Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a brand-new course, uses mental stimulation and dog training to unlock the inherent intelligence of your dog. When this happens, problematic behaviors disappear and more desirable behaviors erupt in their place.
The program is 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 several dog-training books.
Exercise
Exercise is vital to dogs’ mental health and wellbeing. It can keep them healthy and fit, and reduce the risk of heart disease hip dysplasia and obesity-related ailments like diabetes or cancer.
It will also keep them active and content. Exercise together strengthens your bond and encourages socialization.
If a dog isn’t mentally stimulated their brains can get cluttered with time. They might begin to chew on things or scratch furniture.
Training helps prevent these problems and can improve your dog’s behavior around other dogs and humans. In some instances, it could save your dog’s very life!
Mental exercise can also slow down the onset memory loss and dementia. It aids in the formation of new brain connections and also protects nerve cells against degeneration.
Play the Game
If you are looking for a simple method to provide your dog with mental stimulation, games are the best way to go. These games can also be a great way to keep dogs fit and as active as they used to be or dogs recovering from an operation or injury.
Certain brain games for dogs are simple to prepare, and all can be done in small spaces such as the garden or house. For instance, hide small pieces of your dog’s favorite treat in different areas around the home (or outside when it’s warm enough) and let them search for 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 remain mentally sharp. They can also improve their ability to focus on instructions, and it can strengthen their bond with you.
Treats
One of the most important ways to train your dog is to use treats. This can be a good way to reinforce obedience training, as well as to stimulate their brains. It is important to be cautious and not overdo this.
In training, it’s essential to follow your commands and treat only when your dog has complied with the instructions correctly. This will keep your dog from becoming confused by confusing signals.
Some of the most popular brain training options for dogs include games, puzzles and mental exercises. These toys are an excellent way to keep dogs active mentally and to help them build confidence.
Place treats in different cups or containers. This is among the most popular brain games for dogs. The dog must guess what container they’re supposed be under If they’re able to guess correctly then reward them with the reward of a treat.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog has ability to adapt, confidence and capability to deal with any situation. Socialization plays an important role in this process.
In the early years, puppies have to be exposed to a variety of animals and humans, and also different environments. They may be anxious or fearful in the absence of exposure to these situations.
Some people may even develop negative behaviors, such as aggression or phobias.
Socialization can ease these issues and make life easier for your dog.
For instance, if you find that your puppy is known to be rough with other dogs, providing them plenty of time to play with them will teach them bite inhibition.
The ability to let your dog interact with people, other pets and in different environments can help reduce temperamental or separation anxiety when you go to work. It is important to start small and gradually work your way up to bigger challenges as you go along.
