Keep senior dogs busy with these quick tips on training, stimulation, and companionship.
Could your canine senior sweetie be … bored? While dogs certainly do love routine, they also benefit from the mental stimulation that comes from learning something new or having new experiences.
So, while we may think our older dogs are content to kick back more and interact less, in reality, the opposite is true. Their senses may not be quite as sharp as they once were, and they may not move as quickly, but having fun with their people is still a thrill. Moreover, it’s a thrill that can have a positive payback by helping them maintain their cognitive agility as they age. A little time and effort on your part will pay big and ongoing dividends in the overall quality of your dog’s life.
