Your Doggy Buddy Dog Training

03/12/2026

I just met Quigley. I tested to see what he knows. A small problem that I found was that he gave me an unwanted lap dance when he was overexcited. This can be easily corrected. Jumping up should only be allowed when asked. Quigley is smart enough to learn this.

Please keep them safe for the holidays. Kindly train your guests on what is allowed around your pets if they are involved in the celebrations. Keep it enjoyable for all!

Knowing when to encourage your pup with the rewarding word and when not to is very important when training your dog; timing is also key to good training.

Bella is very sensitive and scared of strangers. Taking it slow and friendly from a distance is an important first step.

Hiking with your dog is much more enjoyable if you and your dog learn to trust each other in all situations, which requires bonding and training.

⚠️ TIPS & PRECAUTIONS

🧘🏻‍♀️ Be sure your dog is relaxed & happy through all busy holidays, when things are more chaotic than normal.

👨🏻‍⚕️ Statistically dogs & cats visit ERs more during holidays than any other time of year!

🏠 SAFE AT HOME

1️⃣ Give your dog a short walk (15-20 minutes), if that's rewarding to him, prior to the meal.

2️⃣ Don't feed her a full meal as you want to save that for her to eat when she's confined & when you are having your meal.

3️⃣ Do a short training session or some form of mental stimulation prior to guests arriving and/or mealtime. This could be going through his paces, showing off his tricks or nose/scent-work games.

4️⃣ Crate train your dog or be sure she can be alone in a room or X-pen, safely & calmly. (If this cannot be done at the moment start your training now! Ask me how!)

5️⃣ Be sure the crate is in a room that no one can bother him.

6️⃣ Play relaxing music, like the downloadable icalmpet to relax & drown out sounds.

7️⃣ Have a KONG® (or several!) pre-stuffed with her meal & maybe some other goodies, freeze & serve when she's in her crate. See my handout for KONG® recipes – https://bit.ly/kongrecipesforfunv2

🥘 THANKSGIVING MEAL-TIME SAFETY

🚫 Do not give any of the Thanksgiving meal to your pet unless it's bland, unseasoned & you made it separately just for Fido. Also be sure the meat has skin removed if you give it, & only give a little.

❌ Do not feed: 🧅 onions, 🍫 chocolate, 🥧 desserts, 🥜 nuts or anything with any 🌶 spices and/or seasonings as some of these can all be ☠️ poisonous to dogs.

❌🍖❌ Never, ever, ever give cooked bones to dogs.

🚪 Keep Fido away from the meal altogether, in his safe area/crate during this time.

🦃 Have a safe, happy and thankful holiday with your pets and your family!

The temperament of dogs can be quite different but that doesn't mean they can't get along nicely. Find what motivates them!

Having an older trained dog to help train a younger energetic pup helps very much. My dog, Quake is a great example of one of those dogs.
