Christmas can be a minefield for dog owners 🐶🎄 Here's how to keep them happy over the festive period ⤵️
“This means owners of lockdown dogs should be extra wary of their boundaries and make sure to supervise any interactions with new dogs or children carefully this Christmas, because these are the situations where a dog is likely to feel threatened or overwhelmed and act out.”
“There are also products which can be used to help keep dogs calm. Pheromone sprays and diffusers use natural chemicals to help ease dogs’ nerves and reduce feelings of restlessness. However, they only work if you start to use them a week in advance. “The hustle and bustle of Christmas may prove challenging for some dogs, particularly for those who have never experienced a big Christmas get together before,” says Gibson. “Lots of noise and new faces may be overwhelming at first, so it is a good idea to introduce people gradually, rather than as one big group.”also recommends stuffing a few Kong chew toys with something tasty and keeping an supply of them in the freezer to use as “redirect tools”.
Gibson also recommends getting a carrier. “Carriers help to keep pets secure and give them a feeling of safety and comfort,” he says. “It is also a good idea to introduce them to their carrier around a week before the journey, perhaps by placing their favourite blanket or toy in the carrier to encourage them to spend some time there, to make sure that is a familiar space by the time they hit the road.”Going inside an unfamiliar house can be made less daunting for your dog.
