It is excellent for dogs who need some variety during their daycare days, dogs who have excess energy they need to burn off, or dogs who do better in a smaller, tailored group setting. Enrichment activities encourage your dog to use their nose, problem-solve, and can be self-soothing. We will introduce a wide variety of food and non-food enrichment activities that help make sure your pup gets all the mental exercise they need. You can add this package to your Doggy Daycare or Board and Train packages.
