Episode Notes

Alright—let's talk about your dog. You love them, obviously. But the barking? The chewing? That selective hearing whenever you call their name? Yeah, not so cute anymore.

Here's the good news: your dog isn't stubborn—they're just bored. And the real fix might not be stricter discipline or longer walks. It's unlocking their brainpower.

No, seriously. Your dog’s brain is like soft plastic—what scientists call neuroplasticity. It means they can keep learning and adapting at any age. And that's exactly what the folks over at Calm Obedient Dog are tapping into with their brain training program.

It's created by Adrienne Farricelli—a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) with over a decade of experience. Her program is built around mental stimulation games that address all the behaviors that drive you nuts: barking, jumping, chewing, even aggression.

We're not talking about dominance or punishment here. This is science-backed, force-free, positive reinforcement training—and it works.

Studies show dogs trained with reward-based methods learn faster, behave better, and bond more deeply with their humans. And Farricelli's system? It runs like a school. Seriously.

You've got Preschool for eye contact and focus games; Elementary for treasure hunts and ball pit fun; High School for impulse control and calm-down drills; all the way to Einstein Level where your dog's doing advanced tricks—yes, including playing piano on cue (not even kidding).

Each level builds on the last, and each game is designed to keep your dog mentally engaged and emotionally balanced. So if you've been dealing with chewing, poor recall, anxiety, digging, or just general mayhem—this program's designed to fix it.

So if you're tired of yelling "No!" every five minutes... If you've tried traditional training and still feel stuck... It might be time to try something smarter.

You don't need a miracle. You just need to speak your dog's language. Check out the Brain Training for Dogs program by clicking on the link in the description. calm obedient dog City: Bethpage Address: P.O. BOX 1192 Website: https://calmobedientdog.com/
