Simple and Fun DIY Enrichment Boxes for Dogs
Kaylin Haugen
Don’t put your cardboard straight into the recycling bin–let’s make an enrichment box for your dog! Here’s how:
Did you know that shredding, chewing, and foraging are natural behaviors for dogs? Activities like this are the perfect outlet to meet your dog’s needs, that is as long as they're staying away from your shoe closet.
You can provide your pup with the perfect outlet for their somewhat destructive instincts by creating your own enrichment box for dogs.
Of course, you should supervise your dog while they enjoy their enrichment box, and if you know your dog readily consumes paper products, this may not be the game for them.
Otherwise, follow the steps below for a simple-to-make and super fun-to-watch enrichment game for dogs.
