Occupational enrichment
Activities like agility or trick training challenge dogs mentally and physically
Some dogs love to have jobs to do. By providing them with working activities that they genuinely love doing, we can utilise their natural instincts and abilities to reduce unwanted behaviours as well as keeping their minds and bodies healthy.
Mentally exercising your dog can be just as tiring and rewarding as the physical side of things, so why not teach your dog new tricks using reward-based training. Not only will they learn new skills, but it will also help improve your relationship with them and boost their confidence.
