In this episode, we dive into the growing trend of canine enrichment and ask the big question: Are we overdoing it? From puzzle toys to scent work, dog owners are always looking for ways to keep their pets stimulated and engaged. But is there such a thing as too much enrichment? We'll explore the benefits of mental and physical stimulation for dogs, as well as potential downsides of constantly filling their time. Join us as we discuss the balance between providing enrichment and allowing dogs to simply be dogs.
