Holidays can be a challenging time for dogs due to the extra noise, visitors, and unusual routines, but with some planning you can help your pup stay calm. Here are some helpful tips:

1. Create a Safe Space
1. Set up a quiet area where you dog can be. This can be a crate or a room with their favorite toys, food, and water accessible.
2. You can add some soft music or white noise to help drown out sudden sounds like fireworks or party sounds.
2. Stick to a routine
1. Dogs thrive on routine. Keeping meal time, walks, and play sessions consistent is key.
3. Exercise before events
1. Go on a nice long walk or play before festivities begin. This helps release energy as well as anxiety.
2. A tired dog is more likely to relax and sleep which can help them cope better.
4. Distract with Engaging Toys
1. Interactive toys such as puzzles and enrichment can distract your dog and tire them out mentally.
2. Try a frozen treat like KONGs or bones filled with yummy foods that are safe for dogs.
5. Manage Guests Carefully
1. Let your visitors know not to overwhelm you dog. Do not allow them in your dogs safe space.
6. Consider professional help
1. Mackenzie’s Mannered Mutts will be offering 45 minute virtual training sessions for $20 until December 24 to help you and your dog have a successful Christmas!
