With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we wanted to remind you that the feast we all love to eat can be dangerous for your dogs to partake in.

Don’t give your dog table scraps. This is a big Thanksgiving no-no. Small or sharp bones can be especially dangerous for dogs. For example, a turkey bone can hurt a dog’s digestive system and cause serious health problems. Turkey (and sometimes stuffing as well) can contain a toxin called thiobarbital that can be poisonous to dogs in large quantities. Additionally, there are other foods that dogs should never eat; these include onions, garlic, raisins, grapes, chocolate, and anything containing alcohol. 🦃🧅🍇🍫🍷

Even if your dog has never eaten table scraps before, Thanksgiving can be a huge temptation to start; the smell of the turkey, mashed potatoes, and other delicious food can easily be too much.

As with all things in the canine world, a little planning goes a long way in making your Thanksgiving a happy and safe one for your dog.

Teaching a reliable recall, or “come” command, is one of the most valuable skills for any dog owner.

When dealing with a distracted dog, it can feel quite challenging for a pet owner, but once you get your dog’s attention in dog training it can be one of the most rewarding experiences for both you and your pet. Dogs can become easily distracted by various stimuli in their environment from a low distraction environment to even bigger distractions, leading to frustration for both the owner and the pet. However, understanding the causes of distraction and how your dog responds and implementing effective strategies can help improve your dog’s focus and attention with specific distraction training.

If you’re looking for additional support and training options, consider reaching out to Performance K9 Training and Boarding. Our Basic Behavior Modification Program will train your dog with necessary basic obedience commands that are learned under partial distraction overall helping with your dog’s focus and attention.
