The Dog Den and The Puppy Den
Enrichment Program
Welcome to our Enrichment Program!
What is enrichment?
Enrichment can be simply summed up as meeting the animal’s needs - physical, mental, and emotional.
Our standard daycare program addresses some areas of enrichment. And our enrichment program will help to supplement daycare with additional opportunities to help meet the needs of each of our dogs - that is customized to each specific dog!

Our monthly enrichment program will consist of a different enrichment activity each week. We will be incorporating food enrichment, sensory enrichment, skill-building enrichment, and physical enrichment activities each month.
Tactile enrichment: From working on balance and strength, to new surfaces, strange objects, and fun obstacle courses this monthly enrichment activity is all about confidence building and body awareness!
Sensory enrichment: Sniffing out a scent, digging in a sandbox, finding hidden snacks. Your dog will be using their different senses each month!
Skill building enrichment: A new trick each month! We will be advancing the trick as your dog gets better and better. Learn something new or expand on something they may know already!
Physical enrichment: One on One time! Does your dog love tug? Pool time? Fetch? Snuggles? This week’s activity will be all about one-on-one time tailored to your dog’s favorite activities!
Food Enrichment (Licki mats, Kong's, etc.) will now be offered at all times for a price of just $10. So if you forget their lunch, want to give them an extra brain activity, or are working on settling in a crate we can add this activity on at any time! Let us know at our front door at drop off, give us a call, or send us an email to Enrichment@thedogden.com to add this on to your pup's day with us!
