Are you still treating enrichment like an optional extra instead of the core of your daycare experience?

What would change in your business if you stopped cramming more dogs into the yard — and started charging more for a deeper, more meaningful day?

And how much easier would life be if your staff, clients, and dogs were all on board with the same enrichment-first philosophy?

In this episode, I sit down with enrichment expert and long-time collaborator Tim Jackson to recap the biggest breakthroughs from the 2025 Pet Care Enrichment Summit. Together we share how the industry is shifting away from chaos and crowd control — and towards personalised canine curriculums that boost behaviour, profitability, and client loyalty.

You'll hear how facilities across the globe are rethinking enrichment from the ground up, why staff engagement is the missing ingredient in most programmes, and how ideas like "scent spaces" and comfort-based enrichment are creating calmer, happier dogs (and much happier teams, not to mention the owners). Me and Tim also tackle the biggest objections — from staff resistance to space constraints — and explain why enrichment is the lever that makes every other part of your business easier to run.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Beyond Snuffle Mats – Why most daycares are barely scratching the surface of what enrichment can be. • Lessons from the Zoos – How top facilities design activities with purpose, calmness, and natural behaviours in mind. • Staff Buy-In Made Simple – How the Employee Accelerator model turns enrichment sceptics into champions. • Innovation in Action – Real-world examples of scent walls, comfort zones, and sensory spaces transforming small facilities. • The Missing Link – Why you're not "just" providing exercise — you're offering fulfilment, structure, and behavioural balance.

If enrichment still feels like "something extra," this episode will flip that script. It's not the future — it's the standard your clients and dogs already expect. And the sooner you embrace it, the sooner your daycare becomes the one dogs thrive in, not just survive.
