Some brain games for dogs are easy to make, and they all can be played in small spaces like an outdoor space or a garden. For instance, place pieces of your dog’s favourite food in places around the house (or outside if it’s warm enough) and let them search for it.
These brain games are fun and can be played for just one or two minutes every time. They also help your dog to remain sharp in their minds while you train them. This helps them to learn faster and remain sharp. They also increase their ability to focus on instructions, and it can strengthen their bond with you.
Treats

As a dog’s proprietor, it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog is secure, well-adjusted, and able to deal with any new situation. In this regard the importance of socialization.
During the first few years of their lives, young puppies need to be exposed different kinds of animals, people, and environments. They may be scared or anxious when they aren’t exposed to these things.
They might even develop bad behaviours like aggression and fear of heights.
Socialization can help alleviate these issues and make life easier for your dog.
If your puppy is rough-mouthing other dogs, allowing them to play with them for a long time will teach them to stop biting.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in a variety of environments will help reduce separation anxiety, or temper tantrums, when you go to work. It’s essential to start small, and then progress to bigger challenges over the course of time.
