Title: Beyond Busy: Why the Quality of Dog Enrichment Matters More Than Quantity

Introduction
When it comes to dog enrichment, it’s easy to assume that more is better. More puzzle toys, more walks, more stimulation. But the truth is, the quality of your dog’s enrichment activities has a far greater impact on their behavior, mental health, and overall well-being than simply the number of things you throw their way.

Let’s break down what enrichment really means—and how to make sure you’re giving your dog experiences that truly meet their needs.

What Is Dog Enrichment?

Enrichment is any activity or experience that gives your dog an outlet for natural behaviors—like sniffing, chewing, digging, problem-solving, or social interaction. It’s not about entertainment. It’s about helping your dog feel fulfilled in body and mind.
