Well Exercised Dogs Are Smarter
“A strong body makes the mind strong…” ~ Thomas Jefferson Exercise not only develops a strong cardiovascular system and strengthen bones but is can stimulate brain growth! Not just in humans, but in our dogs! Anthropologist David A. Raichlen from the University of Arizona led out in research whose findings suggested that exercise helps the brain to grow, and boosts the body’s production of neurotrophins – chemicals that build and maintain brain cells.

Recent evidence demonstrates that it is even possible to grow new neural cells in important areas of the brain that are associated with learning, memory and the organization of behavior. We can actually change the physiology of our dog’s brain. By providing certain... Read MoreThe Dog’s Nose And Emotions

As you have read in my series the Dog’s Nose Knows, the dog’s brain is literally built by and around the information it recieves from scents. The sense of scent or smell is very closely linked to emotions. What this means is that the dog’s emotional experience may be even greater than we have ever imagined.
