Sanity-Saving Space for Your Dogs | The 12 Days of...

2022/12/18

Join Caroline, today, for the last in our '12 Days of Stressmas' tips as she discusses why SPACE can also be important for our dogs. Whether that's space from everyone - or just some time away from guests with special solo time with you. When sharing spaces with friends and family that we wouldn’t usually do so with, it can become a little claustrophobic. Whether that’s, for you, because your visitors aren’t sympathetic to your dog’s needs. Or, for your dog, that they find it hard to relax with lots

Christmas is always an expensive time of year, and this year any expenditure is going to hurt more than usual. That’s why, for her final tip this Christmas season, Linda suggests two ways you can better manage your Christmas budget. Before everyone gets together, contact everyone to offer two suggestions. If you’re the host you can do this easily when you invite your guests—but if that doesn’t happen, you could take it upon yourself if you’re a guest. For the children’s gifts, suggest a (low) price

2022/12/16

In this episode, Caroline invites you to investigate whether your dog is a glass (or should that be bowl?) "half full" or "half empty" personality when it comes to changes in routine. Some dogs thrive on routine and structure. Unfortunately, again this time of year brings quite a lot of change to cope with. We may be around a lot more, enjoying extended holiday time. We might not be walking or feeding our dog’s meals at the time they’re used to. And with visitors staying, bedtimes might be later

Too much togetherness, no matter how enticing it might seem beforehand, soon begins to stifle and create irritation. In her penultimate Stressmas tip for the humans, Linda encourages each individual at your Christmas gathering to schedule a 20-30 minute ‘own time’ break each day, away from other guests. To increase the effectiveness of this time away, and to make it most likely each of you returns feeling relaxed and ready for the next event, she offers three break-time ingredients. The first is to

It might be the first time your family or friends have been able to get together at Christmas for a few years, which could be quite overwhelming for everyone, including your dog.

And if your dog isn't used to lots of humans visiting of late, then this episode is definitely for you. Caroline shares her top tips for making sure that introductions - and time spent

Did you know that when humans—or all other mammals for that matter—are put into a crowded space, they’re more likely to become irritable, even aggressive? Throw alcohol into the mix and the problem intensifies! In her fourth tip for the humans, Linda will emphasise the need to give each guest (and of course the host!) a space of their own, however modest. She’ll also suggest some novel ways to make that happen, even if space at your gathering is limited this Christmas. Linda will also introduce you

While we might be enjoying the Winter Wonderland unfolding in front of us, there’s an awful lot of change in a short space of time for our dogs. The world suddenly looks very different - from flashing lights, to shiny decorations or giant snowmen on roofs.

How to Plan Ahead Effectively | The 12 Days of Stressmas

Today Linda will offer two keys to effective festive organisation. The first is to gather, if you’re the host--or give, if you’re a guest—some essential information before the festivities begin. Make sure your arrival and departure times, number of guests, and dietary preferences are shared with the host. The second key is to communicate a ‘bare minimum’ timetable to every individual each morning, so everyone knows not only what’s expected of them that day, but also when they’ll have free time to

In this, the second of our mini-series, Caroline discusses why prioritising sleep and rest is probably the most important thing you can do for your dog over the busy festive period. It can be tough for our dogs to switch off when we have lots of new people or dogs visiting, so Caroline shares how it can be of benefit to create a calm resting place for them in advance. She also speaks of the importance of balance in your dog’s week of walks - and why it can even be of benefit to sometimes NOT walk

In the first of 12 tips to make this Christmas the best one possible for you, Linda lets you in on three secrets to feeling rested. The first is to change your self-talk. Starting right now, she’ll encourage you to stop saying that you need more sleep, and instead to tell yourself you need simply to rest whenever you can. After all, rest is something you can control, whereas sleep is not. The second secret is to not to worry so much about what time you go to bed, but to prioritise instead getting up

Stress. It’s a term we hear all too often. But do we really know what it means, and do we truly understand the effect stress has on us and on our dogs? To test yourself, think about how confidently you could answer the following questions: - Is stress always a bad thing, or can it sometimes be a force for good and if so, how? - What are the most common symptoms of stress? - What happens to our bodies and our mental capacities if life becomes so challenging that we feel stressed all the time? - To
