Enrichment Days
Does your dog need to get out of the house? Do they need a job to do? Is daycare too much stimulation for your pup, or do they just not enjoy playing with other dogs?
Enrichment Days are the perfect way to give your dog the mental & physical enrichment they crave! This is our during-the-day-care option for pets who aren’t the right fit for Daycare With A Difference or who just need a bit more mental stimulation.
If you’re interested in being a part of our Beta phase, our General Manager, Avery, will assist you.
Requirements & Recommendations
Proof of a current rabies vaccine is required for all dogs, unless medically exempt. Bordetella & Distemper vaccines as well as flea & tick prevention are recommended as dogs will spend plenty of time outside.
Both altered & unaltered dogs are welcome. Enrichment days are not intended for puppies younger than 16 weeks.
What's Included
- (3) 20-Minute Sessions of Your Choice: Each dog will enjoy a multitude of enrichment session options, from reinforcing commands to playtime with a staff member!
- Cozy Canine Room: Between sessions, pups will relax by lounging in their own 3’ x 4’ room or 48” crate with a water bucket, & any comfy touches you’d like to bring from home.
- Report Card: Enrichment dogs will get a report card describing their day’s activities FREE with each visit!
- …& More! Enrichment sessions are customizable to each dog’s specific needs!
Please don't hesitate to ask if there are any activities your dog might enjoy or any specific behaviors you would like us to work on.
What are the benefits of Enrichment Days?
Dogs need a minimum of 20 minutes of enrichment a day in order to maintain their physical & mental health. Dogs who are not getting their enrichment needs met often resort to inappropriate behaviors. Enrichment Days are designed to not just meet, but exceed, your dog’s enrichment needs so you can check off that item on your busy to-do list. Dogs whose enrichment needs are met are happier, calmer, more well-adjusted & open to new experiences, & often show a reduction in undesirable behaviors.

Enrichment days are available Monday-Friday every week, not including holidays.
- Drop-off window: 6:30 am-9:30 am
