Enrichment Sessions in West Seattle
Keep your dog’s brain sharp and tail wagging with our enrichment play sessions in West Seattle, designed to stimulate the mind and build calm, confident behavior.
Mental Stimulation That Matters
At DogCity West Seattle, we know dogs need more than just physical play—they need mental engagement, too. That’s why we offer enrichment sessions as part of our grooming, daycare, and boarding programs. These interactive activities challenge your dog’s senses, problem-solving skills, and curiosity. From snuffle mats and treat puzzles to scent games and obedience-based play, enrichment sessions reduce boredom, build confidence, and support emotional balance—especially for intelligent or anxious pups.
What to Expect in a Dog Enrichment Session
Each enrichment play session at DogCity is led by a trained staff member and customized to your dog’s size, age, breed, and energy level. Sessions are one-on-one or conducted in small, supervised groups depending on your dog’s comfort and social skills.
We start with an introduction to the enrichment space—a quiet, low-distraction room within our facility. Dogs are presented with a selection of interactive tools and games, including:
-
Snuffle mats that encourage scent tracking
-
Puzzle feeders that require pawing, nudging, or lifting to access treats
-
Lick mats for calming engagement
-
Obedience games like sit, stay, and find-it
-
Scent trails or food hide-and-seek games to activate their nose
Each session is paced according to your dog’s interest and attention span. For food-motivated dogs, puzzles with varying levels of difficulty are used to keep things interesting. For high-energy pups, we mix in movement-based activities to burn off extra steam while working their brain.
If your dog is shy, anxious, or easily overstimulated, enrichment provides a focused alternative to group play. It helps reduce stress, builds independence, and gives your pup a productive outlet in a calm environment. For social dogs, we may pair them with a like-minded playmate for joint games that encourage teamwork and social learning.
Enrichment sessions last around 15–20 minutes and can be added to any daycare or boarding visit. Over time, we tailor each session to what your dog enjoys most—whether it’s puzzles, sniffing games, or practicing basic commands with a trainer.
Our goal? A calm, content dog who goes home mentally fulfilled and better balanced.
