How to Stimulate Your Dog's Mind
·5 mins
Dogs have a natural need to use their mouths to gnaw, lick, rip apart and explore
items or objects around them. This need is a separate reservoir of energy, which
needs a natural outlet on a daily basis. Even if the dog is properly exercised,
their mind needs activation and work as well. If dogs are not directed towards
meaningful, allowed activity, it can turn into destructive behavior or even
apathy.
Playing with Your Dog with the Help of an Activation Toy #
Based on reader feedback, we turn our attention to toys and activities which will help you play with your dog in a way that challenges their mind. Why we say play with, is that activation toys, like food, should be used to strengthen your role as your dog’s leader and access to the toys you use to play with her should be controlled by you.
