Enrichment+ is an add-on to PLAY - the activities used in our programs target your dogs social, emotional, and physical wellness.
At Kathy Santo Dog Training, we believe enrichment should be tailored to the individual dog. While some dogs thrive in traditional group play, others feel more successful with structured learning, calmer activities, or independent exploration. That’s why we created additional enrichment pathways designed to meet dogs where they are emotionally, socially, and behaviorally.
Our Enrichment+ activities are designed to challenge dogs to think, problem solve, and stay active through brain games, challenging sensory work, and structured athletics and play.
In our Play setting, these enrichment activities offer 1-1 personal attention that help reinforce social manners (with dogs *and* humans), training skills, AND build even stronger relationships with our team!
Play Add-On
For the entire length of your dog’s day with us, our Enrichment+ team will provide playtime and enrichment activities based on your dog’s needs and goals. These can include Brain, Social, and/or Fitness based-games, designed to “Grow” your dog’s confidence, stamina, coordination, and enjoyment.
Grow is an add-on to your dogs Play stay. Each “Grow” day's play and enrichment will be chosen by your dog’s personal ‘coach’. Individual or group play will be customized by GROW team members.
In addition to Play, Grow dogs will participate in structured activities that allow them to use (or develop!) their instincts, skills, and physical abilities. Activities include:
An Enrichment+ add on is NOT intended to be a training session. Any requests for commands or behavioral issues should be booked as a “Train” day. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Front Desk team for help.
PLAY ADD-ON
Our Scent Space Studio is a calm, enrichment environment where dogs explore scents, textures, objects, and sensory experiences at their own pace.
This quiet, low-pressure experience encourages dogs to:
• Use their natural instincts
• Build confidence through exploration
• Decompress and self-regulate
• Engage their brain through scent work and curiosity
