Exercise

They will also be active and content. Exercising together will increase your bond and encourage socialization.
If a dog is not mentally stimulated, their brain can get cluttered with time. They may begin to chew on furniture or scratch things.
Training can help prevent these issues, as well as improve your dog’s behavior with other dogs as well as with other people. In some cases it can save your dog’s very life!
Mental exercising can also help to slow down the beginning of memory loss as well as dementia. It helps to create new brain connections and helps protect existing nerve cells from deterioration.
Play the Game
Games are an excellent option to give your dog a mental stimulation. These games can also be a great way to keep dogs active, even if they aren’t as active as they used to be, or dogs recovering from an injury or operation.
Simple brain games can be played in a tiny space like a garden or house. For instance, place pieces of your dog’s most loved treat in different areas around the home (or outside when it’s warm enough) and let them go hunting for it.
Brain games can be fun and can be played for just a few minutes each time. They also help your dog stay mentally sharp while you train them. This helps them to learn faster and remain sharp. They can also increase their ability to focus on instructions, and it can improve their relationship with you.
Treats
Treats are an excellent way to help train your dog. This is a fantastic method to increase the effectiveness of obedience training, and also to stimulate their brains. You should be cautious to not overdo this.
When you train, it is vital to follow your instructions. Only reward them when they follow the directions correctly. This will prevent sending confusing signals and causing confusion to your dog.
The most popular brain training options for dogs include games, puzzles, and mental exercises. They’re a great way to keep your dog mentally active while giving them a chance to increase their confidence.
One of the most beloved brain games for dogs involves hiding treats in different containers or cups. The dog is required to guess what container they’re supposed be under and, if they’re right, reward them with an edible treat.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog has 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 lives, puppies need to be exposed to various kinds of animals, people, and different environments. Without exposure to these things they could become nervous and fearful.
Some might even develop negative behaviors, like aggression or phobias.
The positive side is that socialization could help ease these issues and make life with your pup more enjoyable.
If your puppy is rough-mouthing other dogs, playing with them for a prolonged period will teach them to control their bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in a variety of environments will aid in reducing stress and anxiety around separation, as well as temper tantrums when you leave to go to work. It’s essential to start small and gradually work up to bigger challenges over time.
