If I could give every dog parent just one thing to transform their dog’s behavior, confidence, and daily joy—it would be enrichment games. Not perfect obedience. Not fancy gear. Enrichment is what gives dogs the mental stimulation they truly need to stay calm, focused, and fulfilled.
Most families overlook enrichment games, but they’re one of the fastest ways to improve your dog’s behavior and deepen your connection.
A New Way to Learn Enrichment Games (Coming Soon!)
Behind the scenes, I’ve been building a brand-new addition to the Happy Hounds Club:
a Games-Only Membership focused exclusively on providing easy, effective enrichment games for every dog.
Inside, you’ll find:
🐾 Simple enrichment games for every age and breed
🧠 Mental challenges that reduce barking, biting, and chaos
🎥 Quick, bite-sized video tutorials
📅 New enrichment games released every month
It’s designed for busy dog parents who want quick, fun ways to meet their dog’s mental needs—without scrolling the internet for ideas.
This isn’t launching publicly yet… but you’re getting an early peek.
Try This Enrichment Game Today: “Muffin Tin Madness”
Want to try enrichment games right now? Here’s an easy one we use every week in our workshops and training retreats.
How to Play This Enrichment Game
- Grab a muffin tin
- Place 3–5 small treats or pieces of kibble inside random cups
- Cover each cup with tennis balls or crumpled paper
- Cue your dog with “Find it!” and let them search
Why This Enrichment Game Works
This simple game taps into your dog’s natural foraging instincts. The problem-solving, sniffing, and searching all provide powerful mental stimulation—often more tiring than a long walk.
It’s excellent for:
- Rainy-day energy
- Hyperactive dogs
- Pre-guest calming
- Puppies building confidence
- Senior dogs needing low-impact enrichment
Want Early Access to Our Enrichment Games Membership?
If you’d love first access to the new Games-Only Membership (and possibly a founding-member bonus), keep an eye out—we’ll be announcing early enrollment soon.
Why Enrichment Games Matter So Much
The more we meet our dogs’ mental needs through enrichment games, the less we have to deal with unwanted behaviors like:
- Pulling
- Barking
- Jumping
- Chewing
- Overexcitement
- Reactivity
Enrichment gives dogs a productive outlet for natural instincts, builds confidence, lowers anxiety, and strengthens your bond.
And soon, incorporating enrichment games into your daily routine will be easier and more fun than ever.
