Mental exercise can have more impact on the dog’s daily life even more than taking him on a good run. Mental exercise can be very simple and very beneficial. For instance, when you take them on a walk, don’t always go on the same rout. Also, allowing your dog to sniff a lot while they are on their walk and let them explore is very beneficial to them. The idea that your dog has to walk besides you on the walk is ridiculous. Especially when you think about that the dog is really wired to be out exploring the world around them. And they need that to function properly. Change up the way you feed them. Sometimes you put the food in the bowl but you make them sit and stay in some place new. Sometimes you hide the bowl. Sometime s you put it in a food toy. Sometimes you put them into a sit and stay in one room and put the food in another room.
