Turn mealtime into a mental workout! Instead of using a standard bowl, I scatter your dog's regular kibble across the grass in the yard for them to hunt down. Sniffing and foraging through the grass taps into natural canine instincts, providing excellent mental enrichment that lowers stress and helps them decompress.
Put your dog's nose to work out in the fresh air! I set up structured seeking games out in the yard, hiding high-value, house-made dehydrated treats for your dog to track down. Whether we are utilizing natural hiding spots or playing a focused two-box search game to encourage them to use their nose rather than visual targeting, this activity is incredibly mentally fulfilling. Sniffing and problem-solving outside builds confidence and leaves dogs happily exhausted and ready to relax.
Give your dog some extra one-on-one fun! Whether your dog loves an intense game of fetch, playing tug, or just wants some extra time to run around and be goofy in the yard, this session is tailored entirely to their favorite ways to play. Unstructured playtime is a fantastic way to burn off extra physical energy, get some dedicated human attention, and ensure they sleep soundly in their room afterward.
Give your dog a fun mental workout during mealtime! Instead of a standard bowl, I load your dog's regular meals or high-value treats into an interactive puzzle board. This requires them to slide, lift, or paw at different compartments to reveal their food. Problem-solving is a fantastic way to slow down fast eaters, bust kennel boredom, and tire out their brain so they can relax happily during their stay.
Perfect for dogs needing extra behavioral support or learning new skills during their stay. This extended 60-minute session allows us to dive deep into behavioral shaping, counter-conditioning, or working on specific training goals. I use entirely force-free methods and build in plenty of decompression breaks to ensure your dog stays motivated, happy, and learning at a pace that keeps their stress low.
Keep your dog's skills sharp while you're away! During this 30-minute one-on-one session, we can brush up on basic manners like loose-leash walking, recall, or settling on a mat. Using strictly force-free, reward-based methods, this focused session provides an excellent mental workout that leaves your dog feeling engaged and fulfilled.
Pup-Safe Dairy-Free "Ice Cream" Treat your dog to a refreshing, hypoallergenic cool-down during their stay! I make this custom treat from scratch using a simple, dairy-free recipe that is gentle on sensitive stomachs. It’s the perfect high-value reward to help your dog decompress and relax in their kennel.
Ingredients: 100% Pure Pumpkin, Ripe Banana, Unsweetened Coconut Milk. (Zero dairy, peanuts, wheat, or artificial sweeteners).
Give your dog a change of scenery! I will take your dog on a leashed walk outside the yard to explore new sights and smells. I focus on a relaxed, "sniffari" pace, letting them stop and sniff as much as they want. This kind of slow, sensory exploration is one of the best ways to provide mental enrichment, lower stress, and give them a break from the standard boarding environment.
Treat your dog to a fun, high-energy game of chase! I use a flirt pole—think of a giant cat wand for dogs—to safely burn off physical energy in the yard. It’s a fantastic way to satisfy their natural chasing instincts while practicing positive, force-free impulse control and "drop it" skills.
Keep your dog happily occupied with a long-lasting frozen Toppl! I stuff these durable puzzle toys with a tummy-friendly blend of your dog's regular meals and pure pumpkin, then freeze them solid. Working through the frozen puzzle provides a deeply satisfying mental challenge, and the extended chewing naturally helps your dog wind down and relax in their room.
Let your dog safely tap into their natural instincts! I pack clean, tape-free cardboard boxes with crumpled paper and hide high-value treats—like my homemade dehydrated organ meats—inside for them to find. Tearing, sniffing, and foraging is a highly satisfying way for dogs to burn mental energy, relieve stress, and happily decompress during their stay.
Help your dog settle in with a custom-prepped, frozen Lickimat. I spread a soothing, hypoallergenic blend across a textured mat and freeze it to extend the fun. Licking naturally releases calming endorphins, making this the perfect low-stress enrichment activity for kennel decompression.
Ingredients: 100% Pure Pumpkin and Unsweetened Applesauce. (Dairy-free, wheat-free, peanut-free)
