Is your dog constantly bouncing off the walls, even after long walks and training sessions?

You might be missing the one essential piece of the puzzle: true enrichment. In this episode, we bust myths about dog enrichment, explain why puzzle toys alone aren't enough, and explore how enrichment supports your dog’s regulation—especially in the winter months when walks are limited.

In this episode:

• Learn why over-exercise and obedience drills can backfire and how to avoid it.

• Discover DIY enrichment ideas you can do indoors—no expensive gear needed.

• Hear the powerful story of how Fitz went from a hyperactive maniac to a calm, regulated dog using scent work and trick training.

  
  

Press play now to learn how small, intentional enrichment changes can help your dog rest better, regulate faster, and finally feel fulfilled.
