Our Cane Corso is lacking mental stimulation. What are some examples of things we can do to mentally stimulate her? Our trainer suggested adopting a second dog, but we can't afford it. Pet's info: Dog | Cane Corso | Female | spayed | 1 year and 6 months old | 103 lbs

Lots of play, walking, teach her tricks, obedience training, consider getting her a puzzle feeder so she has to 'work' for treats or even her meals. Get her involved in agility, flyball or some other group activity if she gets along with other dogs. Taking her to a dog park is another way to help her socialize and be mentally and physically stimulated without having to get another pet. Take her with you wherever you can to always give her something to do and keep her interested in what is going on around her.
