❌AT CHRISTMAS YOUR DOG DOESN’T HAVE TO:

🧑‍🎄 Visit Santa at the garden centre

🎄 Be around your visitors

🎅🏽 Go to other peoples houses

🎄 Go to see the Christmas lights switch on

🍺 Go to the busy pub on Christmas Eve

If they are anxious or get worried about people, dogs or busy places or if they just don’t like doing these things. It’s not a fault if they don’t like doing these things, many dogs don’t enjoy ‘human activities’ like this (some do, I have one that loves all of it and two that would be 🫤 ).

✅ Instead they may prefer to:

🚪 Be in their safe space (see upcoming post on this), a quiet room they like being in with a dog gate on the doorway when you have a house full of people who may scare them

🐕 Have an extra trip to a freedom field on Christmas morning and some extra enrichment at home while you go and visit family for a few hours if they’d find it stressful to come with you

🐶 A meet up with a dog or human friend at a place they like rather than a trip to the heaving pub on Christmas Eve

🦴 A trip to a dog enrichment centre or a 121 in an activity they love (scent work, mantrailing etc) rather than an outing to see the Christmas lights switched on

🍖 Some dog safe Christmas biscuits you’ve made them rather than dressing up in a dog Santa outfit

Loads of these Christmas ‘traditions’ that we enjoy are not enjoyed by our dogs, especially if they are anxious or more sensitive. Even the most robust dog may tolerate these activities rather than love them.

Please be mindful of your dogs wants and needs and don’t put them into situations they find stressful just because we want them to be part of Christmas. It’s your Christmas, not your dogs, they really won’t mind not being included in everything you do ❤️

🌟 Diolch o galon! 🌟 (English Follows)

Cefais gyfle anhygoel i siarad yn dosbarth derbyn 1 a Bl1 yn Ysgol Pontyberem wythnos diwethaf, am ei sesiynau cyntaf o 'Ysbrydoli ac Addysgu; Sesiynau Plant a Chŵn. Roedd yn gymaint o bleser rhannu gwybodaeth ar sut i ryngweithio'n ddiogel ac yn hapus gyda'n cŵn! Rwy'n edrych ymlaen i ddod ag Ash🐶 i gwrdd a'r plant yn ystod tymor y Haf am yr ail sesiynau🐶❤️

Roedd y plant yn awyddus i ddysgu am fynd at gŵn yn iawn, ymateb pan fydd ci yn neidio i fyny, gwybod ble i gyffwrdd â chi yn ddiogel, a deall sut i ofalu am eu hanifeiliaid anwes. Roedd eu brwdfrydedd a'u chwilfrydedd yn wirioneddol ysbrydoledig!

Diolch enfawr am y cyfle ac am ddal yr eiliadau gwych hyn. Rydw i wrth fy modd i rannu ychydig o gipluniau o sesiwn heddiw. 📸✨

Mae eich cefnogaeth a’ch anogaeth yn golygu’r byd i mi, ac rydw i mor ddiolchgar i fod wedi bod yn rhan o brofiad mor gyfoethog. Gadewch i ni barhau i ysbrydoli a grymuso ein gilydd!

I'r Plant: Parhewch i ofyn cwestiynau a meithrin caredigrwydd tuag at bob creadur. Mae'r dyfodol yn ddisglair ac yn llawn posibiliadau! 🚀



🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You! 🌟
I had the incredible opportunity to speak with the children in reception 1 and year 1 at Ysgol Pontyberem last week, for their first sessions of "Engage and Educate: Kids and Dogs." I'm really looking forward to bringing Ash🐶with me for the second sessions in the Summer term. It was such a joy to share insights on how to safely and happily interact with our furry friends! 🐶❤️

The children were eager to learn about approaching dogs properly, responding when a dog jumps up, knowing where to touch a dog safely, and understanding how to care for their pets. Their enthusiasm and curiosity were truly inspiring!
A massive thank you to [Teacher's Name] for not only inviting me but also capturing these wonderful moments. With permission, I'm thrilled to share a few snapshots from today’s session. 📸✨
Your support and encouragement mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of such an enriching experience. Let’s continue to inspire and empower each other!
To the kids: Keep asking questions and fostering kindness towards all creatures. The future is bright and full of possibilities! 🚀
