Burt’s kind of enrichment… but no snacks?! 😲

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], Burt and I have been at the beach for a week, and every morning on our walk I can’t help but geek out over how much non-food enrichment he gets here. Walking on the uneven sand, sniffing every crab 🦀, hearing the waves, feeling the cool water on his paws and legs (Burt is adamantly still NOT a swimmer!)… it’s all working his body and mind in the best ways. But you don’t need a beach to give your dog the same benefits! Here are my favorite non-food...

secret sauce 🍝

Question for you, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - Do you ever see those posts that brag, "This puzzle toy kept my dog busy for 2 HOURS!"? They make me cringe. Like so hard! Those folks are missing the whole point. There are two things I focus on when I'm creating enrichment content for my blog, courses or social media that make everything way more meaningful for you and your dog. First, I believe enrichment should be fun for both of you. It's not just something to keep your dog busy while...

salami, wheel of life and your pet biz

Ciao [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - I started a new Italian class last week. Our first lesson was about salami 😂 What does this have to do with your pet biz?! Hear me out! I did a mid-year check-in about my business and life to make sure I'm on track with my goals and priorities. In addition to goals about my blog, podcast and membership, I brainstormed my personal goals through the end of the year. One of them is to speak Italian with ease and to make new friends to speak Italian with....
