Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs is a fresh course that combines stimulation for the brain and training to unlock your dog’s inherent intelligence. When this happens behaviors diminish, and more desirable behavior emerges in their place.
The program is designed by Adrienne Farricelli an CPDT-KA dog trainer with a wealth of experience in canine behavior modification. She is the founder of Brain Training for Dogs, and is the author of a variety of dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is essential to the mental health and well-being of your dog. It can keep them fit and healthy and lower the risk of heart disease hip dysplasia or obesity-related diseases like diabetes or cancer.
It will also keep them engaged and happy. Exercise together strengthens your bond and encourages socialization.
If a dog is not mentally challenged their brains can become cluttered over time. They may start to chew on things, scratch up furniture or bark in excess.
Training can help prevent these issues, and also improve your dog’s interactions with other dogs as well as with other people. In some cases, it can save your dog’s very life!
Additionally, exercise can slow the onset of dementia and memory loss. It helps to create new connections in the brain and protects nerve cells from deterioration.
Games
Games are an excellent option to provide your dog mental stimulation. These games are also a great option to keep dogs active, even if they aren’t as active as they were or dogs recovering from an injury or operation.
Simple brain games can be played in a tiny space like a house or garden. Put pieces of your dog’s favourite food around the indoors or outdoors in warm weather. Let them hunt for it.
These brain games are enjoyable and can be played for just a few minutes each time. They also help your dog remain sharp in their minds while you train them. This helps them learn faster and stay mentally sharp. They also can improve their ability to focus on their commands and can improve their relationship with you.
Treats
Treats are a great method to train your dog. This can be a good way to reinforce obedience training as well as to stimulate their brains. However, you need to be careful not to overdo it.
During training, it’s important to follow through with your commands and treat only those who have followed the instruction correctly. This will ensure that you don’t send mixed signals and confuse your dog.
Puzzle games, toys and mental exercises are just a few of the most popular choices for dogs that train their brains. They’re an excellent way to keep your dog’s mind active while giving them a chance to increase their confidence.
Keep treats hidden in different containers or cups. This is one of the most popular brain games for dogs. The dog has to guess the container in which the treat is supposed to be in, and if it’s correct they’ll be rewarded.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog is secure and well-adjusted. He should also be able to deal with any new situation. In this process it is vital to socialize your dog.
In the early years of their life, puppies must be exposed to various types of animals, people, and different environments. If they are not exposed to these things they could become anxious and fearful.
They might even develop bad behaviours like aggression and fear of heights.
The good news is that socialization can alleviate these problems and make life with your dog more enjoyable.
If your puppy is causing trouble for other dogs, then the act of letting them play with them for a long period of time will teach them to bite inhibition.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people and in a variety of environments will aid in reducing anxiety about separation or temper tantrums when you leave to go to work. It’s also important to start small and gradually work up to more challenging tasks over time.
