Would your dog need more activity in their life? Maybe you bring them on walks. Maybe you play fetch with them. Perhaps you play tug of war with them. But maybe there's more? In fact, there is more: brain stimulation. Brain stimulation is making their brain active, making their senses active, and developing those senses so that they have a more enriched and active brain. This helps with boredom, lowers stress levels, and is an overall brain workout for the doggo. We want smart dogs that use their brain and aren't at the bottom of the barrel. You can work with your dog by honing in on their developmental skills so they're not the dumbest dog in the dog park. This is great for not only lessening hyperactivity but lowering aggression in aggressive dogs and making your dog an overall happier animal. Now what can you do for brain stimulation? Things you can buy are puzzles for dogs where they have to work their little brains to get treats out of cubby holes. You can also buy lick mats where you can lather it up with safe peanut butter, safe coconut oil, bananas, blueberries, or frozen raw goat milk. You can actually freeze all of what I mentioned in the previous sentence for it to last longer as well. Kong even sells the classic Kong which you put treats in or frozen goodies inside of it where your dog would work to lick it out. Brain stimulation can even be something you don't have to buy. Getting your dog around other dogs or humans is a great way to stimulate their brain. Teaching your dog new tricks or even making a course in your backyard can help your dog out and give them a more fulfilled life. ![]() We all want a smart, happy, enriched dog that feels fulfilled in life. And you can reach this possibility with your dog. Just give it a try.
