How To Dog Proof a House
Keep plants out of the dog’s reach. Certain ones can be poisonous.
Keep food out of reach. And remember counters. Dogs will surprise you with how high they will jump for food.
..:::How To Pet
Lay a soft rug or dog bed next to your computer chair and let your dog lay next to you while you shop online or look up recipes for tasty homemade dog cookies. Reinforce your dog for laying down quietly next to you by letting him have a special chewy item such as a bully stick or a food dispensing toy.
If you found a good homemade treat recipe, visit with your pup and practice obedience cues in the kitchen while you are making a batch of "howliday" goodies for your dog and his friends. This is a great time to practice down stay, taking food gently, and wait.
Call up some of your dog loving friends and their dogs to go for a long walk at night to take in the lights and decorations around your neighborhood.
Go to your local pet supply store and buy some doggie presents for your dog and a maybe even a little something for that special cat or turtle in your life.
Find a local retailer or photo studio that is offering pictures with Santa and your dog. The actual photo shoot may not be fun for some dogs, but there is the car ride to be enjoyed. You can also make it up to him with a trip to the dog park.
If you've shopped 'til you dropped and now feel like throwing a fit, throw a ball instead. You will be in a great mood again in no time!
Season's Greetings to all and to all a good night!
