Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs is a brand new course that utilizes mental stimulation and training to unleash your dog’s natural intelligence. When this happens, problem behavior is reduced and more desirable behaviors erupt in their place.
The program is designed by Adrienne Farricelli an CPDT-KA dog trainer with a wealth of experience in the field of canine behavior modification. She is the founder of Brain Training for Dogs, and is the author of a variety of books on dog training.
Exercise
Exercise is vital to a dog’s mental health and wellbeing. It keeps them fit and healthy and can lower the risk of hip dysplasia, heart disease or obesity-related diseases like cancer or diabetes.
You will also keep them entertained and happy. Engaging in exercise together can strengthen your bond and encourage socialization.
If a dog is not mentally challenged the brain can get cluttered with time. They may start to chew on things, scratch up furniture or bark excessively.
Training can help avoid these problems, and improve your dog’s behavior with other dogs and people. In some cases it can save your dog’s life!
Mental exercising can also help to slow down the beginning of memory loss as well as dementia. It helps form new neural connections in the brain and protects existing nerve cells from degeneration.
Play the Game
Games are an excellent option for providing your dog a mental stimulation. These games are also a great way to get your dog exercising if they’re not as active as they once were or those recovering from an injury or operation.
Some brain games for dogs are easy to prepare, and they can be played in small spaces like a house or garden. For example, hide pieces of your dog’s favorite food in places around the house (or outside in the warmer weather) and let them go hunting for it.
These brain games can be played for a few minutes at a stretch and give your dog a fun mental workout while you train them. This can help them learn faster and remain mentally sharp. This can also aid in improving their ability to concentrate on commands and strengthen their bond with their owner.
Treats
One of the most effective ways to teach your dog to give them treats. This is a great method to reinforce their learning and stimulate their brains. You should be cautious to not overdo this.
When training, it is important to follow through with your instructions and only treat when they have followed the instructions correctly. This will prevent your dog from becoming confused by mixed signals.
Puzzle toys, games and mental exercise are some of the most sought-after options for brain training dogs. These toys are an excellent method to keep dogs engaged and help them build confidence.
Keep treats hidden in different cups or containers. This is one of the most played brain games for dogs. The dog has to guess what container they’re supposed be under, and if they’re correct then reward them with the reward of a treat.
Socialization
As a dog’s proprietor, it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog has self-confidence, flexibility and the ability to cope with any situation. Socialization plays a vital role in this process.
In the early years, puppies need to be exposed to a variety of animals and humans, and also different environments. Without exposure to these things, they can become anxious and fearful.
Some people may even develop negative behaviors, such as anxiety or phobias.
Socialization can ease these issues and make life easier for your dog.
For example, if your puppy is known to be rough with other dogs, giving them ample time to play will teach them how to control their bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people, and in different settings will aid in reducing the anxiety of separation, 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.
