Dog Enrichment Activities
Schedule a balance of learning and fun in your pup's days at Town House! These activities can be added to your dog's daycare or overnight stays and will be handled by our staff.
Monday, November 9 — Mighty Monday Challenge: Tunnel & Target
Pups will weave and dash through tunnels before finishing with a picture-perfect pose on the Klimb platform. It's a fun combination of movement, coordination, and focus!
The Why: Moving through tunnels and weaving challenges helps pups develop coordination, spatial awareness, and confidence. Finishing with a controlled platform pose encourages them to transition from active movement to calm focus while reinforcing listening skills and body awareness.
Tuesday, November 10 — Training Tuesday: Drop It Express
Drop it like it's hot! We're turning object swapping into a training game, teaching pups to willingly trade items for tasty rewards while practicing an important everyday skill.
The Why: Teaching dogs to release objects willingly builds cooperation, impulse control, and trust. It's also an important safety skill that can help prevent pups from swallowing something harmful or turning everyday objects into a game of keep-away.
Wednesday, November 11 — Agility Enrichment: Ultimate Agility Course
Back by popular demand! Our Ultimate Agility Course returns with a variety of obstacles and activities designed to keep pups moving, thinking, and having a blast as they navigate each new challenge.
The Why: Navigating different obstacles helps improve coordination, balance, and body awareness while encouraging focus and problem-solving. Revisiting familiar challenges also gives pups opportunities to build on their skills and gain confidence with each successful attempt.
Thursday, November 12 — Agility Enrichment: Ultimate Agility Course
The agility adventure continues! Pups will work their way through a variety of obstacles, putting their coordination, balance, and problem-solving skills to the test.
The Why: Repeating agility challenges gives pups opportunities to build on their skills and grow more comfortable with different movements and obstacles. Each successful attempt helps reinforce confidence, focus, and body awareness while providing valuable physical and mental enrichment.
Friday, November 13 — Gym Class Friday: Turkey Trot
Gobble, gobble, run and wobble! Pups will take on our festive Turkey Trot, following a walk-and-jog course filled with pumpkin obstacles as we cheer them on toward the finish line.
The Why: Our Turkey Trot combines physical exercise with mental engagement as pups navigate obstacles, adjust their movements, and follow their handlers through the course. It's a festive way to encourage coordination, body awareness, and confidence while keeping those tails wagging!
Other daily add-ons:
- Frozen Peanut Butter Kong
