Title: “Your Next Move.” Text reads: Observe your dog’s choices — what do they seek, avoid, or repeat? Identify one unmet need (movement, rest, social time, chewing, exploring). Add or adjust enrichment to meet that need. Notice behavior changes — calmer? more focused? more playful? Remember: meeting needs builds trust and motivation. A teal heart outline with a paw print decorates the lower right corner beside the Ready, Pup, Go! logo.

Try adding one new enrichment activity this week and see what your dog tells you through their behavior.
