Canine Enrichment Outside the Kennel
ASPCA Professional recently posted an article espousing the benefits of time outside with dogs at the kennel. We’re proud to be highlighted in the article for the work we do here at Mackenzie’s.
Dogs just wanna have fun
Time outside the kennel, with and without human companions, offers some of the best opportunities for canine enrichment:
- The dogs get much needed exercise, which helps tire them out so that they are more relaxed in their kennels.
- Social dogs enjoy the company of other dogs.
- Dogs have the opportunity to exhibit natural behaviors, such as running, digging, following scents, and playing.
- Being outdoors stimulates all of the dogs’ keen senses, which is naturally satisfying to them.
