Enrichment Check-In: What Helped Your Dog Decompress?
Decompression looks different for every dog — and often, the simplest activities are the most effective.
Chewing, licking, and sniffing aren’t just “busy work.” For many dogs, these behaviors:
- Help regulate their nervous system
- Release tension after stress or excitement
- Support calm transitions into rest
- Provide comfort and predictability
What works can change day to day depending on energy levels, environment, and stress.
💬 What chewing, licking, or sniffing activity helped your dog decompress recently?
A chew?
A lick mat?
A slow sniff walk?
A quiet scavenger hunt?
Sharing what works helps everyone build better support routines 💚
