visual 
hearing 
touch 
taste 
and smell

this encourages an animal to explore their surroundings, promoting natural behaviour like scent marking
licking 
and rolling ]]> 2018-11-05 12:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/300428741 u10429083 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302387421 2018-11-09 01:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302387421 u10429083 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302388335 2018-11-09 01:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302388335 u10429083 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302388494 2018-11-09 01:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302388494 u10429083 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302390117  studies show that classical music reduced stress levels and increased resting and sleeping in dogs. 

 Olfactory enrichment can also be used to stimulate a dog’s interest and may have some beneficial effects in mitigating distress. 

 Visually stimulating objects add interest 

 Bright, colored, complex, and moving video images are more attractive than dull, still, greytone, and simple images.

-destructive chewing
-digging holes 
 
a variety of these behaviours are caused by a lack of mental stimulation 

another cause of destuctive behaviour is seperation anxiety ]]> 2018-11-09 01:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302391449 u10429083 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302391584 -growling when being handled
-snapping when in contact with other dogs
-biting intensionally 
-showing teeth

a variety of these behaviours are caused by fear- to treat this i would regularly play music to sooth the dog and also spray diluted lavender essential oil around the dog

another cause of aggessive behaviour ]]> 2018-11-09 01:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302391584 u10429083 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302392447 2018-11-09 01:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302392447 u10429083 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302394688 2018-11-09 01:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302394688 u10403157 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302611393 In many cases keeping wolves in captivity, can lead to them showing signs of stereotypical behaviours such as pacing or circling. It's thought they do this when they can't exhibit natural behaviour patterns, or it could be repeated efforts to deal with some issue. 

This could be prevented by providing them with sensory enrichment, like hiding pieces of their food around the enclosure so they have to use their sense of smell to find it. Another way they could present their food could be tying it to a tree or hiding it underground, so they have to dig it out.

Hiding their food means they have to work for it and it gives them something to do. This means they are less likely to be pacing and circling their enclosure, if they're more occupied with searching for food. ]]> 2018-11-09 16:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302645582 u10403157 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302652304 Their food will be the enrichment and will be given to them in different ways when it is their feeding time. The enrichment will last however long it takes them to find and eat the food. ]]> 2018-11-09 16:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/302652304 u10403157 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/304099828 The end goal is to get the dog to stop being aggressive and to make it feel calmer in its environment. This is to make sure that the dog doesn’t act out in any war or show signs of abnormal behaviour.]]> 2018-11-14 01:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/304099828 u10403157 https://padlet.com/nicoleconnor2012/yc15aqecfrv4/wish/304101098 This enrichment will be given to the dog whenever it is stressed or acting out.
