These brain games can be played for a few minutes at a time. They can give your dog an enjoyable mental workout while you train them. This can help them to learn faster and remain mentally sharp.

Treats
Treats are a great way to help train your dog. This is a great way to boost obedience training, as well as to stimulate their brains. You should be cautious to not overdo this.
During training, it’s important to follow through with your commands and treat only when they have followed the instructions in a correct manner. This will help prevent your dog from being confused by mixed signals.
Puzzle toys, games and mental exercises are just a few of the most requested choices for dogs that train their brains. They’re an excellent way to keep your dog’s brain active while giving them the chance to build their confidence.
One of the most adorable dog games that involves brains is hiding treats in different containers or cups. The dog must guess what container they’re supposed be hiding under and, if they’re right you can reward them with the reward of a treat.
Socialization
As a dog’s proprietor, it’s your duty to ensure that your dog is calm and well-adjusted. They should also be able to adapt to new situations. Socialization is a crucial factor in this process.
During their first few years, puppies need to be exposed to different types of animals and people, as well as various environments. If they do not get these experiences they may become scared and anxious.
Some people may even develop negative behaviors, for example aggression or phobias.
Socialization can help ease these issues and make life easier for your dog.
If your puppy is causing trouble for other dogs, allowing them to play with them for a long time will teach them to be more cautious when they bite.
Socializing your dog with other dogs, people, and in different environments will aid in reducing separation anxiety, or temper tantrums after you leave to work. It’s important to begin small, and then progress to larger challenges as you progress.
