As the holidays approach us, remember to use your training especially when your guests come to visit. Practice properly greeting people by practicing your sit and stays. Don't let your dog get away with jumping on guests or begging for food. Remember to use tethering techniques for unwelcome behaviors like begging and jumping. Don't be scared to do a time out if needed.

Parties, travel and the frenzy of activity during the holidays can overexcite and stress out our best friends. KONG has a few tips that can help ease the holiday pain for you and your dog.
Plan Ahead Stuff and freeze a few KONGs before things get too hectic—you’ll be glad you did when you’re running late for that holiday party. Houseguests & Gatherings Put your dog in a back room or their crate during guests’ arrival and departure. A treat-stuffed KONG will distract them from the activity at the front door. Home Alone When holiday shopping keeps you away all day, give your dog a treat-filled KONG to reduce stress and loneliness. Offer your dog the KONG moments before you leave; this will help focus their attention away from your departure. A frozen KONG lasts the longest and will help get your dog through the first twenty minutes alone (when separation anxiety is at its peak). Holiday Dinner Is your niece falling victim to puppy-face and feeding your dog table scraps? Many holiday meals can be adjusted for your dog’s KONG. *This blog entry is quoted from the KONG newsletter. |
