The Mission and Team of DOGLi
At DOGLi, we know that dogs aren’t just pets – they’re family. And when it comes to family, only the best will do. That’s why we created DOGLi in 2024 – a heartfelt project born from our love for dogs and our understanding of how essential enrichment is for their health and happiness. Enrichment keeps dogs mentally and physically engaged, meets their natural needs, and strengthens the bond between dogs and their humans. It helps prevent boredom, reduces stress, and tackles behavioral challenges. With over 200 fun and creative ideas for play, exploration, and shared adventures, DOGLi is here to inspire you to keep your dog happy, healthy, and thriving while creating unforgettable moments together. Behind DOGLi is a passionate team of dog behavior and training experts, working tirelessly to bring you fresh, creative ways to make everyday life with your dog even more special – because every dog deserves a happy, fulfilling life.
