At the award-winning Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, enrichment and socialisation are at the heart of what they do. It’s been proven that both elements are vital to a dog’s life and are contributing factors to owning a happy and healthy dog. From helping to reduce stress and anxiety, to strengthening bonds with humans and other dogs, all while preventing undesirable behaviours like barking and fear aggression and even extending your dog's life! Bruce’s Doggy Day Care plays an active role in enriching the lives of the dogs in their care, whilst nurturing social development within a safe, fun and loving environment.
A tired dog doesn’t only come from a good walk or long game of fetch! Like humans, dogs can be tired from mental work such as learning. Dog enrichment taps into a dog’s natural instincts and behaviours, creating mental stimulation and sparking their interests. Studies have shown that on average about 20 minutes of mental enrichment is equally as effective as an energy outlet as 60 minutes of walking. It also reduces unwanted behaviours in dogs caused by boredom, while building their confidence through learning and problem solving.
The four pillars of dog enrichment:
- Social Enrichment - promoting contact with other dogs and people.
- Nutritional Enrichment - encouraging natural foraging behaviours.
- Sensory Enrichment - stimulating their senses, across sight, sound, smell and touch.
- Mental & Physical Enrichment - everything from doggy agility to fetch, training to food puzzles.
Bruce’s proudly offers a comprehensive activity program that delivers across all of these enrichment pillars, every day. Whether it’s keeping your dog entertained through playtime, providing a cosy space for a restful midday snooze or socialising with friends, their dedicated Dog Carers will always go the extra mile to ensure that your dog has the very best experience while in their care.
When a dog joins the Bruce’s family; the size, temperament and age of that dog are carefully taken into consideration so that they can be matched with the right field and environment for them. For the more adventurous pooches there’s the ‘Wild Wood’ field, filled with natural structures to sniff and climbs. Or perhaps ‘Tiny Town’ would be more fitting for your pooch? An enrichment zone designed with our pint-sized pals in mind, with everything from climbing frames to paddling pools, but all made a little smaller!
