Brain Training For Dogs
Brain Training for Dogs is a new course that combines mental stimulation and training to help unlock your dog’s natural intelligence. This will cause problematic behaviors to fade away and be replaced by more desirable ones.
The program was designed by Adrienne Farricelli who is a certified CPDT-KA trainer with a wealth of training in dog behavior modification. She is the founder of Brain Training for Dogs, and author of many dog training books.
Exercise
Exercise is vital to the mental well-being and health of your dog. It keeps them healthy and fit. It can reduce the risk of hip dysplasia, heart disease or obesity-related ailments like cancer or diabetes.
It will also keep them interested and happy. Exercise together strengthens your relationship and helps to encourage socialization.
The dog’s brain may become cluttered and dull in time if they don’t get mentally challenged. They might begin to chew on objects or scratch furniture.
Training can help avoid these issues, as well as improve your dog’s behavior when it comes to other dogs and people. In some instances it may even save your pet’s life!
Mental exercise can also slow down 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
Games are a great option for providing your dog mental stimulation. These games are also a great option to keep dogs fit and as active as they once were or recovering from injuries or operations.
Simple brain games can be played in a small area such as a garden or a house. For instance, hide small pieces of your dog’s favourite food in the areas around the house (or outside if it’s warm enough) and let them go hunting for it.
These brain games are entertaining and can be played for just a few minutes each time. They can also help your dog to remain focused and sharp as you train them. This helps them to learn more quickly and remain sharp. They also increase their ability to focus on the instructions and can increase their connection with you.
Treats
Treats are an excellent way to help train your dog. This can be an effective method to increase the effectiveness of obedience training and also to stimulate their brains. You must be careful to not overdo it.
During training it is important to follow your commands. Only reward them if they follow the instructions correctly. This will help avoid sending mixed signals, which can confuse your dog.
Some of the most sought-after methods of training dogs’ brains include games, puzzles and mental exercises. They’re a great way to keep your dog’s brain active as well as giving them the chance to improve their confidence.
One of the most adorable dog brain games involves placing treats under various containers or cups. The dog must guess the container in which the treat is supposed to be in and, if it’s correct they are awarded a reward.
Socialization
As a dog’s owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your dog has confidence, flexibility and the ability to cope with any situation. In this process the importance of socialization.
During the first few years of their lives, young puppies need to be exposed to different types of people, animals, and different environments. They may be scared or anxious if they are not exposed to these kinds of situations.
Some people may even develop negative behaviors, like aggression or phobias.
The good news is that socialization could help alleviate these problems and make life with your pup more enjoyable.
For instance, if your puppy has rough mouthing with other dogs, providing them plenty of time to play with them will teach them bite inhibition.
Your dog should be able to interact with other pets, people and different settings can help to reduce temper tantrums or separation anxiety when you leave for work. It’s important to start small, and then work your way up to larger problems over time.
