PHYSICAL STIMULATION ACTIVITIES
-
Forest Walk
With a network of groomed forest trails almost a mile in length, your dog will enjoy sniffing to his heart’s content. There are plenty of birds to watch and places to pee. Fifteen minutes is enough time for one full loop or two short loops.
-
Fetch/Frisbee
If your dog is wired to play ball or with a frisbee, this activity is for them. Fifteen minute of concentrated 1-on-1 time with one of our kennel technicians is just what your pup ordered.
-
dog getting belly rubs
For the aging dog or the inactive dog, a cuddle session may hit the mark. This 1-on-1 time will come with plenty of petting, lots of belly rubs, and is the perfect place for great pictures.
MENTAL STIMULATION ACTIVITIES
-
Lick Mat
Licking is a basic function for our canine friends. That’s why a lick mat hits the spot. It’s a simple, flat, plate with cracks and crevices filled with tasty treats. Lick mats are perfect for calming an anxious dog and for engaging the brain.
-
IQ Puzzle
Your dog is smart and their brains deserve to be exercised. The IQ Puzzle is a perfect way to combine their food motivation and their need for mental activity. Each of our IQ Puzzles are rated with different levels of difficulty so we can find the perfect fit for your pooch.
-
Stuffed Kong
We stuff and freeze our Kongs with the kinds of treats dogs love— peanut butter, yogurt, and pumpkin. The tough Kong exterior stands up to the toughest chewers and the hollow, treat-filled interior provides lots of licking downtime.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
-
Ball Pit
The Ballpit is a paw-shaped pool filled with colorful balls. We scatter a few of your furry friend’s favorite treats amongst the balls and the sniffing begins. Not only does this create wonderful photos, but it’s also excellent for exposing your dog to new sights, sounds, and textures.
-
Sniffari
Dogs receive an enormous amount of information through their noses- that’s how they are wired. A Sniffari is an adventure led by the nose. Inside Sniffaris use a variety of snuffle mats in an enclosed area. Outside Sniffaris capitalize on the vast outdoor space in our forest.
-
Basic Obedience
Our team is prepared to develop or reinforce basic obedience commands. The combination of mental, relational and work-related effort makes this enrichment a truly holistic activity.
