It's a well-known fact that daily exercise is the key to maintaining your APBT's good health and happiness. But recent studies reveal that some activities have the added benefits of improving your Pitbull's ability to learn, as well as helping to get rid of many problem behaviors.
These specific activities are proven to:
✓ Lower aggression
✓ Alleviate boredom
✓ Lessen hyperactivity
✓ End destructive behavior
✓ And improve your dog's overall intelligence
Back in 2011, when I got my Pitbull, Taz, the biggest problem I had was his habit of chewing everything he could fit into his mouth. It was driving me nuts.
None of my daughter's toys were safe. It felt like every day she was crying her eyes out that the dog chewed up her doll or some other favorite toy she had. I remember even a little tricycle she had that had to be thrown out because Taz chewed the handlebars and pedals right off.
Now, according to reports, the #1 reason why Pitbulls get re-homed is because of destructive behavior. But I wasn't ready to give up on Taz yet. As annoying as his behavior was, he's a sweet dog, and we love him dearly.
Most of the info I found online spoke about discouraging bad behavior with a stern "No!". If you catch your dog chewing something they shouldn't, say "No!" then replace whatever they're chewing with a chew toy.
I'm sure that works great if you're always watching your dog. But my work schedule didn't allow that luxury.
One day, I stumbled on an article with an interesting recommendation for handling problem behaviors. It was a simple game that was supposed to stimulate dogs mentally. I know it sounds crazy, but here's the idea behind the method.
Many of us sit at a desk all day for work without much physical activity. Yet when we get home, we're exhausted and can't wait to throw ourselves on the couch.
This happens because of a thing called "Mental Fatigue." Doing physical labor isn't the only way to burn energy.
If you play sports, go jogging, or just run around for an entire day, your muscles need rest to recover. But when you're mentally fatigued, your brain got a workout and needs sleep to recover.
But here's where it gets interesting.
Just as muscles get stronger after a physical workout, your brain also gets stronger after a mental workout!
Does that make sense? Do you see how powerful this is!!?
Mental games for dogs have 2 main benefits:
1. They burn your dog's excess energy without having to leave the house.
2. They gradually improve your dog's intelligence, which will be really beneficial as your dog begins to age.
The training program "Brain Training For Dogs" will walk you through various mental games you can play with your dog. It isn't about teaching your dog new tricks like other training programs. It's about engaging your dog on a mental level. It will change everything when it comes to teaching your Pitbull new things.
I'm so excited about getting this program into the hands of Pitbull owners that I've put together a special offer for everyone who buys the program today. Here's what you'll get:
