The importance of fun

Dogs love to play — it strengthens your bond and keeps them mentally and physically healthy. Enriching games reduce boredom, lower stress, and can prevent unwanted behaviours by giving your dog appropriate outlets for natural drives.

Build an enrichment box

Toys are about more than just play, they allow your dog to do normal doggy behaviours in a safe way. Sniffing, Licking, Chewing, Chasing whatever your dog likes to do there is a toy for that.

I stock a small selection of dog toys build a pick and mix box for your puppy.
