Does your dog have a
lot of energy?
Could your dog be
happier?
Then make your dog's
life more interesting and fulfilling! Enrich your dog's life!
Dogs engaged in
enrichment activities are less likely to develop the inappropriate behaviors
that are the result of boredom, stress, and frustration. Dogs can display
behaviors out of stress and frustration such as, barking, jumping, spinning,
chewing, among others.
Excessive stress can
leave dogs susceptible to depression, frustration, dietary disturbances, and
even compromise their immune system. Long-term stress reduces the immune
system's ability to fight disease so it is important that stressors are reduced
for the dogs. (It is the same for humans)
Variety
is the key to an enriching life for your dog. Engage all five of your dogs'
senses, to make their days more interesting. Anything that is unchanging is no
longer unique and loses it value quickly.
