🎃👻 Is your dog ready for Halloween?
Halloween can be exciting for us, but all the doorbells, visitors, costumes and unusual noises can be a little overwhelming for our dogs! 🐶
Here are a few ways to help your dog feel more comfortable:
🔔 Practise doorbell training — teach your dog an alternative behaviour, such as going to their bed when the bell rings.
🛏️ Create a safe space — give them somewhere quiet to retreat if things become too much.
🍫 Keep treats out of reach — chocolate and sweets containing xylitol can be dangerous for dogs.
🐕 Don’t force interactions — not every dog enjoys meeting visitors or dressing up in costumes.
🎓 Practise before the big day — short, positive training sessions can help prepare your dog for the excitement.
And remember, it’s absolutely fine for your dog to skip the Halloween festivities and enjoy a quiet evening instead. Their comfort comes first! ❤️
Let’s make Halloween a happy and safe experience for everyone, including our four-legged family members. 🐾
