5 ways to keep your dog's brain fit and healthy

Quick Links
1. Make old things new
2. Treasure hunt
Getting your dog to use their nose to find hidden treasure is a great way to stimulate their brain. To start out, hide a treat somewhere obvious, letting them watch as you do so. Then give them the cue to go find the tasty snack, rewarding them with lots of praise when they get it right.
Once your dog understands the game, you can then ramp up the difficulty. Hide treats or toys in another room, or in a spot where other scents mask it such as at the bottom of the laundry bin or under their food dish. You can also make the game more challenging by setting up cardboard boxes of different sizes and, without your dog seeing, placing the reward in only one box. Then let your dog investigate all of them and provide the treat when they select the correct box.
3. Hide-and-seek
4. Play like a dog
5. Switch up your walks
