Trained Dogs Rule

Christmas is fast approaching and I would just like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry holiday.

As we celebrate with friends and relatives lets not forget about our pets.  As these times seem to be more busy them normal take some extra time to exercise your dog.  A tired dog is less likely to get in trouble if they are left alone for awhile.  This seems to happen a little more over the holidays as we are out more than normal.

Remember also not to overfeed your dog – especially table food, during the holidays.  If their digestive system is not used to table foods it may cause them to become sick.

One other thing that I feel I should mention.  Do not give a puppy as a Christmas present.  If you truly do want a puppy then wait until after Christmas has passed and the holidays are over.  Once things return to normal if you still want that puppy then go for it.

Statistics have shown that puppies given as Christmas presents have a higher rate of ending up in a shelter.  So wait a week or two so your puppy won’t become one of those statistics.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday!

Until next time
