Sensory Experience Activities 
CPD certificate course

Environmental enrichment is a term that can be used to describe how the environment of captive animals can be improved to benefit them. In many ways, our companion dogs have become captive animals.

Very often, when we think of enrichment, we immediately think of interactive food toys, and we are often encouraged to "ditch the bowl" and feed meals using puzzle feeders. But enrichment is not just about using food. 

​

Enrichment activities are amazing for dogs. When used correctly, they can boost optimism, confidence, and reduce stress. However, it's important to be cautious. We can't assume that the items they love during enrichment will automatically make other scary activities better. In fact, if we're not careful, we could accidentally create negative associations. So let's use enrichment wisely and improve the lives of dogs.

Enrichment exercises are only enriching if the dog deems them to be so. So how can we know whether the enrichment is enriching?

This course will appeal to professionals already working with dogs or thinking about working with dogs in various capacities and also to dog guardians wanting to use sensory experience activities with their own dogs.
