Enrichment Sessions in West Seattle
Add mental stimulation to your dog’s stay with our boarding enrichment sessions in West Seattle—designed to keep your pup engaged, calm, and happy during overnight visits.
A Smarter Stay for Every Pup
At DogCity West Seattle, we believe a tired dog is a happy dog—but not just from physical play. Mental enrichment is key to a healthy, well-rounded boarding experience. That’s why we offer enrichment sessions as an add-on to overnight boarding. These sessions are tailored to stimulate your dog’s mind, build confidence, and reduce stress through fun, interactive activities. Whether your pup loves puzzles, scent work, or gentle training games, enrichment helps them feel fulfilled and relaxed—even while you’re away.
What to Expect During a Boarding Enrichment Session
Each boarding enrichment session at DogCity is led by a trained team member and customized to your dog’s needs and personality. These sessions are conducted one-on-one or in quiet pairs (if your pup prefers a buddy) and focus on sensory stimulation, problem-solving, and confidence building.
We rotate through a variety of mentally engaging activities, such as:
-
Snuffle mats and scent tracking games
-
Interactive treat puzzles and feeders
-
Obedience play with commands like sit, stay, and find-it
-
Food hide-and-seek around the playroom
-
Lick mats for calming stimulation
All materials are sanitized between uses and selected based on your dog’s breed, energy level, and experience with enrichment tools.
If your dog is new to enrichment, we start slow and build confidence over time. If they’re a pro, we increase complexity to keep things challenging and fun.
Sessions typically last 15–20 minutes and are offered mid-day or late afternoon—timed to help your dog wind down before dinner and bedtime. These activities help reduce restlessness, ease separation anxiety, and create a more peaceful, satisfying boarding experience overall.
We also monitor and record your dog’s responses, noting which activities they enjoy most so we can personalize future sessions.
