Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs, a new course, combines dog training and stimulation to unleash the inherent intelligence of your dog. When this happens, problem behavior is reduced and more enjoyable behaviors erupt in their place.
The program was created by Adrienne Farricelli who is a CPDT-KA dog trainer with a wealth of experience in modifying behavior of dogs. She is the creator of Brain Training for Dogs, and the author of numerous dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is essential to the mental well-being and wellbeing of your dog. It keeps them fit and healthy and can reduce the risk of heart disease, hip dysplasia or obesity-related illnesses such as cancer, diabetes or diabetes.
It will also keep them entertained and happy. Exercise together can strengthen your relationship and promotes socialization.
The brain of a dog can become cluttered and dull over time if they don’t experience mental stimulation. They may start chewing on things or scratch furniture.
Training can help avoid these problems and improves your dog’s behavior when it comes to other dogs and humans. In some instances it may even save your dog’s life!
Mental exercise can also reduce the process of onset memory loss and dementia. It aids in the formation of new brain connections and also protects nerve cells against degeneration.
Games
If you are looking for a simple method to provide your dog with mental stimulation, games are the best way to go. They are also a good exercise for dogs that aren’t able do as much physical exercise as they used to or for dogs who are recovering from an injury or surgery.
Simple brain games can be played in a small area like a backyard or house. Put pieces of your dog’s favorite food in the inside the house or outside in the warmer weather. Let them hunt for it.
Brain games can be fun and can be played for just an hour or so each time. They also help your dog remain mentally sharp while you train them. This helps them to learn more quickly and remain sharp. This can also aid in improving their ability to concentrate on their commands and strengthen their relationship with their owners.
Treats
Treats are an excellent way to teach your dog. This is a great method to reinforce their training and stimulate their brains. However, you need to be careful not to overdo it.
During training it is important to be consistent with your instructions. Only reward them when they follow the instructions properly. This will help prevent your dog from getting confused by confusing signals.
Puzzle toys, games and mental exercises are just a few of the most sought-after options for dogs who are brain-training. These toys are an excellent method to keep dogs mentally active and help them build confidence.
Put treats in different cups or containers. This is one of the most played brain games for dogs. The dog has to guess which container the treat supposed to be placed in and if they are correct they’ll be rewarded.
Socialization
As a dog owner it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog has self-confidence, flexibility and the ability to cope with new situations. Socialization plays an important role in this process.
In the initial few years of their life, puppies need to be exposed to various kinds of animals, people and different environments. They can be scared or anxious in the absence of exposure to these things.
They may even exhibit bad behaviors such as aggression and phobias.
The good news is that socialization can alleviate these issues and make life with your pup more enjoyable.
If your puppy is causing trouble for other dogs, then allowing them to play with them for a long period of time will teach them to bite inhibition.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in different settings will aid in reducing the anxiety of separation, or temper tantrums when you go to work. It’s important to start off small, and then work your way up to larger issues over time.
