Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a brand-new course that combines the stimulation of the mind and dog training to unlock the inherent intelligence of your dog. When this happens, problematic behaviors disappear and more pleasant behaviors erupt in their place.
The program was designed by Adrienne Farricelli who is a CPDT-KA dog trainer with extensive experience in the field of canine behavior modification. She is also the founder of Brain Training for Dogs and the author of several dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is vital to the mental well-being and health of your dog. It helps keep them fit and healthy and can reduce the risk of hip dysplasia, heart disease or obesity-related illnesses such as cancer or diabetes.
It also keeps them content and engaged with you. Exercise together can strengthen your relationship and helps to encourage socialization.
If a dog isn’t mentally challenged their brains can get cluttered with time. They may begin to chew on things or scratch furniture.
Training can help avoid these problems and improves your dog’s behavior with dogs and other dogs. In some cases it can even save your dog’s life!
Additionally, mental exercises can help slow the progression of memory loss and dementia. It helps form new connections in the brain and protects existing nerve cells from degeneration.
Play the Game
Games are a great choice for providing your dog a mental stimulation. These games can also be a great way to get your dog exercising if they’re not as active as they once were or recovering from an injury or surgery.
Some brain games for dogs are easy to make, and they all can be played in small spaces such as the garden or house. For instance, hide small pieces of your dog’s favorite treat within the house (or outside in the warmer weather) and let them hunt for it.
These brain games can be played for a short period at a time. They can give your dog a fun mental workout while you are training them. This can help them learn faster and remain mentally sharp. They also increase their ability to focus on their commands and can enhance their bond with you.
Treats
Treats are a great method to train your dog. This is a great method to strengthen their training and stimulate their brains. It is important to be cautious and not overdo this.
When you train, it is vital to be consistent in your commands. Only give them rewards when they follow the instructions correctly. This will ensure that you don’t send confusing signals and causing confusion to your dog.
Puzzle games, toys and mental exercises are some of the most sought-after options for dogs who are brain-training. These toys are an excellent way to keep dogs mentally active and help them build confidence.
Hide treats under different cups or containers. This is one of the most played brain games for dogs. The dog has to figure out which container the treat supposed to be in and, if it’s correct they are awarded a reward.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog has confidence, adaptability and the ability to cope with any situation. Socialization plays a vital role in this process.
In the first few years, puppies need to be exposed to all kinds of animals and people and also different environments. Without exposure to these things they can be anxious and scared.
They may even exhibit bad behaviors such as aggression and fear of heights.
The positive side is that socialization could help alleviate these problems and make life with your dog more enjoyable.
If your puppy is causing trouble for other dogs, then playing with them for a prolonged period will teach them to control their bite.
The ability to let your dog interact with other pets, people and other animals can help reduce anger or separation anxiety when you go to work. It’s important to begin small and then gradually progress to bigger challenges over time.
