Having them walk on different surfaces (can be as silly as a lid to a large container) and using treats to lure them could help. Bringing the ball pit in that room could be great. If we could get a collapse-able wagon and bring them to the big playroom to spend time and do different things, it would be wonderful.Resources: Practical Tips to Boost Your Shelter’s Puppy Socialization GamePuppy-Socialization-Training-and-Enrichment-3.pdfCanine-Enrichment.pdf Upon Arrival, please do: Check in at the Volunteer Kiosk (behind the front desk) & gather your name badgeFind an ACT (Animal Care Technician) for guidance and update marker boards with any enrichment provided or if yarding/walking any dogObserve "Puppy Protocol" (see signs around kennels) if interacting at all with puppies - we need to keep the little ones safe!Questions?
