So sad 😢. I’m thankful SLED/ South Carolina Law Enforcement Division intervened!

Go check out our local book store 😆! Mrs. Taylor has my all time favorite book for pet parents, Doggie Language by Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin.

6️⃣Tips to ensure you have a peaceful holiday with your pup!

1️⃣Create a safe space for your pup during the chaos.
A back bedroom or quiet space away from the door and guest activities is a great place for your pup to stay calm and relaxed. You can incorporate a sound machine to block out the noise of extra people in the house.

2️⃣Provide your pup with calming activities.
Before the festivities begin, prep a lickmat, chew toy, or foraging activity to keep your pup busy in their safe space. These activities release happy endorphins that can help your pooch stay calm and relaxed.

3️⃣Ask your guests not to knock at the door as this can cause many dogs a lot of stress and incessant barking. Instead ask guests to text you when they arrive.

4️⃣If your dog is fearful of strangers advise your guests on how to interact with your dog to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Eye contact, reaching towards the dog, or offering your hand to sniff will only escalate the behavior.

🦃For example: Please ignore Dovey when entering the house. She may bark, but is it because she is fearful. We are working with her to help her overcome her fear so please do not make direct eye contact with her as this will probably escalate her behavior. It is best to ignore her altogether and I will redirect her as needed. If barking makes you uncomfortable I can plan to put her in the back bedroom until you're ready to meet her.

5️⃣Exercise your pup before the holiday festivities.
The holidays can be difficult for your pup because a change in routine and extra people in the house can cause a lot of uncertainty.

6️⃣Allow for a decompression period.
After guests leave give your dog time to reset by giving them plenty of time to rest and catch up on sleep. Please don't overdo it with too many activities as a tired dog is more likely to be vulnerable and have poor behavior.
