What is Enrichment Daycare and is it a Good Fit for my Dog?

Enrichment dog daycare provides playtime to dogs, but it also provides mental stimulation while also encouraging obedience. The toys used challenge the dog’s thinking skills and sensory work.

 

Your dog will still get their free playtime which is always important as it helps to wear them down physically. The structure dog play they get with enrichment daycare allows the dog to tap into their own instincts and abilities, plus they get more one-on-one attention from the staff.

 

Enrichment dog daycare activities focus on physical, social and emotional care of the dog. It not only helps with the physical aspects of dog play but provides mental stimulation. This helps reduce destructive behaviors at home.

 

Another thing to keep in mind is that incorporating the same type of games at home can be deeply satisfying to your dog. There are various types of methods you can use to adapt to your dog’s age, cognitive abilities, even breed. There are also various types including sensory, cognitive and nutritional.
