LIVE FROM THE RANCH

Creating Enrichment Opportunities: From Dogs to Dolphins

EPISODE 15: July 9, 2020

In this episode, Ken Ramirez was joined by Allie Bender and Emily Strong, authors of Canine Enrichment for the Real World. They talked about the importance of incorporating or creating goal-oriented, descriptive enrichment for your dog or other animals in your life, how best to structure, take data, and evaluate an enrichment plan, and how to get client buy-in. Ken also demonstrated an example of how he creates enrichment for the resident goats and alpacas at The Ranch.
