Treats

One of the most adorable dog games that involves brains is hiding treats in various containers or cups. The dog is required to guess which container they’re supposed to be under If they’re right, reward them with a treat.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it’s your duty to ensure that your pup is confident and well-adjusted. He should also be able to cope with new situations. Socialization plays an important role in this process.
During their first few years, puppies need to be introduced to all types of animals and humans, as well as different environments. They may become fearful or anxious if they are not exposed to these situations.
They might even develop bad behavior, such as aggression or phobias.
The good news is that socialization could help ease these issues and make life with your dog easier.
For example, if your puppy is rough mouthing with other dogs, giving them plenty of time to play with them will help them learn to stop biting.
Having your dog socialize with other pets, people and in different environments can help reduce separation anxiety or temper tantrums when you go to work. It’s also important to start small and then gradually progress to bigger challenges over the course of time.
