Ahhh, it’s time to take down the Christmas tree and put away the fine china. The 2024 holiday season is in the books! You and your dog brought holiday cheer for all the good girls and boys this year. So, let’s contemplate what we want to accomplish in 2025. I am not talking about fitness or financial affairs (although those are important and probably covered in a different blog!) I am talking about your dog/owner’s wellness goals! How are you going to enrich your relationship with your canine? If this is a priority, read on amazing dog lovers, we have tons of fun and easy ways to live your best dog-owning life! Welcome to 2025, the Doggieworks Canine Enrichment Era!
Why Canine Enrichment? Is it all that dramatic?
Canine Enrichment is the single most important lifestyle choice a pet parent can make to promote a strong bond with their dog! It is a way of life…at least it should be. It provides dogs and owners with mental stimulation, physical activity, and emotional fulfillment. Sounds dramatic, huh? It’s kind of a big deal. Canine Enrichment can prevent boredom and reduce behavioral issues like excessive barking or chewing. It can provide opportunities for your dog to engage in mental stimulation games and exploration, which it would naturally experience in the wild. Canine enrichment makes for a happier, smarter, and more confident dog! Pet parents also benefit. Engaging in canine enrichment activities helps strengthen the bond between you and your dog, increasing your level of oxytocin, the love hormone, and promoting social and mental growth. Who doesn’t want that?
How do we Humans Benefit?
In addition to the pure joy of watching our pups run around our apartments looking for yummy hidden treats, canine enrichment fosters trust and companionship between humans and their furry friends. Engaging with our dogs helps us relieve stress and gives us a sense of accomplishment. “Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure.” (For more info read this informative article HERE!) Owning a pet also relieves feelings of loneliness, increases feelings of social support, and boosts your mood. A happy, healthier human!
Doggieworks’ Contribution to Dog/Owner Wellness: Our Year-Long Promise
This year, we’re focusing on enhancing your dog’s quality of life with a comprehensive Year of Canine Enrichment. From canine mental stimulation games to expert insights,
DoggieWorks is here to make 2025 fulfilling for you and your furry companion. Each month, we’ll focus on a specific aspect of enrichment, for example:
- January: “Mental Agility Month” with puzzles and training games.
- February: “Bonding Activities” to strengthen the dog-owner relationship.
- March: “Sensory Adventures” with new sights, sounds, and smells, and so much more…
These dog enrichment activities will be featured across all our social media platforms, and we’ll host daily enrichment exercises for our daycare and boarding guests. We will also host several enrichment events and teach you how to create DIY dog enrichment activities at home, using ordinary stuff you’ll find lying around the house.
