Publisher's Synopsis
A rewarding part of dog ownership is successfully training your dog. Training is an excellent way to bond with your dog and will help you build a good relationship with them.
In this book you will not only learn tricks to teach your dog but also his brain and how it correlates with the humans:
- Learn interactive games to teach your dog, on his own turf where he is most likely to be comfortable. Having a Ball: The Muffin Tin Game is a great indoor game that helps your dog exercise his memory. For the backyard, Brainy Tug of War is a favorite that encourages him to follow various commands while getting physical exercise and having fun as well.
- Word Games for dogs are excellent to help your pooch stretch his vocabulary which is very important because the verbal auditory part of the brain is one that you and your dog both share so keeping it in tip-top shape helps ensure a strong bond between the two of you.
- These dog tricks can be done in very small spaces like tiny apartments or in the garden. Bowling Fetch is an especially fun game as well as Garden Brain Games. Both train your dog in order to exercise his listening skills and following instructions.
- Scent games give your dog the upper hand since that is a prime part of his brain. The games detailed in this book will incorporate his excellent sense of smell with problem-solving exercises, memory, and other learning skills.
- Take the lessons to the water if your dog loves the lake or pond. You can even do them on the beach. Water Logged Tricks and Water Fetch add an extra twist to brain games in that they are done within the water, adding an extra sensory effect in the mix.
