Mental Stimulation
We often hear the phrase, "a tired dog, is a happy dog," but that is not always the case. A fulfilled and tired dog is a happy dog. What does this mean? This means that in addition to being physically tired, your dog should be mentally tired and have biological fulfillment. For example, herding breeds may not have access to herding sheep or farm animals, but they can use a herding ball in order to fill their biological drive.
