Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a brand-new course that uses mental stimulation and dog training to unlock the natural intelligence of your dog. When this happens behaviors fade away and more enjoyable behaviors emerge in their place.
The program was designed by Adrienne Farricelli who is a CPDT-KA dog trainer with extensive experience in canine behavior modification. She is the founder of Brain Training for Dogs, and author of many books on dog training.
Exercise
Exercise is vital to the mental well-being and health of your dog. It helps keep their bodies healthy and fit and reduces the risk of hip dysplasia, heart disease or obesity-related conditions like diabetes or cancer.
It also keeps them happy and engaged with you. Exercise together can enhance your bond and encourage socialization.
The dog’s brain can get dull and cluttered in time if they aren’t challenged mentally. They might begin to chew on objects, scratch furniture or bark excessively.
Training can prevent these issues and improves your dog’s behavior when it comes to dogs and other dogs. In some cases it can even save your pet’s life!
Mental exercise can also help slow down the progression of memory loss and dementia. It helps form new brain connections and helps protect existing nerve cells from degeneration.
Play the Game
Games are a great option if you want to give your dog a sense of stimulation. These games are also a great option to keep dogs fit and as active as they used to be or recovering from an operation or injury.
Some brain games for dogs are simple to make, and they all can be played in small spaces such as a house or garden. For instance, place pieces of your dog’s most loved treat in places around the house (or outside when it’s warm enough) and let them hunt for it.
These brain games can be played for a short period at a stretch and give your dog a fun mental workout while you train them. This can help them learn faster and remain sharp. This can also help them improve their ability to focus on commands and strengthen their relationship with their owners.
Treats
Treats are a great way to teach your dog. This is a great method to increase the effectiveness of obedience training, and also to stimulate their brains. But, be cautious not to overdo it.
During training, it’s important to be consistent with your commands and only treat those who have followed the instructions properly. This will prevent your dog from becoming confused by confusing signals.
The most popular dog brain training options include puzzle toys, games, and mental exercises. These toys are a great method to keep dogs engaged and help them gain confidence.
One of the most lovable dog games that involves brains is hiding treats under different containers or cups. The dog is required to guess which container they’re supposed to be under If they’re right you can reward them with an edible treat.
Socialization
As a dog owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your pup has the self-confidence, flexibility and the ability to cope with new situations. In this regard the importance of socialization.
In the initial few years of their lives, puppies must be exposed to various types of animals, people and environments. They may be scared or anxious in the absence of exposure to these situations.
Many may develop negative behaviors, for example fear or aggression.
Socialization can help to alleviate these problems and make life easier for your dog.
If your puppy is constantly yelling at other dogs, then allowing them to play with them for a prolonged period will teach them to control their bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people, and in different environments will aid in reducing the anxiety of separation, or temper tantrums, when you go to work. It’s also important to start small and gradually work up to larger challenges as you progress.
