whether NEW BUILD or RENOVATIONS QUALITY Physical and mental stimulation are also
important for dogs, and doing things such as basic training scent games,‘jobs’such as agility or running,and engaged, interactive play are some examples of how to keep your dog mentally stimulated. It is also important to ensure training sessions end on a high note to help encourage their learning and nurture the human-animal bond”. For animals that can’t go for a run, you need to be sure their environ- ment has plenty of enrichment, such as things to climb, to chew on or to investigate for birds, or burrowing material or pet-safe wheels to run on for hamsters.
With the ongoing pandemic,many pets have become used to having their people around all day long, and some socializing opportunities have been
diminished.Doggy daycares and obedience classes are still running, which provide great opportunities for your dog to socialize with other dogs,and Lupton and Eggebrecht recommend you take any new dog to an obedience class.Once your dog is fully-vaccinated, you can also take them on walks to explore new environments and see people from a distance. Kennel training can help decrease separation anxiety, along with physi- cal and mental
exercise.Behaviour training at home can help pets associ- ate positive things with unpleasant moments, such as you leaving for work.
