April Enrichment Day
Past and Current FY Students Only!
April 1st, 2023 from 12 pm to 4 pm CT
At The Braxton, MS Facility
Our enrichment days are one of the perks of attending classes and programs with Faithfully Yours Dog Training! These days are only open to past or current FY students and are all about enriching you and your dog’s lives together.
Each enrichment day we provide different enrichment activities to help your dog spend excess energy, use their brain by playing fun games, and explore in an environment created by dog professionals with your dog’s enjoyment in mind!
On enrichment days, we provide time slots for you and your dog to come out to our 11-acre Braxton, MS farm for unique dog enrichment activities. Your time slot is your own private time slot and all items/toys are disinfected between each time slot.
Even if your dog has behavioral concerns like reactivity, they may join us for enrichment days.
The enrichment activities for enrichment days will vary based on the weather. If there is rain or it is too damp outside to safely allow running, we will move all the activities indoors. We try to provide several enrichment stations for you to pick from.
A staff member will be present to make sure you understand how to complete the enrichment activity and will stand by for any questions or concerns you may have, but enrichment days shouldn’t be used as private “training sessions” with staff members. These days are about you and your dog enjoying a fun dog-centric activity for mental and/or physical simulation. We are just there to make sure everything runs smoothly for you!
Activities possible to select from for April’s enrichment day (nice weather-dependent activities are marked):
Scent and dog puzzle enrichment room setup with scents of your choice and/or treats hidden for you
Easter egg hunt (inside or outside if weather allows)
Mini agility equipment access (some equipment is weather-dependent due to size)
Dog fitness equipment access (Klimbs with traction mats with various leg heights, balance pad, cavaletti, and Blue-9 Propels available)
Small ball pit access
Flirt poles and other toys provided
A single new trick taught to you and your dog (a list of reasonable tricks for your time slot will be provided for you to select from. Please keep in mind this option may take up your entire time slot time to achieve the trick, so only select it if you are highly interested. We can also give you a quick demo with your dog on how to teach it at home if desired, but your dog must be familiar and friendly with Trainer Lauren for this option.)
Guided leashed sniffaris around marked areas of the farm (weather-dependent)
Scented and flavored bubbles and bubble machine (weather-dependent)
Baby pool access in the fenced yard (weather-dependent)
Access to the fenced yard area for off-leash play with you (weather-dependent)
And of course, all the unique sights and smells the farm itself provides!
Pricing and Booking:
Below are the available time slot for April 1st from 12 pm to 4 pm CT, as we need time to disinfect surfaces and set up between slots.
Make sure you are prepared to leave on time and arrive on time.
All slots for thirty minutes in length to work through the enrichment activity provided. We will ask in advance what activities you are most interested in and try to provide those activities for your slot if the weather allows.
Only dogs we have worked with in the past can attend enrichment days, but you may bring any people your dog already knows and is friendly with that you want.
Only healthy, non-contagious dogs and people should attend enrichment days since most activities require good physical fitness.
Dogs will need proof of updated vaccines if we don’t have any on record for you that are current.
If your dog recently had surgery, has exercise restrictions/is on crate rest, has an injury or illness, has recent diarrhea, vomiting, or coughing without a known non-contagious cause, has intestinal worms, heartworms with exercise restriction, fleas, or ticks, or has a contagious skin condition, and/or has any other medical concerns that would be contagious or restrict your dog from safely doing the activities, please stay home.
Spots are $35 per 30-minute slot, which covers your treat costs, our staff’s time to supervise your session, and cleaning supplies.
