Episode 56 – The Importance of Enrichment and Behavioural Diversity

 

Enrichment and Behavioural Diversity are 2 buzzwords that are used quite frequently when it comes to providing our pets with opportunities to express their behavioural needs.

In this episode, Ilse and I chat about what Enrichment and Behavioural Diversity actually are and whether the term “enrichment” is appropriate for what we should be providing for our pets on a daily basis.

We also talk about different types of “enrichment” as well as how these fit into not only our Behaviour Treatment Plans, but also our pets’ everyday lives.

You will be able to take away instant practical tips and solutions for YOUR pet’s or patient’s wellbeing, which you can implement immediately.

 

Here is what we talk about:

1.      Why “enrichment” might not be the best term when it comes to our pets’ behavioural needs.

2.      How different forms of “enrichment” can provide different outlets for behaviour.

3.      Why “contra freeloading” is an important concept to know about.

4.      How social enrichment is different for different species.

5.      How different types of enrichment can overlap to provide multiple benefits all at once.
