Natural Exploration for Dogs
Roaming and Foraging at its Best
What is Outdoor Nature Enrichment (ONE)?
Outdoor Natural Enrichment (ONE) offers dogs “free to be me” time where they can engage in deeply satisfying behaviours in fields and forests and ponds.
In safe, supervised outings with compatible dogs, our ONE escorts dogs to places where they can run, roam, sniff, forage, and decompress.
Participating in ONE, dogs have the freedom to move at their own pace, linger over smells, run in tall grasses or deep snow, trace the roots of big old trees with their noses, and interact with their environment as they choose.
ONE enables dogs to engage in natural species-specific behaviours to a degree often not available in daily life with humans.
Our ONE outings include trainer-facilitated ‘picnic times’ when the dogs forage for small pieces of food scattered in the grasses and snow.
