Upcoming Events
Join Hayley and Mackenzie as they break down canine enrichment. Learn what enrichment is, why it matters, and how to make it part of your daily routine. This presentation will explore how enrichment supports your dog’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being, and why it plays such an important role in behavior.
You’ll learn practical, realistic ways to incorporate enrichment into everyday life and leave with a variety of activity ideas you can use with dogs of all ages and lifestyles.
