We’ve had a lot of questions about our enrichment add-ons lately, so we wanted to explain who they’re designed for! 🐾

Our Sniff Walks and Enrichment Sessions are intended for our solo boarding dogs, not our daycare or playgroup dogs.

🐶 Playgroup dogs are already active for 8-10 hours a day, running, playing, socializing, and exploring with their friends. They’re getting plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation throughout the day.

🐕 Solo boarding dogs are NOT just sitting in a kennel all day. Every solo dog receives 5-6 indoor and outdoor potty/play sessions throughout the day, along with individualized attention from our staff. However, some dogs—especially younger or higher-energy dogs—need even more outlets to burn energy and challenge their minds.

🌿 Sniff Walks provide one-on-one outdoor time where dogs can explore the world through their nose, move at their own pace, and enjoy extra mental stimulation. A good sniff session can be just as tiring as a long walk!

🦴 Enrichment Sessions are one-on-one sessions with a staff member using treats, positive reinforcement, and fun training games. We work on simple skills like sits, downs, stays, touch, leash manners, confidence-building exercises, and other activities that engage a dog’s brain while strengthening their bond with people.

We truly appreciate everyone wanting to add these services for their pups! ❤️ But because these are individualized, one-on-one experiences, we simply don’t have enough hours in the day to provide them for every dog. We’d rather offer a smaller number of high-quality enrichment sessions than rush through them just to accommodate everyone.

Our goal is always to provide each dog with the care they need. For our daycare dogs, they’re already getting a full day of social and physical activity. For our solo boarders who need a little extra, these add-ons help fill that gap with additional mental and physical enrichment tailored just for them. 🐾

🐾 Why We Believe in Crate Training & Solo Downtime 🐾

We’ve been working hard on our expansion and a lot of the space will be used for nap areas, transition kennels & more. So, here’s a little rundown why we believe crate training is SO important if you’re interested in boarding or daycare. 🐾

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that dogs should play all day long at daycare. While play is important, so is learning how to slow down.

Just like toddlers, dogs need breaks. Without them, they can become overstimulated, overtired, and make poor decisions with other dogs. That’s why every dog at Puckett’s Pups gets scheduled solo downtime throughout the day.

Crate training at home makes this so much easier. A crate shouldn’t be viewed as punishment—it’s their own safe space to relax, decompress, and recharge. Dogs that are comfortable in a crate often settle faster, experience less stress, and transition through their daycare day much more successfully.

Solo downtime helps:
🐶 Prevent overstimulation
🐶 Reduce stress and anxiety
🐶 Encourage healthy rest (dogs need a LOT more sleep than we think!)
🐶 Keep playgroups safer and happier
🐶 Teach dogs it’s okay to relax even when the fun is happening around them

Our goal isn’t to keep your dog running for 10 hours straight. Our goal is to send them home happy, mentally fulfilled, and healthy—not completely exhausted.

A well-balanced daycare day includes play, enrichment, one-on-one attention, and rest. Just like people, dogs need all of the above. ❤️

Crate training is one of the best gifts you can give your dog, whether they come to daycare, stay overnight, travel, visit the vet, recover from an injury, or simply need a quiet place to unwind at home.
