Brain Training for Dogs Review: Inside the
Course
Introduction
This is the very foundation of all that you’ll learn, the very first step in the process. You’ll
get to know Adrienne and her background, her certificates, as well as her way of
training. There’s also a quick introduction to the course, which emphasizes the
importance of bonding with your dog through games and providing him with mental
stimulation.
Next in this module, you’ll go over the structure of the course. Basically, your dog will
have to go through multiple levels, which are arranged from the easiest to the hardest.
Each level has its own passing grade. Most people will start at the Preschool level,
where they can teach their dog or puppy basic skills and ultimately prepare him for the
next tasks. The grades are determined by the time it takes for your dog to complete a
task. Only when your dog passes the minimum grade at one level is he ready to move
on to the next.
You’ll also be able to see the items that are required to finish each training. Most of the
exercises only require some kind of food or dog treats to reward your dog. The rest of
the items are optional or can be replaced with common household items.
To sum up this module, there’s a whole class on clicker training and how to use a
clicker to mark a wanted behavior. Although you don’t have to use a clicker to follow this
course, there are some benefits to it that will be explained in this lesson.
Obedience 101
This part of the course teaches basic obedience training. We’re talking about simple
commands such as “sit”, “leave it”, “stay”, etc. However, these skills are required in
order to tackle most behavior problems in dogs, as well as for teaching your dog some
of the brain games in this course. The emphasis here is on developing patience and
impulse control.
Training Tips
This section is dedicated to helping you perfect your training methods and making sure
your dog isn’t overly dependent on food lures and heavy hand gestures. Instead, you’ll
learn how to add verbal cues, so your dog can still perform the behaviors you thought
him, even when you don’t hold a yummy piece of chicken in your hand.
