The topic of enrichment for your dog is a frequent one on the podcast. We all know the importance of providing your canine friend with a variety of games and activities to keep their days interesting and their minds engaged. But what about dogs who have suffered the loss of one of their senses? Providing enrichment activities for dogs who can’t see or hear (or possibly both) presents unique challenges for their owners. Holistic dog behaviorist Deb Bowers specializes in the care of blind and/or deaf dogs and joins Julie and Tina today to talk about ways to continue to provide enrichment for your disabled dog.
