The truth about holiday dog training? It's not about perfection. It's about preparation.
You can't cram all your training into the week before Thanksgiving or Christmas and expect your dog to handle the chaos. Year-round consistency is what makes the difference between a calm dog and complete mayhem when guests arrive.
Swipe through for five powerful reminders that'll help you and your dog actually enjoy the holidays:
→ Training isn't seasonal work
→ Structure beats hope every time
→ Exercise is your best management tool
→ Your dog needs you to set boundaries
→ Not every dog belongs at every event

And remember - you're building something bigger than just holiday behavior. You're building a foundation of communication and trust that lasts all year.
