Your bird dog was bred to work. Whether you hunt or not, those instincts don’t disappear.
And when those instincts aren’t given an outlet, they resurface as restlessness, chaos, and behaviors that feel overwhelming.
A Practical Guide to Instinctual Enrichment gives you a structured, step-by-step approach to honoring your dog’s natural working instincts. Built around the bird dog working sequence — search, point, flush, mark, and retrieve — this guide goes beyond generic brain games to build real scent skills, impulse control, confidence, and a stronger bond with your dog...no hunting required!

I brought home my first bird dog 7 years ago — and now I have 3! Over the years I continue to discover more and more activities and opportunities that I never even knew existed.
I created this guide to bring those ideas together into one place.
Inside, you’ll find everything from simple activities you can do at home, to DIY field-style work, to structured dog sports, all designed to provide your bird dog with a fulfilling life.
This Guide Is For You If...
-
You don't hunt, but want to honor your bird dog's genetics.
-
You want structured step-by-step enrichment guidance, not a list of activity "ideas."
-
You own a high energy bird dog/pointing breed and are looking for meaningful ways to provide fulfillment.
This Guide Is NOT For You If...
-
You're looking for ways to keep your dog busy while you work or multitask.
-
You're looking for puzzle toys and/or food-dispensing solutions to use as enrichment.
-
You're looking for a formal hunting dog training manual.
FAQ
Do you accept refunds?

Can I purchase the enrichment app without the e-book?
At this time, the enrichment app is not available for individual purchase. It is designed to expand upon the concepts and activities discussed in the e-book.
Is this guide helpful for training?
I am not a professional dog trainer, animal behaviorist, or animal health professional. This guide is built on my personal experiences as a bird dog owner, as well as independent research. While these activities may potentially provide benefit for training, I would recommend seeking out a certified professional if you are looking for that sort of guidance.
Can I purchase this guide if I own a breed that is not a bird dog/pointing breed?
The vast majority of this e-book is structured to target key instincts these breeds exhibit (searching, pointing, flushing, retrieving, etc.). With that being said, many of the activities included could also be beneficial for any breed. You may choose to purchase this e-book and take the concepts learned to apply/adjust to your dog's breed, if you wish!
