Create an Enrichment Garden for Your Pup

🌿 Enrichment Gardens: A Sensory Experience Right in Your Backyard

Corgi in a backyard enrichment garden

If you’re looking for a way to boost your dog’s mental stimulation and give them more meaningful outdoor time, creating a backyard enrichment garden is a fun and rewarding project. It doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated – just intentional! Whether you have a full yard, a patio, or even a balcony, you can craft a sensory space that taps into your dog’s natural curiosity and instincts.

Why Enrichment Gardens Work

Enrichment gardens are designed to engage your dog’s senses – especially their nose! Dogs experience the world through scent, texture, sound, and sight. By creating a space filled with natural smells, interesting surfaces, and interactive features, you’re giving your dog a place to explore, relax, and decompress.

Enrichment like this is especially helpful for:

• High-energy dogs who need a “job”

• Fearful or reactive dogs who benefit from calm solo time

• Puppies learning about the world

• Seniors who still enjoy sniffing and soft stimulation

🪴 What to Include in Your Enrichment Garden

Here are some easy, dog-friendly elements to get you started:

✅ Scented Herbs & Plants

Add safe, dog-friendly herbs that are interesting to sniff (and safe if nibbled):

• Lavender (calming)

• Rosemary

• Basil

• Thyme

• Sage

• Lemongrass
  Avoid toxic plants like azaleas, lilies, or foxglove – always double-check before planting.

✅ Tactile Zones

Create different textures underfoot:

• Mulch or bark chips

• Grass

• Smooth stones or pebbles

• A small sandbox (great for digging!)

• Water feature like a shallow kiddie pool

✅ Hide & Seek Features

Use:

• Small tunnels or lean-tos made from PVC or fabric

• DIY treat stations: hide kibble or treats in puzzle toys or under flowerpots

• Hanging snuffle toys or treat-dispensing ropes

✅ Shady Spots & Rest Areas

Dogs need to cool down and feel secure. Try:

• A raised cot or shaded dog bed

• A pop-up canopy or umbrella

• Low shrubs they can sniff or rest near

✅ Bonus Ideas

• Hang wind chimes or use pinwheels for visual interest

• Rotate scented toys or frozen Kongs

• Use essential oil-dabbed scent logs (only dog-safe oils, like chamomile or lavender, and always diluted!)

🔨 Tips for Success

• Start small – one corner of the yard is plenty!

• Supervise at first, especially with new plants and digging areas.

• Rotate elements to keep it novel.

• Make it part of your routine – a short “garden sniff session” can do wonders for behavior and emotional well-being.

🐾 A Calmer, Happier Dog – One Sniff at a Time

Enrichment doesn’t always mean adding more training – sometimes it’s about giving your dog space to be a dog. Sniffing, digging, foraging, and simply observing are all incredibly fulfilling. Your enrichment garden becomes a private little adventure zone that taps into their instincts and builds calm, content behavior over time.

When Rehoming Is the Right Thing to Do: A Guilt-Free Guide for Dog Parents

If you’re reading this, it means you care deeply about your dog – and that’s exactly why you’re considering a difficult decision.

Let’s be clear: rehoming isn’t a bad word. It doesn’t mean you’ve failed. In fact, it can be one of the most selfless choices a pet parent can make when circumstances change or a dog’s needs no longer align with what you can provide.

Rehoming is about prioritizing your dog’s well-being, not giving up. It’s an act of love, rooted in responsibility and compassion.

This guide is here to support you with clarity, kindness, and zero judgment – because making the right choice for your dog should never come with shame.

You're not alone, and your dog’s story isn’t over – it’s just turning a new page.

🐶 Blanket Burrito
Wrap treats or toys inside a blanket, folding it like a burrito. Let your dog sniff, dig, and unravel their way to the prize!

🐾 Tube Treasures
Stuff toilet paper rolls or paper towel tubes with treats, fold the ends, and let your pup tear them open to get to the goodies.

📦 101 Things to Do with a Box
Inspired by Karen Pryor, this game encourages creativity – give your dog a cardboard box and reward any interaction: sniffing, pawing, sitting in it – you name it!

🔍 Scavenger Hunt
Hide treats around a room and let your dog search for them using their nose. It’s a great way to build confidence and focus.

🧁 Muffin Tin Puzzle
Drop treats into a muffin tin and cover each cup with tennis balls or toys. Your dog must figure out how to remove the items to access the snacks.

Mental stimulation doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming – just a little creativity and a few household items can go a long way in keeping your pup happy and engaged!

Stop Guessing & Start Understanding: Why Your Dog Needs a Behavior Assessment

If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior challenges, you’re not alone. But trying to fix these issues without a Behavior Assessment is like a doctor prescribing treatment without an exam- it’s just guesswork! 🩺

At Modern Dog, we believe in understanding your pup, not just managing their behavior on the surface. A Behavior Assessment gives us the full picture of your dog’s history, triggers, and unique needs so we can build a training plan that actually works.

What’s Included in a Behavior Assessment?

Our assessments dive deep into:
✅ Your Dog’s History - Where they came from, early experiences, and daily life
✅ Behavior Triggers & Sensitivities - Identifying reactivity, resource guarding, and other challenges
✅ Health Factors - Medical or dietary concerns that may impact behavior
✅ Family & Environment - How your dog interacts with you, guests, and their surroundings

Why It’s So Important

With this knowledge, we create a personalized training plan that includes:
✔️ Immediate action steps to address key concerns
✔️ A risk assessment and prognosis to set realistic goals
✔️ Resources like enrichment ideas, equipment recommendations, and training tips

Instead of frustration and trial-and-error, you’ll gain clarity and confidence in helping your dog thrive!

Introducing Canine Counseling: Compassionate Guidance for Life’s Toughest Decisions

As dog guardians, we’re used to thinking of training as the go-to solution for every challenge. But sometimes, life throws us situations where training isn’t the answer. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, struggling with a difficult decision, or trying to create harmony in your home, these moments require more than obedience training. That’s why I’m excited to introduce Canine Counseling—a specialized service designed to help you and your dog through life’s most complex and emotional moments.

What is Canine Counseling?

Canine Counseling is not a traditional training session. It’s a unique offering that focuses on the bigger picture—helping you navigate significant life changes that affect your dog. Instead of working on commands and behaviors, we sit down and have a thoughtful discussion about the challenges you’re facing and how we can best support both you and your dog.

This service is led by MDT owner Kristen, Certified Behavior Consultant and Certified Family Dog Mediator. She is here to listen, understand, and provide expert advice tailored to your situation, helping you make informed, compassionate decisions that are in your dog’s best interest.

When is Canine Counseling the Right Fit?

There are several situations where Canine Counseling can provide clarity and support, especially when emotions run high or there are multiple factors to consider. Here are just a few examples of when counseling might be a better fit than hands-on training:

• Rehoming Considerations: If you're struggling with the possibility of rehoming your dog, counseling can help you weigh your options and make the best decision for your dog’s future.

• Euthanasia Decisions: Facing end-of-life choices for your dog is never easy. Counseling offers emotional support and guidance during this heart-wrenching time.

• Divorce and Custody: When families split up, deciding who keeps the dog can be complicated. We’ll work together to figure out the best arrangement for your dog’s well-being.

• Combining Households: Moving in with a partner or merging homes with one or more dogs? I’ll help you create a plan for a smooth transition and reduce stress for all your pets.

• Adding a New Dog: Introducing a new dog to your home? We’ll discuss how to prepare your current pets and family to ensure a peaceful and successful integration.

• Dog and Baby Concerns: Expecting a new baby? I can help you prepare your dog for the big changes ahead, creating a safe and happy environment for your growing family.

What to Expect During a Canine Counseling Session

During a counseling session, we’ll take the time to explore the emotional and logistical challenges you’re facing. Sessions typically last between 45 and 60 minutes and are designed to help you feel supported and empowered. You’ll leave with a clear plan or set of recommendations tailored to your dog’s specific needs and your family’s circumstances.

We won’t be focusing on obedience training or commands. Instead, the goal is to provide thoughtful, compassionate advice for dealing with complex issues where there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Why You May Need Counseling Over Training

Traditional dog training focuses on commands, behaviors, and hands-on practice, but life often requires a different kind of support. Canine Counseling is particularly helpful when:

• Your concerns go beyond behavior and touch on emotional, legal, or logistical issues

• You’re dealing with transitions that impact your entire family, including your dog

• You need an empathetic listener to help guide you through decisions that can’t be solved through training alone

Ready to Book a Canine Counseling Session?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a situation involving your dog and don’t know where to turn, Canine Counseling can provide the compassionate guidance you need. Whether you’re navigating a major life change or trying to make a tough decision, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

2. Quality Time Strengthen your connection with each dog through individual walks, engaging play, and quiet moments of bonding

3. Conflict Resolution Intervening in a fight improperly can lead to more injuries. Redirected aggression is not uncommon when two dogs clash, so be cautious and mindful when stepping in
