Together with twenty other specialists in dog enrichment, I had the opportunity to share my insights and experiences at the Dog Enrichment Summit (DES) 2025 on a topic that I’m passionate about: Sensory Gardens and Sensory Enrichment.
What an experience! The ‘Dutch gal with the Rottweiler’ ended up sending over 700 eBooks, receiving dozens of responses, and answering global queries for help. Incredible, I am speechless.
Sniffing their way through a happy life!
A very big THANK YOU to Barb Buchmayer, who spends months each year putting together this beautiful, free event.
Hereby the link to the interview I had with Barb:
Dogs enrich our lives in countless ways, and I personally couldn’t imagine life without them. They are our best friends, loyal companions, and they enhance our lives. As full-fledged members of our families, we want nothing but the very best for our dogs.
While we don’t always have the opportunity to spend all our time (and money) on them, we can enrich their lives in many simple and fun ways. This is exactly why Barb Buchmayer set up the Dog Enrichment Summit.
Barb, the author of the book “Enrichment Games for High-Energy Dogs”, learned from her Border Collies what super energetic dogs need. But this Summit offers much more than just her insights. Imagine what more than 20 experts in the field of dog enrichment can contribute to your life and that of your dog. I promise you, their knowledge will amaze you.
On Tuesday, January 21, 2025, an 11-day online event, organized by Barb, will begin, entirely dedicated to enrichment for dogs – FREE!
I am honored to be one of the guest speakers at the Dog Enrichment Summit, along with more than 20 other world-class speakers specializing in dog enrichment. It is a privilege to share my insights and experiences with you on a topic I am passionate about: Sensory Gardens and Sensory Enrichment. Sniffing their way through a happy life!

Do you sometimes feel guilty for not spending enough time with your dog ? In our busy lives, we just want to relax with our family and our dog after a long day. It’s wonderful, but sometimes we feel overwhelmed and unsure whether we’re meeting all their needs. Despite our good intentions, we sometimes lack the energy and resources to give them the extras they need.
This is where the FREE 11-day virtual Dog Enrichment Summit comes in!
Starting Tuesday, January 21, you can enjoy over 20 world-class speakers, each an expert in creative and practical ways to enrich your dog’s life.
