Dog Enrichment Ideas by Play Style

How to match enrichment ideas to dogs who like sniffing, chewing, chasing, solving or foraging.

For sniffers and foragers

Try scatter feeding, snuffle mats, find-it games and slower sniff walks. These activities let your dog use their nose at their own pace.

For chewers

Choose supervised chew toys, lick mats and calm settle activities. Match the product to your dog’s size and chewing style.

For chasers

Use short movement games with a clear start and finish. Keep sessions brief so excitement can settle again afterwards.

For problem-solvers

Puzzle toys and food-dispensing toys can be useful, but start easy. Increase the challenge only when your dog is confident.

Rotate, do not overload

Most dogs do not need lots of activities at once. Rotate a small set and always supervise dogs with new toys or feeding products.
