Sharing a post done by impeccable behaviour.
Learning and understanding is always so important with our pets.

🎅🏻It’s the festive season and what this means will be different for everyone. Often it will involve the arrival of lots of people, or visits to family who you and your dog may not have seen in a while. For your dogs, Christmas often means a change in routine and when they are put in situations with lots of unfamiliar people, for a long duration, this results in a lack of predictability and safety and the possibility of distance creating behaviours, such as growling and snapping. 🌲🎄🎅🏻🎁🎊❄️🧸🥁☃️

For dogs who are anxious with people it is generally better not to put them into a situation where they may become stressed. Having guests means you will be distracted, serving drinks and preparing food etc and visitors will find it very hard to follow instructions such as ‘don’t touch the dog’, especially when little ‘Bertie’ is a cute, fluffy looking ball of love. ❌🚫

Take the pressure off your dog by ensuring they have a safe space, with options of different comfy beds, access to water, food in enrichment toys and snuffling activities, chews and stuffed Kongs, regular toilet breaks/walks and ensure you set some time aside to sit with them in their safe space periodically. Practice having your dog in the space multiple times before people are due to visit, or ensure they are happy and comfortable in that location.
🛏️💧💦🐕‍🦺🏔️🧸⏰

Good management using baby gates and room dividers can also work well, if your dog is really not happy to be separated from you. This allows them to feel included but will keep people separate. 🚧🥅

For some dogs visiting a kennel, or dog boarder may be a better option, if they really struggle with visitors to the house. 🚙🏘️

However, depending on your dog’s sensitivities to people, you could consider meeting visitors, or family out on a walk. Having your dog walk parallel to people allows them to gain information about them in a safe and non-intrusive way, allowing them to adjust to them entering the house more easily. 🏞️⛰️

If your dog usually sits on the sofa, having visitors come and sit in that location can increase anxiety in your dog, as they cannot access their safe space. Offer a very comfy alternative close to where you will be sitting, so your dog is happy to choose this alternative option. You can offer food rewards for sitting on their bed, if they are happy to have treats around people. 🏡🛋️

Try to maintain your dog’s routine as much as possible, so that things happen when they expect them to, such as eating, walking, playtime etc. Predictability brings confidence to a dog, so maintaining routine will help with this. Particularly when visiting other people, where the situation is completely unfamiliar. 🛎️⏳⏰

Not only will good management and preparation help your dog to feel happy and safe during the festivities but it will also reduce the risk of your dog ingesting foods which are toxic to them, such as Mince Pies and Christmas cake. This is the time of year when dogs most often have to visit the vets for eating poisonous foods, or Christmas decorations! 🍇🧅🎂🫘

So have a happy and safe Christmas, may it be peaceful and joyful for furry and non-furry companions alike. 🐕🦮🎄🌲

Happy December everyone 🎄

Hope you are all keeping well and all your animals are excited for Christmas.😊

As before I will be donating some money to a mixture of animal charities this year for Christmas instead of sending cards out to you all 🎉 if you would all be so kind to spare a moment to put a name of a charity close to your heart or share this post for someone else to tag/name a charity.😊🥰🎄🎁🎉

Had to share with you all, the big and littles ones are all so adorable. Brushing is great for the circulation and lots more also to get at those itchy places under the rugs, managed to groom them all before the rain arrived to get the rugs off and on🥰👍

Amazing time as always looking after these and building stronger bonds, its so touching and heart felt when a dog that doesn't like people or other animals much after what they have been through, to be so strong to become able to trust just incredible, we have become such good friends as the owner puts it he doesn't have friends this is amazing to see. 🥰❤️ i am so blessed, for me patience and time taking is so important, letting them come to you and giving them space and time can give you the strongest bonds ❤️ the other 2 Woofers are just as incredible and they work together well reading each other.

To have happy faces and tail waggles of excitement (after all lots of tail movements can mean alot of different things) for them to all come running and want to join you for the walk out even thought it's quite a overwhelming experience at times for them( you never know what or who might be about) but knowing you give them courage and support to be able to deal with those scary situations is just wow 😊😍

It's never a nice subject to speak about and many struggle in silence, animals are just as important and to us are family to, for me personally this is 100% true.

I came across this lady and wanted to share her link as many might find this is more suited to them over going to the vets, it's such a difficult time already and some animals find the vets super stressful. Il leave her page below if anyone wants to have a look.
