I’m currently researching how the canine brain works and what we know and imagine our best pals are thinking 🤔. It’s fascinating! Did you know that a dog called Ninja was trained to stay still enough for an MRI! . I’ll let you know when I’ve published my findings… But I’m the meantime tell me what your dog is thinking right now. . . #dogthoughts #dogthoughts🐶 #dogthoughtsoftheday #dogthoughtsthursday #dogthoughts💭 #dogthinking #caninemind #dogbrain #frenchiefun #frenchiephotos #frenchiebulldog #frenchieofinstagram #frenchiecrew #pawsomefrenchies #frenchiestyle #instafrenchies #frenchiemoments — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2WoFcsI

💡We all know that dogs get bored easily, but it can be hard to find ways to keep them entertained. This is where the destruction box comes in handy! . 📦A DIY brain game for your dog, a destruction box is a cardboard box filled with scrunched up paper, egg boxes and toilet rolls that contain hidden treats. 🐶 . Dogs use their noses and brains to forage for the treats in the box providing food, mental and physical enrichment. . You'll always have a collection of stuff that you can use, pretty much anything from your recycling pile can become a destruction box toy. . 🧀Providing food enrichment combined with mental stimulation is a great boredom buster for your dog. Sniffing and brain games will tire them out quicker than a walk and is ideal for puppies and active breeds like Border Collies. . 😁Problem-solving games like the destruction box can also help prevent other behaviour problems. . 💁🏼‍♀️I like to increase the level challenge and extend the fun by putting smaller boxes inside the main box, egg boxes are great for this. . Comment 'DOGBOX' below and I'll message you the link for all the info on how to create and use a Destruction Box for your dog. . . . . 💕 Hashtag #lifewithpets to be featured 🛍 Shop - https://ift.tt/3s8GuUE 🇬🇧 Award winning British products ♻️ Eco friendly packaging 💁🏼‍♀️ Animal Behaviourist and Top 10 Pet Blogger 👆🏻 Follow me for enrichment games, toys, recipes and more 🐶 🐱🐰🐎🐢🐀🦜🐓🐍🐠🐹🐭🐮🐷🐸🦎 . . . . #destructionbox #destructionboxes #diyenrichment #diyenrichmenttoys #diyenrichmentideas #diyenrichmentfordogs #diyenrichmenttoy #dogenrichment #dogenrichmenttoys #dogenrichmentactivities #dogenrichmentideas #dogenrichmenttips #dogenrichmentactivites #dogenrichmentday #dogenrichmentforanyage #dogenrichmentmovement #dogenrichmentnonfood #canineenrichment #canineenrichmentgames #canineenrichmentideas #canineenrichmentjoy #canineenrichmentspecialist #canineenrichmentadvice #canineenrichmentexercises #canineenrichmentmission #canineenrichmentnonfood #canineenrichmentpuppytraining — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3y2DiLu

🐾Is your dog is left or right pawed? 🐾 Let me know in the comments.... Dogs are amazing animals. Our canine friends have a brain that is composed of hemispheres, just like ours and it isn’t uncommon for dogs to show signs of one-sidedness and as such they can either be right or left pawed. ✋🏻This is what we call “handedness”, the scientific term is “laterality”. 🐾 Paw preference in dogs relates to where activity in the brain is controlled: for the left, it’s in the right hemisphere; for the right it’s in the left hemisphere. Because each hemisphere handles different emotions and processes information differently, this could affect the personality and behaviour of your dog. One study indicated that potential Guide Dogs have a higher success rate when they are right-pawed, however more research would need to be completed before any definitive correlations can be made. Another study showed that ambilateral dogs exhibit less aggression towards strangers. In the same study it was found that the left-pawed dogs exhibited aggressive behaviour the most often. Although, of course, paw preference is not the sole indicator of aggression, there are many other factors at play so this is inconclusive. 💬Comment below with the word PAWS and I'll send you our fun games to see whether your dog is left or right pawed. . . . . . 💕 Hashtag #lifewithpets to be featured 🛍 Shop - https://ift.tt/3s8GuUE 🇬🇧 Award winning British products ♻️ Eco friendly packaging 💁🏼‍♀️ Animal Behaviourist and Top 10 Pet Blogger 👆🏻 Follow me for enrichment games, toys, recipes and more 🐶 🐱🐰🐎🐢🐀🦜🐓🐍🐠🐹🐭🐮🐷🐸🦎 . . . . #lefthandersday #happyinternationallefthandersday #internationallefthandersday #nationallefthandersday #worldlefthandersday #happylefthandersday #lefthanded #dogpaws #dogpawster #doglover #fluffypaws #cutepaws #pawstagram #pawsthatwonder #pawsome #lifewithpets #lifewithpetsisthebest #petblogger #petenrichment #petinfluencer — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3jU20J0

🐈Cats love to watch the world around them, their little heads tilting and turning as they take in their surroundings, but do cats like watching cat videos on youtube, or the tv? 💁🏼‍♀️ Cats respond to moving images on screens which leads scientists to believe that cats enjoy the visual stimulation provided. 📺Videos representing the natural world keep a cat’s instincts sharp. Studies show that cats watching videos actually improves a cat’s well being. 🦉When your cat is not sleeping on your favourite pillow or meowing for some food you will probably find them sitting on the window sill watching the birds outside. Without visual enrichment they would go a bit stir crazy. An experiment once demonstrated that a cat confined to a room without a window, but with a tv playing videos of natural cat prey animals, showed signs of improved wellbeing. ❓ So what will your cat want to binge watch? 💬Comment below CATTV to get some great videos to try!
