Description

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION Functional enrichment is far more than toys and treat-dispensing puzzles. It’s a cornerstone of behavioral wellness and a vital component of force-free training and behavior modification. In this engaging 60-minute session, we’ll explore how meaningful enrichment supports dogs in thriving, not just coping, in their homes and communities. Participants will learn how targeted enrichment meets species-specific and individual needs, reduces behavior problems, and brings purpose to a dog’s daily life. This presentation blends scientific insights with practical strategies, making it ideal for pet professionals and guardians alike. Learning Objectives 🐾 The 5 Enrichment Categories – Understand the foundational pillars of functional enrichment and how they support canine well-being. ⚠️ Unmet Needs & Problem Behavior – Examine the link between enrichment deficits and unwanted behaviors. 🏙️ Enrichment in Multi-Dog & Urban Homes – Navigate the challenges and creative solutions for complex home environments. 📊 Tracking Behavioral Impact – Learn simple, effective ways to monitor progress and ensure your enrichment strategies are working. Whether you're building enrichment plans for clients or enhancing your own dog's day-to-day life, this session will provide the tools and insights to make enrichment a behavioral must-have.
