Dog Enrichment Ideas & Activities

A tired dog is usually a mentally tired dog. Enrichment activities put your dog's nose and brain to work, and ten minutes of sniffing and problem-solving can settle a dog more than a long walk. The best part: most enrichment costs nothing, because it's built from things like towels, muffin tins, and cardboard boxes you already own.

This collection gathers our favorite games, DIY puzzles, and activity setups, plus food-based enrichment that pairs perfectly with the treat recipes across this site. Start easy so your dog wins quickly, then build up the challenge as they get the hang of it.
