In the world of dogs, there is now more awareness than ever of the need to provide enrichment, especially in shelters. But what exactly is enrichment? The concept is pretty straightforward: learn what your dog’s needs are, and then structure an environment and routine that allows the dog to engage in behaviors they find enriching. To truly enrich your dog’s life, you should offer them opportunities to engage in natural or instinctual behaviors. Aside from the limitations we have to place on a dog in today’s modern, busy world, the biggest constraint to enriching your dog’s life is your imagination!
What the experts say about Canine Enrichment:
Don’t let the word “enrichment” in the title fool you into thinking that the scope of this book is too narrow or not something you will find valuable. It focuses comprehensively on meeting your dog’s needs and is written in a holistic, science-based, practical, straightforward, and easy-to-understand way. I love this book!
Ken Ramirez, author of Animal Training: Successful Animal Management Through Positive Reinforcement
Canine Enrichment is a deep dive into what dogs really need and how we can provide it. It’s a great book for dog lovers who want to go beyond the standard superficialities of “dogs need exercise.” Just the chapter on agency is worth the price of the book!

The scope of this book is ambitious and the authors deliver, navigating the subject of enrichment with depth and relevance. Caregivers will gain critically important perspectives and practical information to improve the lives of their animals.

Wish we had bought this last year so we would be further down the track to make our dog's life better. She suffers every day from OCD behaviours and is very anxious.

Must have!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2021Verified Purchase
After owning and training dogs for over 20 years and spending most of that time devouring all the best science based information I can find, I am rarely utterly floored by books intended for dog owners who generally are not hardcore training geeks. This book is a wonderful exception to this! Enrichment has been in my repertoire for a long time and I have collected ideas and information on it from the perspective of dogs but also how it is used in bettering the quality of life of zoo animals. This book, however, lays out such a comprehensive view of enrichment and meeting our dogs needs that it is sure to have a significant effect on how I approach keeping my 20+ dogs happy and entertained. There are few books I consider "must have" or even "must read" for every dog owner but this is certainly one of them!

Must read for everyone who owns or knows a dog!
Reviewed in the United States on 11 November 2019Verified Purchase
So many ignorant owners out there - including me! Your dog needs to be engaged, not just let out in the backyard on a leash. Entice her sense of smell, hearing, taste, sight, etc. Dogs get bored and chew up things. They miss you - even when you're just watching TV. But there's so much more you can do for them and they deserve it. Look at all they put up from you and yet they still love you to death! Dogs are the absolute best, but they get anxious, nervous, stressed and can feel unfulfilled. This book tells you what to do to return the love to your very best friend. Take the time to follow some of the tips and you'll have a happier dog - if you can even imagine such a thing! Dogs rock and we don't deserve them. This book will help you bond more closely and feel better about yourself for doing so. And please, if you see a dog tied up all day with nothing to do, or you know of a dog who is being abused or mistreated or left out in the cold - PLEASE call your local Humane Society and get that dog some help. Don't be afraid - calls are anonymous and you will be doing the right thing.
