Enrichment has gained popularity lately, but its true essence often remains a mystery. 🤔

Many are unaware of what it truly entails and why it’s vital for your dogs to experience it. To put it simply, Enrichment is “the action of improving or enhancing the quality or value of something” (Oxford languages) and when it comes to our dogs, there is a long list of reasons why it’s imperative for their wellbeing. 🐕✨

In this article, MJ @mjatmgf delves into how enrichment addresses your dog’s various needs (biological, emotional, social, force-free training/learning and cognitive). Plus, you’ll find valuable tips on incorporating it into your furry friend’s life.🐾 Get ready to elevate your pup’s world! 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾🌎
