Hi, I’m Becky, your guide to joyful enrichment

Meet Becky

I’m a lifelong rescue dog guardian, enrichment enthusiast, and behavior nerd with over 30 years in the rescue and shelter community. For the past two decades, I’ve studied and practiced canine behavior from every angle through courses, hands-on work, and daily life with dogs of all ages and personalities.

What I’ve learned is simple: enrichment changes everything. It eases stress, improves behavior, and builds stronger bonds between dogs and their people. My joy is helping guardians like you bring enrichment into everyday life—so you and your best friend can thrive together..
