Is Providing Treats, Non Tricks, For Residents
In lite of the Halloween season, is ane time again providing around not-so-spooky enrichment for its shelter residents based on this ghoulish holiday. Our eerily creative Animal Enrichment Specialist, Suzanne Denk, cooked upward a “Halloween Enriched Environment Trail” for our shelter dogs this by weekend!
The showtime halt on the trail was a puddle of leaves, alongside hidden tasty treats, requiring dogs to operate their noses to respect them. Another odor game included sealed boxes alongside holes to tempt canine noses. Fresh hay, herbs in addition to apple tree cinnamon air fresheners were hidden within the boxes.
Spooky hanging obstacles (pool noodles) were used every bit a confidence builder for our shyer shelter residents (you tin flame too stick treats inwards the hollow cease of the puddle noodle to entice shy dogs to approach).
Many made a quick halt at the festive Jack-o-Lantern duck pond in addition to and then it was on to the terminal halt of the trail – The Magic Potion Cheese Tree. Treats were stuck to the tree alongside a fleck of cheese for the domestic dog to sniff out in addition to find.
The destination of enrichment is to supply a daily surround that is varied in addition to stimulating in addition to to let the animals to engage inwards natural behaviors. Enrichment activities that engage all of the animals’ senses are beneficial to their physical in addition to behavioral health. The activities supply opportunities to intend in addition to to explore infinite – thence providing a feel of command to shelter animals. More importantly, stimulating their brains reduces stress in addition to is fun!
