Training can help you avoid these problems, and improve your dog’s interaction with other dogs as well as with other people. In some instances it can even save your dog’s life!
Mental exercise can also slow down the progression of memory loss and dementia. It aids in the formation of new brain connections and protects nerve cells from degeneration.
Games

Simple brain games can be played in a small space like a backyard or house. Hide pieces of your dog’s favourite food around the home or outside in warm weather. Let them hunt for it.
These brain games are enjoyable and can be played for only one or two minutes every time. They also help your dog to remain mentally sharp while you train them. This can help them learn faster and remain sharp. They can also improve their ability to focus on the instructions and can increase their connection with you.
Treats
One of the most effective ways to train your dog is to give them treats. This is a great method of enhancing obedience training as well as to stimulate their brains. But, be cautious not to overdo it.
When training, it is important to follow through with your commands and only treat when they have followed the instructions correctly. This will prevent your dog from getting confused by confusing signals.
The most popular methods of training dogs’ brains include puzzle toys, games and mental exercises. These toys are a great way to keep dogs engaged and to help them build confidence.
One of the most beloved dog games that involves brains is hiding treats under different containers or cups. The dog is required to guess what container they’re supposed be hiding under, and if they’re correct then reward them with an edible treat.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog has self-confidence, flexibility and capability to deal with any situation. Socialization plays an important role in this process.
During the first few years of their lives, young puppies need to be exposed various types of animals, people and different environments. If they don’t get exposure to these types of things they can be scared and anxious.
Some may even develop negative behavior, like aggression or phobias.
The good news is that socialization can alleviate these problems and make life with your dog easier.
If your puppy is constantly yelling at other dogs, then the act of letting them play with them for a long time will teach them to be more cautious when they bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in different environments will aid in reducing separation anxiety, or temper tantrums, when you leave to go to work. It’s important to start small and work your way up to larger challenges over time.
