Enrichment That Helps Dogs Feel
Confident, Calm, and Fulfilled
Purposeful enrichment for daycare and boarding dogs
Purposeful enrichment that supports calm, confidence, and well-being.
Dogs come in excited and go home fulfilled. You can feel the difference.
Why Enrichment Matters
Enrichment is not about keeping dogs busy. It is about helping dogs feel confident, comfortable, and fulfilled in a structured environment.
When dogs have purposeful outlets for sniffing, exploring, problem-solving, and movement, they tend to settle more easily and feel less stressed. Many parents notice the difference at home too. Dogs come home relaxed, content, and tired in a healthy way.
At Leader of the Pack, enrichment is always matched to the dog. Some dogs thrive with activities that build focus and confidence. Others do best with calmer enrichment that supports comfort and emotional safety. Either way, the goal stays the same: Play With Purpose that supports well-being, not overstimulation.
If you ever wonder what your dog would benefit from most, our team will help guide the plan based on your dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort.
Enrichment at Leader of the Pack
Group Enrichment
Group enrichment is woven into our daycare program and happens throughout the day with your dog’s daycare group. Activities are guided by our team and tailored to the dogs in the group, supporting social comfort, engagement, and positive group experiences.
One on One Enrichment
One on one enrichment is a focused, individual session with one dog and one staff member, lasting about 15 minutes. These sessions can be added to any daycare or boarding stay and include daily standard activities or themed enrichment, offered Monday through Friday. Spots are limited so we can keep each experience calm and high-quality.
This Month’s Enrichment Calendar
Each month, we introduce a rotating set of themed enrichment activities alongside the daily enrichment dogs already receive. These experiences are thoughtfully designed to support curiosity, build confidence, and encourage calm, purposeful engagement throughout the winter months.
