Hello Reader,

I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones (including the furry ones!) have enjoyed a wonderful, restful holiday season!

As the year comes to a close, I want to provide a few resources and also share an opportunity to join our upcoming webinar.

Live Webinar Alert!

We have a puppy focused live webinar (with Q&A) on Saturday December 28, 2024 at 9:00am PST.

We are going to learn strategies to help with puppy biting, and also share some awesome house-training tips and resources. I'm going to share my Puppy: T.E.E.T.H.© method!

Register here to save your spot, or forward the link to a friend or family member who has a new puppy. Save your seat today!

​

You can find our podcast here! Listen while you're out on a walk, or on your commute home. In our latest episode we discuss the parallels between training and management, and how the two strategies are used effectively together.

I couldn't end without a friendly reminder of some of the typical holiday items that are unsafe for our dogs.

• Chocolate (especially dark and baking chocolate) is toxic.
• Xylitol (artificial sweetener in some candies and baked goods). Can come under a variety of different names as well.
• Grapes and raisins (found in fruit cakes etc.).
• Macadamia nuts.
• Alcohol (in eggnog, fruit cake, and our glasses left on the coffee table).
• Tinsel and decorations... can cause intestinal blockage if swallowed.
• Electrical cords from lights are a risk of shock if chewed (puppies & adolescents).
• Many common Christmas plants such as Poinsettias, and holly and mistletoe berries.

Wishing you a wonderful and happy 2025!

Cheers,

Sandy
