys are enjoyable to most animals (dogs, raccoons, even CHICKENS!).

Can you guess which domesticated animal is the exception?

Interactive feeding toys activate the pleasure centers in your dog's brain, leading to a happier, more stimulated dog.

Grim enjoying his Honey Pot!

Titan Red Raw formula partially frozen makes for a delicious breakfast that slows down his eating and keeps him busy for mom.

Honey Pot holds about 3/4 cup kibble, but holds a bit more of raw or wet food. Very versatile and tons of ways to use this feeder/toy.
Grim here is still a baby and a bit more particular than his big sis, who will eat hers however.
He gets his overfilled to get him started and it dethaws on the counter for around 15 minutes.

What is Canine Enrichment?
“Dogs need enrichment to reduce stress, give them some control over their environment, and keep them occupied in constructive, non-destructive ways. When you encourage species- and breed-specific behaviors with dog enrictoys or other activities, your dog can satisfy their need for mental and physical stimulation in appropriate ways that will promote good health and well-being. Enrichment activities can also help to promote the human-canine bond and make them a more congenial companion and housemate.” - fetchfind.com
