Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a brand new course that uses dogs and mental stimulation to unlock the inherent intelligence of your dog. This will cause problem behaviors to fade and be replaced by more desirable ones.
The program was created by Adrienne Farricelli, a CPDT-KA dog trainer with extensive experience in canine behavior modification. She is the creator of Brain Training for Dogs, and author of many books on dog training.
Exercise
Exercise is crucial to dogs’ mental health and well-being. It helps keep them fit and healthy and reduces the risk of heart disease, hip dysplasia or obesity-related conditions like diabetes or cancer.
You will also keep them active and content. Exercise together strengthens your relationship and encourages socialization.
If a dog isn’t mentally challenged, their brain can get cluttered with time. They might begin to chew on objects or scratch furniture.
Training can help you avoid these issues, as well as improve your dog’s interactions with other dogs and with people. In some instances, it can even save your dog’s life!
Mental exercising can also help to slow down the progression of memory loss and dementia. It aids in the creation of new neural connections in the brain and protects existing nerve cells from degeneration.
Play the Game
If you are looking for an easy way to give your dog mental stimulation games are an excellent option. These games can also be a great way to exercise dogs who aren’t as active as they once were, or dogs recovering from an operation or injury.
Simple brain games can be played in a tiny space like a backyard or house. For instance, place pieces of your dog’s favorite treat in places around 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 stretch and provide your dog with a fun mental workout while you train them. This helps to improve their learning speed and keep them mentally sharp. They can also improve their ability to concentrate on instructions, and it can enhance their bond with you.
Treats
Treats are a great way to help train your dog. This is a great method to reinforce their learning and stimulate their brains. Be careful to not overdo it.
When training, it is important to follow through with your commands and only treat when they have followed the instructions properly. Doing this will avoid sending mixed signals and can confuse your dog.
Puzzle toys, games and mental exercise are some of the most requested choices for dogs that train their brains. These toys are a great way to keep dogs active mentally and to help them build confidence.
Hide treats under different containers or cups. This is one of the most popular brain games for dogs. The dog must guess which container the treat is supposed to be placed in and, if it’s correct they’ll be rewarded.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner, it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog has self-confidence, flexibility, and ability to deal with any situation. In this process it is vital to socialize your dog.
During the first few years of their life, puppies must be exposed to various types of animals, people, and environments. They can become anxious or fearful when they aren’t exposed to these kinds of situations.
Many may develop negative behaviors, for example fear or aggression.
Socialization can ease these problems and make life easier for your dog.
For example, if your puppy is known to be rough with other dogs, allowing them ample time to play with them will teach them to be more cautious with their bites.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in different settings will also help to reduce the anxiety of separation, or temper tantrums, after you leave to work. It’s important to begin small and then gradually progress to bigger challenges over time.
