Enrich your pet’s life by giving them safe opportunities to practice species-typical behaviors.

Every animal’s preferences are unique! What my dog finds enriching may not enrich your dog. Pay attention to your pet’s behavior after they finish an activity, and prioritize ones that leave them content and restful; once we know this, then we can confidently label the activity ‘enriching.’ Enrichment is descriptive, not prescriptive.

Linked are some puzzle toys I’ve found many dogs love.

It’s a misconception that puzzle toys should always be challenging for the animal. Excessively challenging puzzles can lead to frustration and big feelings, which is what we’re trying to avoid! If you try puzzles, make sure they are ones your dog can do without getting upset and genuinely enjoys.
