Exercise

Games are an excellent option to provide your dog mental stimulation. They can also be an excellent way to exercise dogs that aren’t able exercise as vigorously as they used to, or for dogs who are recovering from an injury or surgery.
A few brain games for dogs are easy to prepare, and they can be done in small spaces like an outdoor space or a garden. For instance, hide small pieces of your dog’s most loved treat in places around the house (or outside when it’s warm enough) and let them go hunting for it.
These brain games can be played for a short period at a time. They give your dog an enjoyable mental workout while you train them. This helps them to learn faster and stay mentally sharp. This can help them improve their ability to focus on commands and strengthen their relationship with their owners.
Treats

Socialization
As a dog owner, it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog is secure and well-adjusted. It is also important to ensure that your dog is to deal with any new situation. In this process socialization is essential.
In the initial few years of their lives, young puppies need to be exposed to different kinds of animals, people and different environments. They may be scared or anxious in the absence of exposure to these situations.
Some people may even develop negative behaviors, such as aggression or phobias.
The positive side is that socialization can help solve these issues and make life with your pup easier.
If your puppy is constantly yelling at other dogs, then the act of letting them play with them for long periods will teach them to bite inhibition.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in different settings will also help to reduce separation anxiety, or temper tantrums after you leave to work. It’s important to begin small, and then progress to bigger challenges over the course of time.
