The holidays will be here before you know it. Don't wait until you are rushed and things get hectic to start training your dog. The sooner the better is always the case.Trouble shoot potentially sticky situations now, so your dog knows just what's expected of him. Practice front door ettiquette before you have a slew Thanksgiving guests in your driveway.
Teach your dog sit (not jump) for all greetings and goodies. A tired dog is a happy owner, so get a good exercise program going for your dog so it will be a set habit by the time the tree and decorations go up. Stock up on some Kongs and Nylabones now. Santa can always bring more but you will need them before he arrives to redirect all that canine energy away from Thanksgiving yummies and guests.
