20 Ideas that will cost you nothing and will get your dog’s brain engaged.

Mental Stimulation is a vital for your dog. Here are some of the benefits of providing a brain workout for your dog:

• Prevents Boredom

• Reduces energy levels and is a low impact outlet for growing pups or elderly dogs

• Prevents cognitive dysfunctions as they age

• Relieves stress 

• Reduces anxiety

• Gives them an opportunity to practice appropriate destructiveness - one of the biggest reasons for rehoming is because the dog is destroying their house.

• Ideal time for relationship building/ bonding time

• Prevents behaviour problems as well as reducing them!

This should be part of your dog’s daily routine but at the very least 3 times a week!
