How to play
1. Pick a card
The games are divided into categories so you can select a key area to work on, as and when needed.
Or for variety, shuffle the deck and choose at random to keep it fresh!
Tip: Pick a card whenever you put the kettle on. This way you can play a game in the kitchen for a couple of minutes while you are waiting for the kettle to boil and then have a nice sit-down and a cup of tea while your dog snoozes peacefully!
2. Follow the instructions
Play the game for 3-5 minutes (enrichment activities can happily occupy your dog for longer).
DIY enrichment activities will involve utilising household items such as old towels, cardboard boxes, egg cartons etc.
3. Relax
Sleep is so important for calmness. Ensure your dog gets undisturbed sleep between walks, training and games to solidify any learning decompress and gain maximum benefit from the sessions.
2-5 games or activities over the course of the day are typically sufficient to add moments of fun, interest and engagement.


Have Fun :)
