With the holiday season upon us, many of you will have company over or perhaps take your dog to family gatherings.
Respect your dog’s need to have his or her own space.

Some dogs love the attention and being around lots of people. Some dogs would prefer to chill out in their kennel. In either case, make sure you have a quiet location and kennel for your dog should he/she decide to take a break from the humans, especially if there are young children around. With all the sugar and excitement, this can annoy the dog and possibly encourage the dog to snap. You may even consider leaving the dog at home. This advice goes for any group gathering, whether it be other holidays or birthday parties.
