Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a brand new course, combines dog training and stimulation to unlock the natural intelligence of your dog. This will cause problematic behaviors to diminish and be replaced by more desirable ones.
The program was designed by Adrienne Farricelli an CPDT-KA dog trainer with extensive experience in modifying behavior of dogs. She is also the founder of Brain Training for Dogs and the author of a variety of dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is essential to an animal’s mental and well-being. It can keep them healthy and fit and lower the risk of heart diseases hip dysplasia or obesity-related diseases like diabetes or cancer.
It will also keep them active and content. Exercise together can strengthen your relationship and helps to encourage socialization.
If a dog isn’t mentally challenged the brain can get cluttered over time. They might start chewing on objects, scratch furniture or bark in excess.
Training can help you avoid these issues, and also improve your dog’s behavior with other dogs and with people. In some instances, it could save your dog’s life!
Mental exercise can also reduce the progression of memory loss and dementia. It helps form new brain connections and guards nerve cells against degeneration.
Games
If you’re looking for a way to provide your dog with mental stimulation, games are a great way to go. These games can also be a great way to get your dog exercising if they’re not as active as they once were, or dogs recovering from an injury or surgery.
Simple brain games can be played in a small space like a garden or house. Hide pieces of your dog’s most loved food around the indoors or outdoors if it is warm enough. Let them go in search of it.
These brain games can be played for a few minutes at a time. They can provide your dog with a fun mental workout while you train them. This can help them learn faster and stay mentally sharp. They can also increase their ability to concentrate on their commands and can improve their relationship with you.
Treats
One of the most effective methods to train your dog is to provide treats. This is a great way to strengthen their training and stimulate their brains. But, be careful not to overdo it.
When you train, it is vital to be consistent in your commands. Only give them rewards when they follow the instructions correctly. This will stop your dog from getting confused by confusing signals.
Puzzle toys, games and mental exercise are some of the most requested options for brain training dogs. These toys are a great way to keep dogs mentally active and to help them build confidence.
One of the most lovable brain games for dogs is hiding treats in various containers or cups. The dog has to figure out which container they’re supposed to be in and, if they’re right, reward them with a treat.
Socialization
As a dog owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog is comfortable and well-adjusted. They should also be able to deal with any new situation. Socialization plays a critical role in this process.
In the beginning of their life, puppies must be exposed to various types of animals, people and different environments. If they are not exposed to these things they may become nervous and fearful.
They could even develop undesirable behaviours like aggression and phobias.
The positive side is that socialization can alleviate these issues and make life with your dog easier.
If your puppy is causing trouble for other dogs, allowing them to play with them for long periods will teach them to be more cautious when they bite.
The ability to let your dog interact with people, other pets, and different environments can help them manage separation anxiety or temper tantrums when you leave for work. It’s important to begin with a small amount and gradually move up to bigger challenges over time.
