9 Holiday Tips for Pack Leaders from Cesar Millan

Useful suggestions from Cesar Millan:

1.) Tire your dog out before visiting or receiving holiday guests.
2.) Don’t forget rules, boundaries, and limitations just because it’s the holidays!

3.) Protect your dog from the cold.

4.) Let your dog check the weather.

5.) Be cautious when around the fireplace!

6.) Be aware of dangerous holiday items.

7.) Protect your presents and decorations.

8.) I don't recommend giving a puppy as a holiday gift.

And finally, the wisest tip of all. Would that we could live this way all year:

9.) Live in the moment! Be happy! Laugh! Celebrate! Want to do something special for your dog for the holidays? Be balanced. Don’t be nervous. Don’t be fearful. Don’t be tense. Don’t think about anything that makes you sad, depressed, or angry. Really live in that moment. Believe it or not, that is one of the biggest gifts we can give to our dog--and ourselves! Everyone, rich or poor, can practice this simple activity. It has more meaning than any gift you can buy. Live in the now, with your dog right next to you and your family around you. Your dog is going to get the benefit of it, particularly if you don’t have days like this on a regular basis. This special day will linger in his or her memory, and, hopefully, you can learn to practice these days more often, not just during the holiday season.
