Is large off-leash play not the right fit for your dog?
Our Enrichment Program might be the perfect fit for you!
This carefully tailored program is crafted to stimulate a dog's mind, body, and senses, fostering positive behaviors and good manners. Through activities such as balance exercises, scent games, food puzzles, and small group socialization (when dogs are ready), along with many other stimulating experiences, we ensure each dog enjoys a balanced and engaging experience. We use food rewards to facilitate effective training sessions that boost your dog's cognitive abilities.
We structure the day into distinct sessions, each focusing on a specific activity. With morning, midday, and afternoon sessions, we incorporate rest and nap breaks between activities to prevent overstimulation. This approach ensures a balanced, enjoyable experience that keeps the dogs engaged and refreshed throughout the day.
Did you know?
Over 50% of dogs don’t thrive or enjoy large-group, off-leash daycare, which is why we created our enrichment program specifically for dogs who need a more tailored approach. This program goes far beyond traditional daycare playtime, offering a variety of activities designed to engage both the mind and body. By catering to their natural instincts, we promote each dog's overall well-being, ensuring they receive the mental and physical stimulation they need to thrive.
What does a day in the Enrichment Program look like?
Each dog begins the day with a warm-up exercise, practicing their "Place" command, as they await their turn on one of our Canine Treadmills.
Your pup will rotate through each component of P.A.W.S., with restful breaks in their dog den to recharge, ensuring they’re full of energy and ready for the next activity.

Meet & Greet
We’re excited to welcome new dogs and their families into our programs at Snouts! We believe wholeheartedly that there’s no such thing as a "bad breed," but we also understand that not every dog is suited for our programs. To ensure the safety and well-being of all our guests, each dog must complete a thorough evaluation.
During the Meet & Greet, we’ll have the opportunity to get to know your dog while simulating a typical day in our care. Your dog will spend the day with us, participating in each phase of the P.A.W.S. program to ensure they feel comfortable, remain non-aggressive, and have a positive, enriching experience throughout the day.
