Happy Holidays from Canine Campus!
We hope you enjoy the attached card and wish you and your entire pack a safe, fun, and restful holiday season. To keep the stress level low during this time of "high distraction", remember to: 1. Set your dogs and your guests up for success by providing clear communication, handy treats, and a management plan. 2. Have plenty of loaded food toys, regular toys, and quiet areas ready to provide easy distraction or comfortable time-outs. 3. Remember that the vet's office may be closed when you are at your busiest; call now to get the emergency vet phone number and post it in a handy place - surely, nothing will go wrong over the holidays, but better safe than sorry! We have plenty of podcasts lined up for the new year, and look forward to getting back in touch with you in 2008!
