GIVE YOUR DOG A JOB
Christmas is fast approaching and with that comes holiday cheer and company. Are you cringing at the thought of yur pup jumping all over company? Counter surfing some delicious delights away from the guests perhaps? Every year, I am flooded with calls regarding problems with dogs and the deadline of expected company for the holidays.
The best piece of advice I can give is, GIVE YOUR DOG A JOB! Instead of trying to put out the fire by just stopping your dog once they are already doing the mischievous deeds (jumping for example), put a plan into action before guests arrive. If your dog has a job to do (stay on a mat for example), they aren't jumping on guests. Chew a bone in the living room and teach your dog to stay out of the kitchen.
Identify your areas of concern, and see if you can find a job for your dog to do instead. An employed dog is a dog that is not getting into trouble, and that makes you one happy owner.
Christmas is fast approaching! Don't forget to book your pup's grooming appointments early! Spots fill up quickly and you don't want to be left out in the cold! Call 780-513-4074 today!
