🐾 Ten Tips for Leaving Your Dog During the Holidays 🐶🎄

The holidays are a magical time, but they can also be stressful—especially when you have to leave your furry best friend behind. Whether you’re traveling or hosting, here are 10 essential tips to keep your dog happy and stress-free while you’re away:

1️⃣ Start Practicing Now: Gradually increase the time your dog spends alone to ease separation anxiety.

2️⃣ Choose the Right Care: Whether it’s us, a trusted friend, family member, or professional sitter, make sure your dog is in capable, loving hands.

3️⃣ Stick to Their Routine: Leave clear instructions for feeding, walking, and playtime to maintain consistency.

4️⃣ Pack Their Favorites: Bring their bed, toys, and blankets to make them feel at home, even when they’re away from home.

5️⃣ Try Doggy Daycare: If your pup loves to socialize, a daycare can keep them active and entertained.

6️⃣ Leave a Piece of You: A shirt or blanket with your scent can be comforting while you’re gone.

7️⃣ Check In: Many sitters and kennels offer photo updates or live cams, so you can see your pup anytime.

8️⃣ Exercise Before You Leave: A tired dog is a happy dog! Burn off some energy with a long walk or play session.

9️⃣ Stay Calm: Dogs sense our emotions. A cheerful goodbye helps them feel secure.

🔟 Treat Them When You’re Back: Return with a new toy or treat to celebrate your reunion!

Weekend Warriors. 9-5’ers. Hustlers. We love walking your dogs while you’re at work, visiting family, business trip, or on vacation. The dogs always have a blast playing with our group of experts and veteran dogs. The mixture of positive reinforcement, good vibes, comfortable energy, and following the habits of a good dog if your dog is human shy or doesn’t like humans can show improvements in as little as two weeks.

Are you having problems with chewing? Growling? Leash training? Bathroom issues? The list goes on.... we can help.

Guess what?!? Do you have plans this summer? Why not include your dog and get him or her trained. This summer we’re offering another Good Dawg Camp that was so successful last year we’ve been asked almost every day to bring it back! So we will have Doggie Day Care with live video for those working in office who want to check on their four legged baby. We have options for every family. Give us a call to get a free consultation.
