Puppies are learning from the time they are born. They are like little sponges absorbing every new sight, sound and experience, and owners should be encouraged to make the most of this period of rapid development by helping their pups to learn through play! Teaching through the enjoyment of simple games can help to build strong bonds between owner and puppy, introduce the basics of training, establish desirable long-term habits and prevent the development of many problems. This innovative new title aims to show owners of puppies how a routine of simple but enriching brain games can make a puppy a happier, healthier and more loving companion for life. Brain Games for Puppies is a brilliantly conceived compendium of fun games, tricks and activities that you can enjoy with your puppy that will help to teach it good manners from an early age.

Introduction

Play can benefit your relationship

Any activity that promotes positive emotional reactions will also benefit your (and your puppy’s) overall mental health. This, in turn, benefits physical health too. Extra play activity is also a great way to increase exercise levels which of course improves good health.

Brain Games for Puppies only employs reward-based teaching methods

Rewarding is not spoiling. This is a very important distinction to make. If your puppy is taught that rewards come from performing in a certain way, he is actually earning the ‘wage’. This is very different from being offered lots of food or praise for doing nothing, or for free.

The treat test can also be applied to toys, to that you can establish which are our puppy’s favourite playthings.
