Calm Canine Academy's Tips for a Stress-Free Christmas for Dogs
Christmas can be a stressful time for dogs due to the increased activity and changes in routine. To help Sadie, a dog, cope with these overwhelming situations, the Calm Canine Academy recommends various activities and projects.
The Academy suggests creating a quiet, safe space for Sadie to retreat to when things get too loud or chaotic. Calming training exercises and gentle walks can also help her manage stress levels. Mental stimulation through activities like snuffling games and incorporating snuffle mats into her routine can lower her blood pressure and heart rate, making her less anxious.
During gatherings with lots of food, giving Sadie projects can provide positive distractions. This can help her cope with not joining in with 'human food' or being in a different room while everyone's eating. The Academy demonstrates using snuffling games and wrapping meals in towels to keep her busy and calm during celebratory dinners.
By keeping Sadie busy with projects and activities, both she and her dog parents can enjoy the festive season more. Pet owners should also be aware of the 11 Christmas hazards for pets to ensure a safe and happy holiday for their furry friends.
