Canine 'Enrichment' a new buzz word.

During Lockdown, many of us have had extra time to spend with our dogs, at home, and on our daily walks. Thankfully, the sun has been shining meaning we can at least get out. I have recently been thinking about 'Canine Enrichment', watching YouTube videos, a Dog Training College short course by Toni Shelbourne, and reading up about it.
Simply put, Enrichment is 'seeking to improve our dog's well-being, both physically, emotionally, and mentally, through different means.
The different types of Enrichment can be:
Environmental enrichment -platforms, mounds tunnels, plants, sandpit, surfaces, on dog walks allow the dog to sniff out the route!
Manipulative or investigatory enrichment hidden treats, in a box or a game, with the dog using his paws or mouth to get them out. (Nina Ottosson games)
Food based enrichment – stuffed Kongs, Snuffle mats, Lickie mats, baking tray balls and treats, scatter feed.
Cognitive enrichment – working puzzles out, problem solving. training, learning new skills, tricks.
Sensory enrichment - eyes, nose, ears tongue, touch - sniffing herbs, different sounds, textures, surfaces, tastes, scent work.
Social enrichment  - meeting other dogs or even different animal species.
Toni coins the phrase 'Functional Enrichment', meaning enrichment to improve the dog's health, decrease stress, hyper arousal, improve muscle tone, balance, body awareness, improve impulse control, co-ordination, boost confidence and teach calming postures to enable relaxation, via 'Tellington T Touch' and 'Real Dog Yoga' specifically. 'Real Dog Yoga' is based on the principles of Yoga and science based, is not 'Doga' which is just putting your dog in funny positions  :)

Our dogs deserve to live a fulfilled and varied life, especially now, just like us!
So, I would love to hear what amazing enrichment your dog has experienced.!
