What’s your dog’s “thing”?
Because it might not be the $70 enrichment toy sitting untouched in the corner.
Enrichment has become a massive buzz word lately.
Every second product promises mental stimulation, calmness and fulfilment.
But real enrichment?
It’s much simpler .
Some dogs would choose shredding cardboard over a puzzle toy every single time.
Some want to sniff every blade of grass.
Some thrive on running, jumping and movement.
Some love chewing and licking.
Some enjoy solving problems.
Some just want to quietly watch the world go by.
That’s the bit we can miss.
We start choosing enrichment based on trends, marketing or what other dogs enjoy instead of observing our own dogs and what brings them joy.
A dog walking away from a puzzle toy is not “failing enrichment”.
They may simply be telling you
“This isn’t my thing.”
So what is?💭
