What Every Dog Owner Ought to Know About Holiday Safety
Copyright (c) 2007 Jennifer Koretsky
The Christmas holidays are fast approaching! While you’re busy decorating and preparing your home for guests, here are a few important tips to keep your dog safe this season.
The Christmas Tree
Tinsel, small ornaments, and ornament hooks are major choking hazards for dogs. It’s best to avoid tinsel altogether and keep small ornaments high on the tree, out of the dog’s reach. Also, make sure there are no stray ornament hooks on the floor!
If your family has a real tree (as opposed to an artificial tree), it’s best to block off the area around the tree with a screen or gate. Many dogs become ill from drinking tree water and ingesting pine needles. Vacuum the area around the tree regularly.
Holiday Guests
It’s exciting to have family and friends over during the holidayseven for your dog! But there are certain precautions you should take when having company over.
Dogs can easily slip out the door when people are continuously going in and out. Make sure your dog is wearing an identification tag with your phone number, even if he is micro-chipped. Not everyone who finds a lost dog knows to have him checked for a micro-chip.
Your guests may adore your dog, but don’t let them give your dog any food without asking. Children especially may want to give the dog a treathand them a safe treat and supervise while they give it to the dog. Under no circumstances should your dog be given turkey or chicken bones. They are too small and are a serious choking hazard. As an alternative, buy a marrow bone at the grocery store as a special holiday treat.
Why You Shouldn’t Give Dogs as Gifts
Bringing a new dog into the family is a wonderful thing, especially if you adopt a dog from a shelter. However, giving a dog as a Christmas gift is never a good idea. Regardless of whether the dog is a puppy or an adult, his first few days in your home should be all about him. The holidays, for most families, are too chaotic and busy for a dog to get used to his new environment, and he may become anxious or frightened.
A great idea for families who want to give their children a dog for Christmas is to gift wrap a dog bone. When the child opens it, tell them it’s for the new dog that you’ll be getting in a few weeks. Or you can leave a note from Santa explaining that he didn’t have enough room on his sleigh and will be coming back with the dog. Animal shelters are flooded every January with dogs who were given as Christmas giftsso January is a great time to adopt a dog who needs a home.
Lastly, it’s always a good idea to have your vet’s phone number posted in a visible spot. Your vet’s office should have someone answering the phone 24/7.
The most important thing to remember, amidst all the chaos of the holidays, is to always know where your dog is and what he’s up to. That way everyone in your home, including the four-legged family members, can have a Merry Christmas.

Should i be crate training my dog?
I have a golden retriever and he is going to be nine months old soon. He is a very loyal dog and very well behaved when we are home. We never really crate trained him from day one and i know that is wrong and we have a crate and all. He never pottys in the house and rarely every did when he was younger. We would let him alone for 8 hours at the most while we were at work and no mess at all. However within the past week or two he has been chewing all of our shoes up and even tore the carpet up. However i have a halloween ornaments on a coffee table (well in reach) and plants that he doesnt touch. He is very spoiled, i take him everwhere and spend alot of time with him. He even sleeps with my wife and i. I think it might be seperation anxiety but i dont know. Should i start crate training him? Is it too late? Or should i try leaving the radio or tv on while im not home and leave him out all day? Please help, Thank You
It could be Seperation Anxiety. Goldens are notorious for this problem. They simply don’t like being left alone. You should really do some research into this, starting with a quick search on the net. The possible solutions for this are to numerous and lengthy to go into here.
Crate training is something I highly recommend. IMO, crates have saved as many dogs’ lives as vets! A crated dog is loved on when the owners return home instead of the owners being upset at yet another mess the dog left. A crated dog doesn’t cause a fire and die when he chews up an electrical cord. And so on.
Start out crate training slowly. Toss a few treats in the crate, let the dog go in and out at will. Begin feeding the dog in the crate, with the door open. Encourage him to go in but don’t force him at first. Use lots of yummy things to make him WANT to go in.
After he is comfortable going in and out, start shutting the door. Keep it closed for only a minute or two the first 4 or 5 times, letting him out and giving pats and loving, then gradually lengthen the times with the door shut.
As soon as he starts spending 5 – 10 minutes in the crate, get a big knuckle bone or a large, heavy duty chew bone. Give him this special treat ONLY when he is crated with the door shut. Pick it up as he leaves the crate. He should be happy to lay for 1/2 hour or longer with such a special treat.
Don’t open the door of the crate if he is acting up or beating at the door with his legs. If you have to, shout his name so he shuts up and looks up at you for a second, THEN quickly open the door while he is quiet.
Good luck!
