Top 3 Brain Games to Teach Dogs SELF CONTROL

In this video, we share 3 brain training games that help teach your dog to develop better self control. The games are simple, easy and fun: even puppies can learn them! We have used these games to train our own dogs, and have seen amazing results. Here we will show you how we taught our two Australian Shepherd mixes how to: take food gently from our hands, wait for a cue before eating, and NOT bolt out the door! Time stamps for if you want to skip ahead to the games: 1:29 - the Airplane game 3:10 - the Mouse game 4:57 - the Doorway game (Bonus: @ 1:10 - Maui as a puppy!!!) One of the great things about training games is that they really engage the dog's brain, and make them think for themselves. We can use these games to create new neural pathways in our dogs, that will actually lead them to become better decision makers. The skills and concepts that they learn during these games can create new default behaviors, and soon we start seeing our dogs exhibit patience and control in situations where previously they might have totally run amok. One of our dogs (Maui) has proven to be very challenging to train. She is basically the reason we decided to go to dog school and start becoming trainers. The traditional training techniques that we knew from the past simply were just not working well with our new sensitive pup. So we sought out a better way, and discovered concept training, a cutting-edge new approach to positive reinforcement dog training. It has been an absolute miracle, and we want to share our experiences so we can help other dog lovers to have the best life that they can with their dogs.
