Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a brand-new course, uses dog training and stimulation to unlock the natural intelligence of your dog. As this happens, the problematic behaviors disappear and more desirable behaviors erupt in their place.
The program is designed by Adrienne Farricelli who is a certified CPDT-KA trainer with a wealth of training in dog behavior modification. She is also the creator of Brain Training for Dogs and author of several dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is essential to the mental health and well-being of your dog. It helps keep them fit and healthy and reduce the risk of heart diseases, hip dysplasia, or obesity-related diseases like cancer or diabetes.
They will also be entertained and happy. Exercising together will improve your bond and increase socialization.
If a dog is not mentally stimulated their brains can get cluttered over time. They may begin chewing on furniture or scratch things.
Training can help avoid these issues, as well as improve your dog’s behavior when it comes to other dogs as well as with other people. In some cases, it can even save your pet’s life!
Mental exercise can also reduce the progression of memory loss and dementia. It helps create new brain connections and also protects nerve cells from degeneration.
Games
If you’re looking for a way to give your dog mental stimulation, games are the best way to go. These games can also be a great way to get your dog exercising if they’re not as active as they were or dogs recovering from an injury or operation.
Simple brain games can be played in a small space like a garden or house. For example, hide pieces of your dog’s favorite food in places around the house (or outside when it’s warm enough) and let them search for it.
These brain games can be played for a short period at a time and can provide your dog with an enjoyable mental workout while you are training them. This helps them to learn faster and remain mentally sharp. This can also aid in improving their ability to focus on commands and strengthen their relationship with their owners.
Treats
One of the most effective methods to teach your dog to reward them with treats. This can be a good way to boost obedience training, and also to stimulate their brains. You should be cautious to not overdo this.
During training, it’s important to be consistent with your instructions and treat only when your dog has followed the instructions properly. This will help prevent your dog from being confused by mixed signals.
Some of the most popular ways to train your dog’s brain include games, puzzles, and mental exercises. These toys are an excellent method to keep dogs active mentally and help them gain confidence.
One of the most lovable dog games that involves brains is hiding treats in different containers or cups. The dog is required to guess what container the treat is supposed to be in and if they are correct they are awarded a reward.
Socialization
As a dog owner, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your dog is comfortable, well-adjusted, and able to cope with new situations. Socialization is a crucial factor in this process.
During their first few years, puppies have to be introduced to all types of animals and humans, and also different environments. They can become fearful or anxious when they aren’t exposed to these situations.
They might even develop bad behaviors such as aggression and phobias.
The positive side is that socialization can help ease these issues and make life with your dog more enjoyable.
If your puppy is constantly yelling at other dogs, the act of letting them play with them for long periods will teach them to bite inhibition.
The ability to let your dog interact with people, other pets and different settings can also curb their anger or separation anxiety when you go to work. It’s crucial to start small, and then work your way into bigger challenges over time.
