Most people welcome

lots of visitors into their

homes during the Christmas

period, but this may be a bit

overwhelming for a young dog

who is only used to having his

own family around. Make

sure your visitors (especially

children!) know not to pester

your puppy, especially if he has

chosen to cuddle up in his bed

away from the chaos.

2

Supervision is very

important, especially if

your pup is teething. Make

sure there is never anything

dangerous lying around that

he could get to, including

low-hanging fairy lights, tree

decorations, or presents.

A Kong is perhaps

one of the best

ways of keeping

your pup out of

trouble on the

big day; stuff it with layers of

yummy treats, which he can

spend hours trying to get out.

If you are expecting a hectic

Christmas, you really don’t

want to have to cope with

a hyperactive puppy as well.

Take him on a long walk in the

morning so he can burn off as

much excess energy as possible,

which should prevent him from

getting too excited and wanting

to stick his nose in to anything

and everything. You could

also treat him to a new

festive ball or outfi t to

make the Christmas walk

extra special.

Puppy’s fi rst Christmas!

If you welcomed a new pup into your home this year, make

sure Christmas runs smoothly with these top tips.

Make it a stress-free

Christmas for your puppy.
