Some happy smiling faces on this dreary day!
Did you know that enrichment is a vital part of your dog living a happy, healthy life?
This, very basically, means allowing your dog to use their instincts, so enrichment looks different for each dog! Some easy ways to provide enrichment are; “sniffari” walks, a lick mat, and putting some treats or kibble in a box filled with toys or paper recycling. A good place to start is by identifying what your dog likes to do; digging, jumping, tearing things up, herding, chewing, etc, and find something safe that they can use to do those things! Expressing these natural behaviors helps to stimulate and also soothe their brain, and can also help decrease destructive behaviors.
Mixing together physical activity and mental stimulation, like these pups all did today, is the key for a more peaceful life with your pet!
