Enrichment at Rachel’s Dog Club
At Rachel’s Dog Club, we believe dog daycare should be more than just a place for your pup to burn off energy – it should be a place where dogs learn, grow, and thrive.
That’s why enrichment is a core part of what we do. It’s not just about toys or treats, it’s about giving your dog the mental stimulation they need to stay happy, healthy, and confident.
What Is Enrichment?
Enrichment is the practice of providing dogs with activities that allow them to engage in natural behaviours such as sniffing, chewing, solving problems, and exploring new things. It’s about keeping their minds as active as their bodies.
At Rachel’s Dog Club, enrichment takes many forms:
• Puzzle toys and brain games
• Scent-based activities
• Confidence-building obstacle courses
• One-on-one training refreshers
• Interactive group play with purpose

Why We Prioritize Enrichment
1. Better behaviour
When dogs are mentally engaged, they’re less likely to act out from boredom. A tired mind means a calm, content dog – both at daycare and at home.
2. Supports All Dogs, Not Just the Energetic Ones
While some dogs love a good play, others prefer quieter, thoughtful activities. Enrichment lets every personality shine.
3. Boosts Confidence
Shy or nervous dogs benefit immensely from enrichment, helping them build trust, learn new skills, and feel safe in new environments.
4. Promotes Lifelong Learning
Dogs of all ages, especially seniors, benefit from staying mentally active. It keeps them sharp, curious, and connected to the world around them.
What Enrichment Looks Like at Rachel’s Dog Club
Every day at Rachel’s Dog Club includes a blend of physical activity, social play, and intentional enrichment time. We have a timetable of enrichment actitivies we work through every week to make every day different for our dogs and ensure they’re enjoying a variety of enrichment activities!
Our team is trained to choose the right enrichment for each dog’s age, personality, and play style.
Why Our Clients Love It
We often hear from our pet parents how much calmer, happier, and more balanced their dogs are after a day with us. It’s not just the exercise – it’s the mental stimulation and emotional care we provide.
Our mission at Rachel’s Dog Club is simple:
To create a daycare experience that feels like a second home and one that both mentally and physically engages the dog!
