What Dogs Want
Share
A unique enrichment center that provides fun, purposeful and educational activities that encourage dogs to learn, engage in and explore their environment. Providing enrichment and behavior services for dogs since 2007. What Dogs Want was created by a behavior specialist after meeting a very special dog. We exist to provide opportunities for dogs to engage in their world using instinctual behavior
Here's a fun activity that will build your dog's confidence and let him use his natural instincts to dig, shred, forage, and feed! Drop a few pieces of food into a brown paper bag and crumble the bag up. Now wrap a towel around your crumpled up bag and let your dog figure out how to get to the tasty morsels hidden inside! This activity requires a lot of brain power 🧠 so play this a few times! Not only are you meeting your dog's needs and strengthening your relationship, but he'll be ready for a nap when he's through 😴 Enrichment isn't just about keeping your dogs busy it's about quality of life, quality time together, and having freedom to think, explore, and engage in the world around them. So make some time to play with your dog. It's good for both of you 🩷 ❤️
Indy is our “why” and all of your beautiful dogs we’ve met and helped along the way keep that mission going ❤️

By now, you’ve all probably heard the news… so it’s time to officially share:
The move across the pond is happening! 🐾🇬🇧
This summer, What Dogs Want Academy will be relocating from the United States to the United Kingdom.
We’re incredibly excited for this next chapter and for the opportunity to bring enrichment, problem-solving, confidence-building, and thoughtful learning opportunities to the dogs of England.
At the same time, this is a bittersweet announcement.
To our current and past clients here in the US, thank you. Truly.
It has been such a privilege to be part of your dogs’ journeys over the years. Watching your dogs grow confidence, learn how to navigate new challenges, discover their problem-solving abilities and celebrate all the little wins along the way has meant to much to us.
We’ve built so many wonderful relationships and made memories we will always carry with us.
If you’re a current client, please don’t panic. We will continue sending email updates as plans come into their final stages so you’ll know exactly what is going on.
And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re always happy to chat!
Thank you for being a part of this journey and for trusting us with your dogs. We’re so excited for what’s ahead, and so grateful for everything that’s brought us here. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you to the most incredible crew (dogs AND human) for letting us hang out, learn from you, share ideas, and work and play with some amazing dogs. So much good energy. Yes, What Dogs Want is moving across the pond and Rochdale Canine Country Club will be our new home. This is going to brilliant! 🇬🇧
