Signature Enrichment Experiences

 
Our Personalized Play Sessions combine luxury care with evidence-based enrichment. Each session is intentionally designed around your dog’s individual temperament, learning style, and optimal arousal level, key factors shown to support balanced behavior and emotional well-being.

Using structured, enrichment-focused activities, we help your dog build confidence, practice healthy social skills, and experience rewarding mental stimulation. Whether your pup thrives with dynamic movement or prefers calmer, relationship-based engagement, every moment is curated to meet their behavioral needs.

The result? A scientifically informed, highly personalized play experience that keeps your dog active, fulfilled, and truly thriving throughout their stay.

Give your pup a world of discovery! Our Sensory Enrichment sessions use fun, interactive games and exclusive time in our Scent Space to spark curiosity and stimulate all your dog’s senses. With new smells to sniff, textures to explore, and sounds to investigate, your dog stays mentally sharp, happily engaged, and excited for every new adventure.

From scent-driven challenges to tactile exploration, each experience is thoughtfully designed to build confidence, reduce stress, and create pure tail-wagging joy.

Give your pup the sweetest, most comforting end to their day. Our Bedtime Stories enrichment provides intentional one-on-one attention designed to support emotional regulation and a calm nighttime routine. Your dog enjoys gentle petting, soothing voice tones, and a personalized bedtime story read just for them creating a secure, nurturing environment backed by stress-relief science.

This quiet, connection-focused session helps lower arousal levels, ease separation-related anxiety, and promote deeper, more restful sleep. Thoughtfully crafted to bring comfort, structure, and serenity, Bedtime Stories is the perfect way to help your pup unwind, feel safe, and drift off peacefully at the end of a full and happy day.

Give your dog a delicious way to learn, think, and stay engaged. Our Nutritional Enrichment sessions combine taste, texture, and problem-solving to create a calming, brain-boosting experience. Using puzzle feeders, lick mats, frozen treats, and peanut butter stuffed KONGs, we activate natural foraging instincts and support healthy cognitive development.

These thoughtfully curated food-based activities slow down eating, reduce stress, and channel your dog’s mental energy into soothing, purposeful work. Each session is designed to enrich the senses, build emotional regulation, and provide a deeply satisfying outlet that leaves your pup relaxed, fulfilled, and happily focused throughout their stay.
