Keep Your Pup Happy, Engaged, and Tail-Waggingly Entertained!
At Pawliday Inn, we know a happy dog is a mentally and physically stimulated dog. Just like humans, dogs need more than food and sleep — they crave fun, engagement, and a bit of adventure! Enrichment activities help reduce boredom, improve behavior, and boost your dog’s overall well-being.
Here are some fun and easy enrichment ideas to keep your pup busy and buzzing with joy — both at home and during their stay at Pawliday Inn!
1. Puzzle Toys & Treat Dispensers
Keep their brain working with puzzle feeders and treat-dispensing toys. These challenge their minds and reward their efforts — a win-win!
Try this at home: Stuff a Kong with peanut butter and freeze it — perfect for hot days and long-lasting fun!
2. Sniff & Seek Games
Dogs love to use their noses! Hide treats around the house or in a snuffle mat to encourage natural foraging instincts.
Pro Tip: Use their kibble for meal time scavenger hunts to turn dinner into a game!
3. Agility Courses
Set up a mini obstacle course with tunnels, weave poles, and jumps. It’s great exercise and a fantastic bonding activity.
No equipment? Use cushions, chairs, or broomsticks for a DIY version in your living room.
4. Doggy Playdates
Social interaction is essential! Arrange playdates with other dogs or bring them to our daycare at Pawliday Inn, where supervised group play keeps tails wagging all day.
5. Swimming Sessions
Hydrotherapy or just splashing around — swimming is a low-impact, high-fun activity! Our dog pool is the perfect place to cool off and stay fit.
6. Interactive Fetch or Tug Games
Toss a ball or rope toy and let the zoomies begin! Great for burning energy and boosting your dog’s confidence.
7. Soothing Sounds or TV Time
Leave on dog-friendly music or nature sounds while you’re away. Some dogs also enjoy watching pet channels on TV — it helps reduce separation anxiety.
8. Training as Enrichment
Teach your pup new tricks or practice commands they already know. It keeps them mentally sharp and strengthens your bond.
Bonus: Reward-based training is enrichment and behavior improvement in one!
9. Frozen Treats & Chews
Enrichment can be tasty too! Frozen fruit chunks, dog-safe popsicles, or chew treats offer stimulation and calm.
10. Spa Day for the Senses
Grooming isn’t just about looks — brushing, massages, and spa time help dogs relax and feel good. Treat your dog to a day at Pawliday Inn’s pet spa!
