Enrichment Toys

1. Mental Stimulation

  • Prevents Boredom: Toys like puzzle feeders or snuffle mats keep dogs engaged and entertained, reducing destructive behaviours.

  • Sharpens Problem-Solving Skills: Toys that require them to figure out how to get a treat promote cognitive development.

2. Physical Activity

  • Toys like treat-dispensing balls encourage movement, keeping your dog active and healthy.

  • Chew toys strengthen jaw muscles and maintain dental health.

3. Anxiety Reduction

  • Enrichment toys can distract dogs from stressful situations like being left alone or hearing loud noises.

4. Natural Instincts

  • Toys that mimic prey, such as those that squeak or move unpredictably, satisfy hunting and chewing instincts.

  • Food-dispensing toys tap into their scavenging behaviour.

5. Training and Bonding

  • Interactive toys can be used during training sessions to reinforce positive behaviours.

  • Playing with your dog using these toys strengthens your bond.
