🔥It’s BBQ season and with Fathers Day right around the corner, we wanted to share 5 easy ways to keep everyone safe and happy at your next backyard hangout:
1️⃣ Set up Success Stations:
Give your dog a comfy spot away from the action as well as watch their body language for signs that they may need a break even if they do love to be a part of the action — think shaded crate, pen, or gated room. Toddlers need their own space too!
2️⃣ Keep food up high and out of reach:
Hot dogs on the ground? Chicken bones in reach? That’s a no from us. Prevent scavenging before it starts and avoid potential resource guarding or choking!
3️⃣ Supervise like it’s your job (because it is!):
Always use Active Dog Aware Supervision — BBQs are busy, and things can change in a second.
4️⃣ Get energy out beforehand & pre make enrichment activities:
A fulfilled dog is much more likely to chill while the burgers sizzle.
Safety isn’t about being restrictive — it’s about setting everyone up for a fun and stress-free time together 🐶
