  • Brain Boosting Activities for Dogs Use It Or Lose It
    Brain boosting activities for dogs Use it or lose it Just like us, our dogs need to exercise their brain as well as their body. Not using the brain enough can affect our dogs' cognitive functions and problem-solving skills. This is why physical exercise on its own is not enough. You, as a responsible dog owner, also need to provide mental stimulation for your dog. Most physical exercise also includes mental stimulation in the form of new smells and sights. However, additional mental stimulation is recommended to boost your dog's cognitive function and slow down the neurological (brain) signs of aging. Playing, learning new tricks, socializing, solving puzzles, exploring new territories are all excellent ways to boost your dog’s brain activities. It is important to start early on. Puppies are like babies. Their brain develops very fast during their first few months of life. The more mental stimulation they get, during those first crucial months, the better. Research has shown that using mentally stimulating toys for puppies reduces their risk of developing Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) later in life. 2 | P a g e It is however never too late to start exercising your dog’s brain. You can indeed 'teach an old dog new tricks'. It just takes longer. But it can still be as fun and rewarding for you and your dog. Even dogs suffering from CDS can benefit from learning new tasks (has been shown to improve their learning ability and memory). The five recommended brain boosting activities include physical exercise, physical training, mental training, playing games and using mentally stimulating toys.
