Top Eight Holiday Dog Tips From 'The Dog Whisperer' Cesar Millan!

Top Eight Holiday Dog Tips From 'The Dog Whisperer' Cesar Millan!

During the busy holiday season, it is important to keep your dogs in mind. Here are Cesar's Top Tips for a balanced dog all Winter long!

 LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ --    1.) Exercise your dog out of doors before taking him to visit or receiving       holiday guests. Holiday visits may involve more excited energy than       usual. Your dog is more likely to behave if it has just had a nice       long walk.   2.) Don't forget rules, boundaries, and limitations just because it's the       holidays! Holidays bring many new temptations in the form of smells       (freshly baked cookies and a tree in the house), sights (bright       lights and visiting relatives), and sounds (Christmas carols and       sleigh bells). Use this opportunity to reinforce the household rules.   3.) Protect your dog from the cold. Many breeds are not built for cold       weather. Check out your local pet store for suggestions, such as doggy       boots or paw waxes, to help your dog handle the elements.   4.) Be cautious when around the fireplace and lit candles. Never leave an       animal unattended in a room with candles or a fireplace.   5.) Beware of hazardous holiday items. Ingested poinsettia plants cause       dogs to vomit; chocolate is poisonous to dogs; and tinsel has sent       many a dog to the emergency room. Keep fragile ornaments toward the       top of the Christmas tree; only place sturdy ones near the bottom.   6.) Protect your presents. Remember that a dog will know if a gift       contains something edible, even if you don't. Ask your guests in       advance if there is food inside presents, and keep them out of your       dog's reach!   7.) I don't recommend giving a puppy as a holiday gift. I strongly       believe that the whole family needs to have basic knowledge about the       commitment and responsibility of pet ownership before receiving an       animal. Watch my new DVD Your New Dog: First Day and Beyond for tips       on bringing a dog into your home.   8.) Include your dog in your New Year's Resolutions! Make a commitment to       be a pack leader 365 days a year, practice calm-assertive energy in       all aspects of your life, and work toward achieving calm submission       from your dog.
