It is that time of the year again. Nobody wants to leave their pet out of the fun times, but not all pets enjoy large gatherings of people. Our dogs need us to help them be good and make good choices during the holidays.
My dogs love to work a crowd mooching attention and treats, but their time out during gatherings is very limited. They get to say hello to everyone but then they go into the study for the duration. My two wing nuts are high energy under normal circumstances, combined with a party environment = a recipe for insanity and too much possibility for a whole lot of naughtiness.
Here are some tips from the experts along with clickable links for how to train good behaviors.
