What if I told you that all dogs have made the nice list this year?

If you think about it, "bad" behavior is perspective. Some people allow their dogs up on furniture while other households do not. Some dogs are allowed to jump for greetings while others are not. Some dogs are allowed to chew boxes while others are labeled destructive. πŸ“¦

Dogs are not "bad" or doing things to challenge "dominance" πŸ™„Β  Maybe your "naughty" dog keeps jumping on the couch because he perfers that over the dog bed that's provided, or maybe it allows him a better view for outside critters 🐿

My job as a dog trainer is to help you achieve your dog training goals by aligning both you and your dog. We work on unwanted behaviors by looking at your dogs perspective and giving them more appropriate outlets and treating all underlying issues like anxiety, stress, frustration, etc.

So take your dogs off the naughty list this year and instead view their challenging behaviors as just simply behaviors that need guidance.

While you are finalizing all your Thanksgiving plans, I just wanted to send a reminder to have a plan for your dog to ensure their safety and training success.

Here are a few tips to help your day run more smoothly:

πŸ¦ƒExercise them well before the guests arrive
πŸ¦ƒIf your dog escapes the front door, have them placed behind a baby gate or in another room until all guests have arrived
πŸ¦ƒJumping greeters can say hi from behind a gate or on leash until they are able to keep four feet on the floor.
πŸ¦ƒA prepped long-lasting feeder toy or bone can be helpful to keep them entertained while you are enjoying your meal
πŸ¦ƒFor some dogs, the day can be stressful with the extra company, so establish a safe and calming place away from the excitement
πŸ¦ƒLastly, be mindful that not all Thanksgiving foods are safe for dogs. If you plan on sharing some leftovers with them, stick with turkey meat and plain cooked veggies without all the fixings
πŸ¦ƒBig reminder that dogs can not have cooked bones. Save the bones to make them a nice broth instead.
