Dog Enrichment

Dog enrichment is about giving your dog opportunities to think, move, explore, and engage with the world in ways that are meaningful and rewarding. Enrichment helps meet a dog’s core behavioural and emotional needs by encouraging natural activities like sniffing, chewing, scavenging, and problem-solving.

This tag features posts that explain different types of enrichment and how to tailor them to your dog’s personality, energy level, and environment. Topics include scent work, puzzle toys, chewing alternatives, DIY activities, and creative ways to incorporate enrichment into your daily routine without adding stress or complexity.

Dog enrichment isn’t just about keeping your dog busy. It’s about improving emotional balance, reducing boredom and frustration, and supporting long-term behaviour wellness. Enrichment can also help with common issues like chewing, barking, pacing, or anxiety, especially when paired with clear communication and supportive training strategies.

At Belle & Bark, we see enrichment as a foundational part of humane training and well-being. Whether your dog is recovering from a tough experience, settling into a new home, or simply needs more mental stimulation, the tools in this section are designed to help them feel more confident, calm, and fulfilled.
