CHCH CANINE ENRICHMENT CENTRE
/// ENRICHMENT CENTRE
Located in Hei Hei, Christchurch, our first Canine Enrichment Centre
We don’t just look after your dog—we enrich their day with learning, gentle play, emotional support, and meaningful rest.
We specialise in tailored, structured experiences for small dogs only, creating a calm, nurturing environment where they can grow in confidence, build skills, and feel truly at home.
Whether your dog is visiting for a short two-hour session while you run errands, or spending the full day while you work, shop, or attend appointments, you can trust that they are thriving, not just waiting for you to return.
HOW WE WORK
/// OUR PROCESS WHEN YOU DROP YOUR DOG FOR ENRICHMENT
WELCOME & ASSESSMENT
When your dog arrives, we take time to understand their needs, personality, and energy levels. We check how they’re feeling that day and make sure they’re comfortable before they join in the fun.
MATCHING FRIENDS
Small dogs are happiest in small groups. We carefully match your dog with a couple of like-minded friends so they can play, explore, and learn together in a safe, supportive environment.
ENRICHING ACTIVITIES
From puzzle toys and tunnels to scent games and ball play, we provide activities designed to stimulate both mind and body. These exercises help your dog build confidence, burn energy, and discover new skills.
OUTSIDE PLAY
Our supervised outdoor area gives your dog the chance to stretch their legs on real grass, soak up some sunshine, and enjoy natural playtime in a safe space.
QUIET TIME & COMFORT
Just like people, dogs need balance. We schedule restful crate breaks or cuddle time so your dog can recharge, relax, and feel secure before the next round of fun.
LEARNING & LIFE SKILLS
We gently teach tasks that enrich your dog’s brain and encourage good manners — from waiting calmly to solving puzzles — all while keeping it positive, fun, and rewarding.
HAPPY HOMETIME
At the end of the session, your dog is content, fulfilled, and ready to relax with you. We’ll share updates on their favourite activities so you can see how they’re thriving at Angels Enrichment Centre.
