🎄🎅 20 Days Until Christmas: 20 Dog Training Tips to Get Holiday-Ready! 🎅🎄

The holidays are here, and Christmas is just around the corner! 🎁 As you prepare your home for the festivities, don’t forget about your furry friend. Here are 20 tips to help make sure your pup is holiday-ready and part of the celebration! 🐾

1️⃣ Practice “Place” Command: Teach your dog to stay in a designated spot to keep them calm during holiday dinners.
2️⃣ Polite Greetings: Work on “sit” and “stay” to prevent jumping when guests arrive.
3️⃣ Desensitize to Sounds: Play holiday music or doorbell sounds to get your dog accustomed to festive noises.
4️⃣ Leash Manners: Prep for holiday strolls by practicing loose-leash walking.
5️⃣ Safe Decorations: Keep ornaments, tinsel, and lights out of your dog’s reach.
6️⃣ Impulse Control: Use “leave it” for dropped food or tempting décor.
7️⃣ Food Safety: Train “off” to keep paws off the counter during cookie baking!
8️⃣ Friendly Socialization: Expose your dog to different people and pets ahead of holiday gatherings.
9️⃣ Crate Training Refresher: A cozy crate can be a safe haven for your dog when things get busy.
🔟 Holiday Photo Ready: Practice “stay” for those perfect Christmas card pictures!
1️⃣1️⃣ Mental Stimulation: Puzzle toys and enrichment activities keep your dog engaged during busy days.
1️⃣2️⃣ Quiet Time: Reinforce “settle” so your pup can relax while you wrap gifts.
1️⃣3️⃣ Holiday Walks: Add some extra walks to burn off excitement before guests arrive.
1️⃣4️⃣ Puppy Proofing: Scan for choking hazards or harmful plants like poinsettias.
1️⃣5️⃣ Reward Calm Behavior: Reward your dog when they’re calm around guests or new situations.
1️⃣6️⃣ Gift Opening Etiquette: Teach your pup to sit and wait before diving into presents.
1️⃣7️⃣ Safe Chew Toys: Provide holiday-themed toys to keep them entertained.
1️⃣8️⃣ Car Rides: Prepare your dog for holiday travel by ensuring they’re comfortable in the car.
1️⃣9️⃣ Emergency Recall: Refresh your “come” command for safety during outdoor play.
2️⃣0️⃣ Holiday Fun: Teach a festive trick like “spin” or “bow” for party entertainment!

✨ This season is all about creating memories, and these tips can help you and your dog enjoy the holidays together. Remember, we’re here for all your training needs if you need extra help preparing your pup for Christmas! 🎄🐶

Gorgeous Mia wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂🍁

Here she is learning to sit and wait while her handler loads a cart and to walk along calmly next to the cart as her handler continues to shop, sitting automatically when she stops. She is doing very well!
