In a Green Activities certified company, sled dogs receive regular exercise throughout the year.
In addition to this, a certified company gets extra points for providing mental stimulation eg. enrichment for the dogs during the rest periods, at least every three days. đŸ
đżđ Enrichment must support species-typical behaviour of dogs, such as sniffing, digging, or searching.
đŠŽđŸ Enrichment items may include, for example, sticks, balls or other toys, scent-based or digging activities, and they must be varied to maintain the dogsâ interest.
To meet the criterion, the establishment must present an enrichment plan and logbook showing what types of enrichment are provided and how often, as well as how the enrichment is varied to maintain the dogsâ interest.
âïžđ Enrichment must also be provided during the winter season for dogs that are not participating in work activities.
A thriving sled dog is active, curious, and content. đ

Green Activities -sertifioidussa yrityksessÀ rekikoirat saavat sÀÀnnöllisesti liikuntaa ympÀri vuoden.
Liikunnan lisĂ€ksi sertifiointi kannustaa tarjoamaan koirille myös henkisiĂ€ virikkeitĂ€ eli virikkeellistĂ€mistĂ€ lepojaksojen aikana vĂ€hintÀÀn kolmen pĂ€ivĂ€n vĂ€lein. đŸ
đżđ Virikkeiden tulee tukea koirien lajinomaista kĂ€yttĂ€ytymistĂ€ kuten haistelua, kaivamista tai etsimistĂ€.
đŠŽđŸ VirikkeitĂ€ voivat olla esim. kepit, pallot tai muut lelut, haisteltavat tai kaivettavat tehtĂ€vĂ€t, ja niitĂ€ tulee
vaihdella, jotta koirien mielenkiinto sÀilyy.
TÀyttÀÀkseen kriteerin yrityksen tulee esitellÀ virikesuunnitelma ja -lokikirja, joista kÀy ilmi, mitÀ virikkeitÀ
tarjotaan ja miten usein, sekÀ miten virikkeitÀ vaihdellaan koirien mielenkiinnon yllÀpitÀmiseksi.
âïžđ VirikkeitĂ€ tulee tarjota myös talvikaudella sellaisille koirille, jotka eivĂ€t osallistu työntekoon.
Hyvinvoiva rekikoira on aktiivinen, utelias ja tyytyvĂ€inen. đ
