​

Enrichment encompasses activities designed to engage a dog's cognitive faculties, physical well-being, and sensory experiences with the aim of enhancing their overall quality of life. These activities may include physical, mental, environmental or social stimuli.​ Activities such as utilizing enrichment toys or snuffle mats can stimulate dogs mentally and engage their natural instincts. Snuffle mats consist of layered fabric that conceals small food pieces, prompting dogs to utilize their sense of smell to locate the hidden treats. On the other hand, enrichment toys mimic "brain games," offering mental stimulation that can exhaust dogs more effectively than mere physical exercise.
