Written by "Pups at One Year" program participants Wendy Watson and Laura Walters: Enrichment programs serve the purpose of creating additional stimulation for the pack. We have noticed that enrichment other than meat leads to less aggression between pack members. This week one of the enrichment programs was scent-based, by adding Catnip and Fish Oil to various items throughout the enclosure. Another enrichment program centered around two watermelons, two cantaloupe and two honeydew melons. Each melon had a core removed, small bits of sausages were stuffed into the center and the core replaced. In Malik's photo you see him enjoying a watermelon.
