Play Fun Games With Your Dogs and Puppies to Help Increase Intelligence

You have a new puppy. Training your puppy should begin as soon as he or she enters your door (of course after a short period of time in which you allow puppy to settle in and explore the new environment).

Playing fun games with your dog or new puppy is the most obvious way of building a relationship. Another great advantage to playing fun games is that it truly makes your dog "smarter." These kind of games are called "cognitive stimulation." 

In this article I will introduce to you a few cognitive stimulation games designed to make  your dog smarter as well as improve your personal relationship together. They are easy for you and your dog to learn and play.

The Eye Contact Game teaches your dog to give you eye contact. It has been said by dog experts that teaching your dog to make good eye contact releases oxytocin in both you and your dog. It is like forming an attachment with your dog the same as if he or she was your child.

Step 1: Hold a tasty and nutritious treat to  your forehead or by your eye and ask your dog to look at you.

Step 2: Gradually fade the food to use a hand signal and a verbal command to ask your dog to look at you.

This fun game also helps you to get your dog's attention when he is distracted, which is a very useful tool that helps to ensure his safety.

Make changes to a routine walk with your dog or puppy. Start off going in a different direction or making a right turn when you normally make a left turn. Go up and down hills you previously did not explore. Expose your dog to new sights, smells and sounds.

The hot and cold game utilizes verbal communication and vocal tone to help your dog find a hidden treat or toy. 

Step 1: Hide the treat or toy

Step 2: Use a calm tone for cold if your dog moves away from the hidden treat. Use a more upbeat or excited tone for hot as your dog gets closer to the hidden treat. With this game you hope to improve the dog's listening skills and build a special language shared just between you and your dog.

To improve your dog's reasoning skills, play the treat on the string game.

Step 1: Tie a ribbon or small rope to a treat. Hide the treat under a small object or platform or piece of furniture. Hide the treat far enough back so that he cannot reach the treat with his mouth or paw. 

Step 3: Encourage your dog to investigate. See how long it takes for him to tug on the string to retrieve the treat.

You want your dog or puppy to develop reasoning skills to boost his confidence in problem solving, thus creating greater intelligence.

There are many more fun games you can play with your dog or puppy to help develop a close relationship between you both as well as to create greater intelligence in  your dog. Build a library full of mind games you can play with Fido. 

For treats, I suggest using the Life's Abundance Tasty Rewards Nutritional Treats.

Good behavior should be rewarded, but often training treats are empty-calorie treats with no nutritive value and include undesirable ingredients. At Life's Abundance, we strongly believe that you should only feed treats that can help to support overall health.

Tasty Rewards are wholesome nutritional treats made from New Zealand-raised lamb and chicken.

They’re loaded with proteins, minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids. And, like all of our foods, supplements and treats, you’ll find no added artificial preservatives or colors.

With Tasty Rewards Nutritional Treats, discipline can be delicious!

If  you raise puppies, the type of food  you feed and send your puppies home on is a crucial decision. Be ahead of your competition and develop a reputation of feeding the highest quality of food you most possibly can. We no longer have to rely on commercial dog foods prepared in large quantities and stockpiled. We can feed our pets fresh food everyday.

And even better is to feed dog products that will give you a "return" in money to the point you end up feeding your crew for FREE. Become a Life's Abundance Rep and feed your own crew using your down line and customer's residual income.

You will end up with a customer base that will put money back into your pocket that translates into eventually getting your dog products for FREE.

Continue adding reps under you and build your residual income for a lifetime while you raise puppies. When you are no longer able to raise puppies, perform dog training sessions, groom dogs, etc., a Life's Abundance business keeps you in the dog community helping dogs to live longer and healthier lives and continues to give you a residual income to spend on vacations, unexpected expenses, help you make ends meet in retirement and more. 

If Charity work with animals is something you love to do, you also gain by using Life's Abundance products. Using the Life's Abundance products is an excellent way of "giving back" to the pet community. Charitable work is at the core of the Life's Abundance mission. Every order placed contributes to homeless animals. The work is done through the non-profit branch of Life's Abundance.

There has never been a time in our history as it is today with technology at our fingertips to help us build 6 figure and higher incomes with a network marketing business.
