Training to become a certified therapy dog takes lots of exposure to a variety of different environments, smells, sounds, objects, people, sudden movements, medical equipment and a dog who has the capacity to work in fast paced, changing environments. The dog must have the ability to focus on the handler despite anything that may be going on around them. This takes a lot of training. There’s no predicting what can happen on a visit so being prepared is imperative.

Senior dogs need canine enrichment too! Wonderful opportunities for mental stimulation, problem solving and movement. Grab a few boxes that aren’t too tall or deep, some treats or kibble, throw the food in the boxes and place them around the house. Your dog will do the rest!

The making of besties 💕 Appropriate socialization is key to raising a happy, well adjusted puppy. Willow was a great teacher to puppy Ginger today during her training session.

We are totally crushing on these enrichment bowls in challenging fun shapes and colors.
What’s your favorite way to enrich your dogs life when you feed them their meals or want to increase mental stimulation?
My dogs love eating from food stuff-able toys, lick mats, puzzels, snuffle mats, treat dispensers and slo-feeders. They love it so much I stopped feeding them from regular bowls a long time ago.
For starters it’s so much fun for your puppy or dog! Fantastic for senior dogs too! It promotes mental and physical stimulation and problem solving skills.
The idea of food stuff-able and treat dispensing toys is that your pup has to figure out how to get the treat / food out of the toy to eat.
There are so many benefits to feeding your pups out of toys.
☑️Slows down eating which reduces health risks associated from fast eating like bloat.
☑️If your pup is a picky eater it can turn mealtime into a fun game.
☑️Provides mental stimulation, which is just as important as physical exercise.
☑️Pups that lick are receiving a release of pleasurable endorphins which gives dogs a feeling of comfort and pleasure.
⭐️ I also love the use of them in training class to keep your pup occupied during lectures and breaks.
Give it a try and let us know how your pup likes it. Any animal can benefit from enrichment toys and we would love to see how your pet is using theirs. Tag us and show off your pet!
Happy training!

Meal times are a great time to use your snuffle mats. They encourage foraging, problem solving, confidence building, mental stimulation and physical activity. 
Now that’s some awesome core strength! Train with us. Bond with your dog.
