Play the Game
If you’re seeking a simple way to provide your dog with mental stimulation, games are the best way to go. They can also be an excellent way to exercise dogs that aren’t able do as much physical exercise as they used to or for dogs recovering from an injury or operation.
Certain brain games for dogs are simple to prepare, and all can be done in small spaces like the garden or house. For example, hide pieces of your dog’s most loved treat in places around the house (or outside in the warmer weather) and let them go hunting for it.
These brain games can be played for a few minutes at a time. They provide your dog with a fun mental workout while you train them. This helps them to learn faster and stay mentally sharp. This can help them improve their ability to concentrate on their commands and strengthen their relationship with their owners.
Treats
One of the most effective ways to train your dog is to reward them with treats. 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 this.
When you train, it is vital to be consistent with your instructions. Only reward them if they follow the instructions properly. This will prevent sending confusing signals and causing confusion to your dog.

Socialization
As a dog owner it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog has confidence, adaptability and the ability to cope with new situations. In this process the importance of socialization.
During the first few years of their lives, young puppies need to be exposed to different kinds of animals, people, and environments. Without exposure to these things they may become nervous and fearful.
Many may develop negative behavior, like fear or aggression.
The positive side is that socialization can alleviate these issues and make life with your pup more enjoyable.
