Why Enrichment?

A lack of socialization and movement in a day can lead to boredom, separation anxiety and destructive behavior for dogs. 

Paws Play Zone offers enrichment activities and an exercise center allowing dogs to engage in natural behaviors and increase daily activity.  Exercise helps pets live longer, healthier lives. 

Enrichment aids in brain development through the use of stimulating activities and toys and helps satisfy both the physical and psychological needs and gives them opportunity to make choices.  Benefits include:

  • Building stronger bonds through interactive play

  • Feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction

  • Reducing boredom-related behavior (barking, chewing, howling, chasing the cat…)

  • Stimulating and assisting in brain growth

  • Increasing intelligence and problem-solving skills

  • Allowing dogs to be dogs and do dog things

  • Building confidence and social skills

  • Increasing focus and concentration
