Why Enrichment Activities Matter for Your Dog.
Why Enrichment Activities Matter for Your Dog.
At Planet Pooch Pet Resort, we believe daycare is more than just playtime—it’s about creating opportunities for your dog to thrive mentally, physically, and emotionally. That’s where enrichment activities come in.
What Are Enrichment Activities?
Enrichment activities are structured games and exercises designed to keep your pup’s mind sharp and their body active. Think of them as brain games that help your dog learn, focus, and build confidence while still having fun.
Some of our client favorites include:
Puzzle Feeders & Snuffle Mats – Dogs use their noses to “hunt” for treats, stimulating natural instincts.
Agility Challenges – Small jumps, tunnels, and balance work that build coordination and confidence.
Scent Games – Dogs learn to follow their nose and find hidden treasures.
Why Dogs Benefit from Enrichment
Reduces Boredom & Anxiety – Mental stimulation is just as important as exercise. A busy brain helps prevent destructive habits at home.
Boosts Confidence – Trying new tasks and succeeding builds self-esteem in shy or nervous pups.
Strengthens the Human–Dog Bond – Many activities can be continued at home, giving you fresh ways to connect with your pup.
Supports Social Skills – Group enrichment encourages teamwork and polite play around other dogs.
Our Enrichment Program
At Planet Pooch, enrichment isn’t an add-on—it’s a vital part of your dog’s experience. For just $99, your pup can enjoy 6 weeks of guided scent enrichment alongside their regular daycare schedule. That’s six weeks of brain-boosting fun, confidence-building exercises, and tail-wagging adventures.
