Time to Stop and Smell the Roses (or, An Excuse to Tell You What’s in My Treat Pouch)
A monocular has been such a lovely addition to our walks that I wanted to share… which also made me think about what else is in my treat pouch, making my life better. So here’s the list...
Interview with Andrea Viveiros on Enrichment
This month it is my pleasure to introduce you to Andrea Viveiros, KPA CTP, FFCP owner of Connect the Dogs. Andrea is a truly stellar dog trainer and behavior professional who I first met through Ran. What always strikes me about Andrea is her endless enthusiasm for all things dog behavior! She has a wonderful way of making dog behavior and, in the case of our interview today, enrichment accessible and connecting it to the bigger picture of dog welfare. Enrichment is a critical concept in how we care for dogs and something that we always consider here at DBI. I came out of our conversation with tons of ideas both for DBI clients and my own pup Kerby. I know you are going to love it!
The Dogby Discovery Kit Review
Given the importance of enrichment, Ran and I were delighted when the creator of the Dogby Discovery Kits offered to send us each a free box in exchange for an honest review. This was particularly fun because as you may know, Ran’s dog Beacon and my dog Kerby, though fans of lots of the same things (e.g., chasing woodland creatures, peanut butter, the great outdoors) are very different dogs, and we were curious about how they would each respond to the items in the enrichment box we were sent.
