Fast & Effective
3 Simple Steps
The Enricher has four compartments that release at timed intervals you set yourself — anywhere from 60 seconds to 8 hours apart. You load each compartment with treats, toys, or chews, set the timer with a simple dial, and the device automatically opens each compartment throughout the day to keep your dog engaged while you're out.
Step 1: Load it
Open each of the four compartments and fill them with your dog's favourite treats, kibble, small chews, or toys. Mix up what goes in each one — variety is what keeps your dog curious and engaged. There's no wrong combination, just make sure items fit comfortably inside without jamming the release mechanism.
Step 2: Set It
Turn the dial to set your release interval — anywhere from 60 seconds to 8 hours between each compartment opening. Starting out? Set shorter intervals so your dog learns the routine quickly. Once they're comfortable, extend the timing to spread enrichment across the full day. No app, no wifi — just twist and go.
Step 3: Transform
Walk away knowing your dog has structured stimulation waiting for them throughout the day. Over time, The Enricher builds independence, reduces separation anxiety, and replaces destructive habits with calm, focused engagement. Most owners notice a difference within the first week — less barking, less chewing, and a happier dog when you walk back through the door.

What Dog Owners Are Saying
Game changer for our mornings
"We used to leave guilty every day, wondering how our dog coped. Now she actually looks forward to us leaving because she knows The Enricher is coming alive. Total peace of mind."
My senior dog seems sharper and happier
"At 12, Baxter had started pacing and forgetting simple routines. Within weeks of using The Enricher, he's calmer, more alert, and even brings his toys to the compartments each night!"
We use it in our wellbeing classroom
"Our Dogs Connect wellbeing dog gets scheduled enrichment through The Enricher during quiet times — it's been brilliant for maintaining her calm focus and confidence around students."
Goodbye separation stress
"The Enricher has turned alone time into adventure time. No more barking or chewing the couch — just a relaxed, content dog when we get home."
The independence shift is incredible
"Our rescue dog used to panic the minute we grabbed the keys. The Enricher helped her build confidence being alone. She now naps between releases — happy, balanced, settled."
Brilliant tool for aged-care therapy dogs
"Our facility dog uses The Enricher daily between visits. It keeps her brain active without overstimulating her. She's more patient, responsive, and clearly loves the anticipation."
Worth every cent
"You can tell this was designed by people who understand dogs. It's not gimmicky — it's genuinely changed our dog's routine and behaviour for the better."
Clever, simple, and reliable
"Set it up once, trust it all day. The build quality is solid, the timer works perfectly, and my dog hasn't lost interest in three months."
Our house feels calmer
"Since we introduced The Enricher, our two border collies are more settled when we're out — and more affectionate when we return. It's like they finally have balance."
Makes enrichment effortless
"I used to spend ages setting up games before work. Now it's all timed and automatic. My dog gets variety, I get time back. Win-win."

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Why is The Enricher priced higher than other enrichment products?
The Enricher isn’t just a toy — it’s a structured enrichment system.
It delivers ongoing cognitive, emotional, physical, and instinctive stimulation throughout the day, even when you’re not home.
Instead of a single-use product, you’re investing in your dog’s long-term wellbeing, independence, and behaviour.
Will this actually help with boredom, anxiety, or destructive behaviour?
The Enricher is designed specifically to reduce under-stimulation — one of the leading causes of behavioural challenges.
By spacing enrichment across time (instead of all at once), it supports:
- Reduced boredom
- Increased independence
- More balanced energy levels
- Improved emotional regulation
Consistency is key — this is where The Enricher makes a real difference.
Is it safe to use when I’m not home?
Yes — when used as directed.
The Enricher is designed to be hung securely out of reach, releasing items safely into a clear space below.
We recommend:
- Using appropriate enrichment toys (not loose food)
- Ensuring a safe landing area
- Following setup guidelines in the manual
Safety and structure are central to the design.
What if my dog just ignores it?
This is usually about introduction, not the product.
Most dogs need a short learning phase to understand the system. When introduced properly, engagement increases significantly.
We provide clear guidance in the instruction booklet, and if needed, our team can support you with tailored strategies for your dog.
Is this suitable for puppies or older dogs?
Yes.
- Puppies: Supports brain development, independence, and healthy habits early on
- Adult dogs: Maintains stimulation and prevents behavioural decline
- Senior dogs: Encourages cognitive engagement, which is important for brain health
You can adjust the type of enrichment to suit your dog’s age and needs.
How long will it last? Is it durable?
The Enricher is built as a long-term tool, not a disposable product.
With proper use and care, it’s designed to support your dog’s enrichment routine daily — making it far more valuable over time than single-use toys.
Can I use it every day?
Absolutely — and that’s where it’s most effective.
Daily use creates a predictable enrichment rhythm your dog can rely on, helping build independence and emotional stability over time.
What makes this different from just giving my dog toys before I leave?
Timing changes everything.
Giving all enrichment at once often leads to:
- Quick consumption
- Long periods of boredom afterwards
The Enricher spaces stimulation across time, keeping your dog engaged throughout the day — not just for 10 minutes after you leave.
Is it worth it if I’m already walking my dog regularly?
Yes. Exercise and enrichment serve different purposes.
Walks provide physical activity. The Enricher provides mental and emotional stimulation — which is often the missing piece in preventing behavioural issues.
