Dog Enrichment - it's becoming more and more popular by the day as people around the world are beginning to grasp the benefit of enrichment activities for their K9 companions.
Enrichment activities can be described as any activity that allows dogs to partake in natural behaviours, such as: sniffing, playing, shredding, chasing, and chewing.
