Here are 3 ways I will help Harlo stay relaxed and safe during the festivities this year:
1️⃣ Her bed or mat
I’ll have her bed or mat at key spots such as living room for present time, and the kitchen for cooking/prepping. This allows her to be involved and see everything going on, while also not being underfoot.
2️⃣ Quiet Time in the Crate
For Harlo her quiet time will actually be in my parents backyard since that’s where she is happiest, but a crate can be a cozy retreat if your pup needs a break from the noise. Add a blanket on top if that also helps create zen! I’d recommend placing your pups crate in a room with a door so that they can escape all the noise and have a little nap!
3️⃣ Under legs or chair
During dinner time, Harlo will be under my chair or my legs. I do this so that she is not begging people for food, or getting into trouble elsewhere. While we’re having dinner she will also have hers in something like a toppl or snuffle mat. This helps her to stay with me as well as relax as she is burning some mental energy by foraging.
