Enrichment isn’t about keeping dogs busy,
it’s about helping you and your dog live more fully together.
Activities that encourage natural behaviors such as sniffing, problem-solving, movement,
and exploration reduces stress and supports overall emotional well-being.

These visits are for current clients only. If you have never worked with me, that's ok. Let's schedule an enrichment session so I can get to know your dog, what they like, and what your goals for the sessions are.
All sessions are tailored to your dog's specific likes and needs.
Below are some different types of things we can focus on, but always know we can adjust or change focus as needed.
This is a great place to start if you are new to enrichment. We’ll explore different types of enrichment and find what works best for your dog’s personality and energy level as well as what you enjoy too. Try a little bit of nose-works, some games and activities, see how they like agility. Find what makes them light up, and ways you can provide more of that for them.
Teach your dog to search and find rewards. Dogs love to sniff, and this gives them a structured, rewarding way to do it.
Did you know you can teach your dog agility at home? No special equipment needed!
We’ll use what you already have, both indoors and outdoors, to create simple agility courses with opportunities to go under, over, around, and through. Along the way, we can incorporate cues and skills your dog already knows (and maybe a few new ones) to build confidence and coordination.
Games are one of the most effective ways to engage with your dog. They can be used to practice cues, build skills, increase confidence, or simply create positive interactions.
Some games are calming and supportive for nervous dogs, while others are just about having fun and being silly together.
Have you always wanted to teach your dog a trick but don't know how? We can explore your dog's silly side and see what they like. You might even have a circus dog under your nose and not even know it!
Don't think you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Learning is not just for the young pups - but some of the extra movement can be too much. As dogs age, their abilities and preferences change too. I can help you navigate that so they don't get bored, they can stay safely active, and you can give them the best golden years possible.
These sessions take enrichment to the next level. Using games and fun, you'll learn how to build better communication,
a stronger relationship, and the foundation on which all skills are built - engagement.
Why go for a walk when you can go on an adventure? Let's take enrichment out into the wild and go for a walk, hike, or public outings. We'll add challenges, parkour, games, and have fun. The more you engage with your dog, the more they will engage back - meaning they will respond to cues better, pay more attention, and build the skills that make a great companion.
Does training your dog feel boring? Have you taken obedience classes but have a hard time practicing the skills at home or in a real world setting? Allow me to introduce practice games! These games focus primarily on fun but in doing so, skills build naturally without the dog even realizing they are learning anything. How sneaky!
Most enrichment games are for you and your dog to do together. But what about the rest of the family? Let's get them all involved - kids, parents, neighbors, whoever wants to play! We put a spin on common family games so they can include your dog. If you have children, we'll tailor the games to fit the appropriate ages as well as their interests. Kids can come up with some truly amazing - and hilarious - games and tricks. Games also give kids a safe way to engage without overwhelming the dog.
Does your dog need help feeling safe? Do you wish you felt more confident handling and engaging with your dog? Confidence building isn't just for the dog, it's for you too. You and your dog are a team. Together, you will both learn how to communicate, decompress, and take things at a pace that is right for you BOTH.
These visits are just for your dog!
Great for when you have a long day at the office, life gets too busy, or when you just want to treat your dog to something just for them.
Each visit is personalized and may include walks, games, enrichment activities, or exploration—depending on your dog’s needs and preferences. Some dogs benefit from additional outlets for movement, mental stimulation, and engagement beyond what’s easy to provide during a busy day.
These visits are a great option if you’re short on time or want to ensure your dog is getting consistent, meaningful enrichment while you’re away.
Extended outings designed for exploration, movement, and decompression.
These sessions give your dog the opportunity to experience the world beyond their usual environment in a safe and supported way. Activities may include nature walks, hiking, and enrichment-based activities. Great for high energy dogs who need extra time to express their energy.
