The 7-Day Aussie Enrichment Challenge
A structured seven-day program: one specific activity per day, with exact setup, materials, and difficulty levels — each day building on the last until it becomes a routine.
This is a program, not a reading list. Each day gives you one specific activity with exact setup instructions, the materials you'll need, three difficulty levels, and one clear action to complete. The days build on each other: you'll establish a baseline, teach a search cue, add training and a household job, tackle a multi-stage puzzle, train the off-switch, and finish by stacking the week into a routine you can keep.
If you want background reading and more ideas, that's what our enrichment articles are for. This page is for doing. Sign up below and Day 1 arrives in your inbox immediately, with Days 2–7 following one a day.

What arrives in your inbox
Seven emails, one a day. Each one contains that day's complete activity: the materials you'll need, exact setup steps, easy, medium and hard variations, the skill it develops, and one clear action to finish. The week builds from a simple baseline to a routine you can keep — the whole program is delivered by email, so there's nothing to read here first.
After the seven days
Keep the two or three activities that landed and let the rest go. A fifteen-minute enrichment habit you actually repeat beats an ambitious plan you abandon in a fortnight. If you want to go deeper, the Complete Australian Shepherd Enrichment Guide covers the reasoning behind all of this in detail.
This challenge is educational and general in nature. It is not veterinary or professional behaviour advice. If your dog shows signs of anxiety, reactivity, pain, or sudden behaviour change, speak with your veterinarian or a qualified behaviour professional.
