Mental stimulation is as important as physical activity to a dog's well-being. In BRAIN GAMES FOR DOGS, Arrowsmith reviews basic training skills (positive methods, ground rules, determining what motivates your dog), then explains how to incorporate mental challenges and learning into everyday activities. Icons for each game indicate whether it's interactive, solo or group; where it can be played; level of difficulty; and what props or toys are needed. Games from easy (Tunnel Dashing) to advanced (Skateboarding) are sorted into categories such as Verbal Games, Water Games, Games for Less-Active Dogs, and clearly illustrated with step-by-step photos. This compendium of fun games, tricks and activities to enjoy with your dog will provide a top-quality mental and physical workout.

I have three large dogs who already do most of the brain games. These were tricks that can be introduced to young dogs. I will pass it along to someone with a new puppy

This has lots of great ideas for beginners, however I was looking for something a little more advanced with some new ideas.

This is an excellent book. Very descriptive, and endless hours of fun for you and your dog. My dog especially loved the 'find it' game and it has evolved into a full blown find it through the whole house. SHe loves it!
