Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a brand-new course that combines dog training and stimulation to unlock the natural intelligence of your dog. This will cause the bad behavior to diminish and be replaced with more desirable ones.
The program was designed by Adrienne Farricelli who is a CPDT-KA dog trainer with extensive experience in modifying behavior of dogs. She is the founder of Brain Training for Dogs, and the author of numerous dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is vital to the mental health and well-being of your dog. It keeps their bodies healthy and fit and can lower the risk of hip dysplasia, heart disease or obesity-related diseases such as cancer or diabetes.
You will also keep them engaged and happy. Exercise together strengthens your relationship and promotes socialization.
If a dog is not mentally challenged their brain may get cluttered with time. They may begin to chew on objects, scratch furniture, or bark a lot.
Training can help you avoid these problems, and improve your dog’s behavior with other dogs and humans. In some cases, it can even save your pet’s life!
Mental exercise can also slow down the beginning of memory loss as well as dementia. It aids in the creation of new neural connections in the brain and helps protect existing nerve cells from degeneration.
Play the Game
If you are looking for an easy way to help your dog get mental stimulation games are the ideal way to go. These games are also a great option to keep dogs fit and as active as they once were or dogs recovering from an injury or operation.
Simple brain games can be played in a small area like a garden or house. For instance, hide small pieces of your dog’s favorite food in places around the house (or outside when it’s warm enough) and let them go hunting for it.
These brain games can be played for a few minutes at a time. They give your dog an enjoyable mental exercise while you are training them. This helps them to learn faster and remain mentally sharp. This can aid in improving their ability to concentrate on commands and improve their connection with their pet.
Treats
One of the most important ways to train your dog is to give them treats. This is a great method to increase the effectiveness of obedience training as well as to stimulate their brains. However, you should be careful not to overdo it.
During training, it’s crucial to follow your instructions and treat only when your dog has complied with the instructions properly. This will ensure that you don’t send mixed signals and confuse your dog.
Puzzle games, toys and mental exercise are some of the most requested choices for dogs that train their brains. These toys are a great method to keep dogs active mentally and help them build confidence.
Put treats in different containers or cups. This is among the most played brain games for dogs. The dog must guess what container they’re supposed be in, and if they’re correct give them an edible treat.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your pup has the confidence, adaptability and the ability to deal with new situations. Socialization plays a vital role in this process.
In the first few years, puppies must be exposed to a variety of animals and people and also different environments. If they do not get these experiences they may become nervous and fearful.
They could even develop undesirable behaviours like aggression and fear of heights.
The positive side is that socialization can alleviate these problems and make life with your dog more enjoyable.
If your puppy is constantly yelling at other dogs, then playing with them for a prolonged period will teach them to control their bite.
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 also important to start small and then gradually progress to bigger challenges over time.
