Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs is a new course that uses mental stimulation and training to unlock your dog’s natural intelligence. When this happens behaviors disappear, and more desirable behavior emerges in their place.
Adrienne Farricelli is a CPDT KA dog trainer with extensive experience in canine behaviour modification. She is also the founder of Brain Training for Dogs and author of several dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is vital to the mental well-being and health of your dog. It helps keep them healthy and fit and lower the risk of heart disease, hip dysplasia, or obesity-related diseases like cancer or diabetes.
You will also keep them engaged and happy. Exercising together will increase your bond and encourage socialization.
The brain of a dog can become cluttered and dull when they aren’t challenged mentally. They may begin chewing on things or scratch furniture.
Training can help avoid these problems and improves your dog’s behavior around other dogs and humans. In some instances, it could save your dog’s life!
Mental exercise can also slow down the process of onset memory loss and dementia. It helps form new brain connections, and also protects nerve cells from degeneration.
Games
Games are a great choice if you want to give your dog a sense of stimulation. These games are also a great method to keep dogs fit and as active as they used to be, or dogs recovering from an operation or injury.
Simple brain games can be played in a small area like a house or garden. Keep pieces of your dog’s favorite treat around the inside the house or outside in the warmer weather. Let them go in search of it.
These brain games are enjoyable and can be played for only some minutes each time. They also help your dog stay mentally sharp while you train them. This helps them learn faster and keep mentally sharp. This can also help them improve their ability to concentrate on commands and improve their bond with their owner.
Treats
Treats are an excellent way to train your dog. This is a great method to strengthen their training and stimulate their brains. However, you should be cautious not to overdo it.
During training, it’s important to follow through with your instructions and only treat when they have followed the instructions in a correct manner. This will keep your dog from getting confused by confusing signals.
Some of the most well-known brain training options for dogs include games, puzzles and mental exercises. They’re a great way to keep your dog mentally active while giving them the chance to build their confidence.
Place treats in different cups or containers. This is among the most popular brain games for dogs. The dog must guess the container in which the treat is supposed to be placed in and if they are correct they will be awarded a reward.
Socialization
As a dog owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your pup has the confidence, flexibility, and ability to deal with a variety of situations. In this regard it is vital to socialize your dog.
In their early years, puppies need to be exposed to different types of people and animals, as well as different environments. If they are not exposed to these things they may become nervous and fearful.
Some people may even develop negative behaviors, such as aggression or phobias.
The good news is that socialization could help solve these issues and make life with your dog more enjoyable.
For example, if your puppy is rough mouthing with other dogs, allowing them ample time to play with them will teach them how to control their bite.
Allowing your dog to interact with other pets, people, and different environments can help them manage temperamental or separation anxiety when you go to work. It’s important to begin small and gradually work up to more challenging tasks over time.
