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 2 — Mighty Monday Challenge: Agility Arena
Pups will put their energy and focus to work with an exciting combination of sit-stays and high-energy hurdle jumps. It's a fun challenge that brings training and agility together!
The Why: Combining high-energy movement with controlled sit-stays helps pups practice transitioning from excitement to calm focus. Hurdle jumps also encourage coordination, body awareness, and confidence, while reinforcing listening skills and impulse control.
Tuesday, November 3 — Training Tuesday: Coffee Shop Sidekick
We're practicing good manners for pups on the go! Dogs will work on sit and stay while learning to maintain their focus around distractions, building skills for outings to dog-friendly cafés and other public places.
The Why: Practicing familiar commands around distractions helps dogs develop patience, focus, and self-control. Learning to settle and respond to their handler in new environments can make everyday outings more comfortable and enjoyable for both pups and their people.
Wednesday, November 4 — Agility Enrichment: Ultimate Agility Course
Pups will take on a challenging agility course featuring a variety of obstacles and activities designed to keep them moving, thinking, and having fun!
The Why: Navigating different obstacles challenges pups both physically and mentally, helping improve coordination, balance, and body awareness. Moving between activities also encourages focus, problem-solving, and confidence as dogs tackle new challenges.
Thursday, November 5 — Agility Enrichment: Ultimate Agility Course Continues!
The agility fun 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 6 — Gym Class Friday: NYC Marathon Challenge!
On your mark, get set, WAG! Pups will sport runner bandanas as they tackle our five-borough agility sprint, complete with bridge ramp climbs, cone weaves, tunnel dashes, and a ribbon-crossing photo finish at the Central Park Finish Line!
The Why: Our marathon-inspired course combines a variety of movements that challenge balance, coordination, and endurance. Navigating ramps, cones, and tunnels also encourages problem-solving, confidence, and mental engagement. Every pup gets a chance to shine as they cross the finish line!
