Dogs can decline mentally as they age just as much as humans do. One way to help keep an old dog sharp is to challenge its brain. There are probably many ways to do this, but a new idea is to use computer games played on a touch screen. It seems that dogs can learn to do this. Old dogs can learn to do this.

If the game is fun you could play it with your dog.
I have seen videos of lizards and frogs playing games on a touch screen. I don't know if it keeps them sharp, but they seem to like it. Who knows, this might be the way to keep a dog entertained while you are out. A game could be designed just for an older dog. It is an idea that could work.
I will pass on trying this with the guinea pigs. I don't want them getting ahold of my computer. They would probably find a way to order cases of vegetables.
