Christmas should be the time of year when we’re all happy to see each other and we all get along well together. The reality can be very different though. If we\u2019re forced to spend more time indoors together than usual, kids and adults can start getting irritated with one another. The same can be true of our dogs.\u00a0 So what do you do when your own two dogs aren\u2019t playing nicely together? Or, what if your pup is getting irritated with Uncle George\u2019s pooch?\u00a0 We\u2019ve got some tips to help dogs get along this Christmas. Read more for a smooth transition between Christmas and the New Year and a more peaceful 2022 ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get outside<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your pups are normally well behaved, but suddenly start being difficult with one another, think about how their day has been.\u00a0 Have they had the normal amount of exercise that they need? If they\u2019ve been cooped up inside with the rest of the family all day when they\u00a0 normally enjoy 2 or 3 walks, that could be the problem right there.\u00a0 Make sure they get their full exercise quota every day.\u00a0 Getting outside for exercise in the fresh air can calm the situation down for them and can also do wonders for everyone else in the family too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use distractions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your normally calm spaniel and your Uncle\u2019s sweet poodle may be adorable on their own, but bring one of them into the other\u2019s home turf and it can be a different story. If they start to get antagonistic or fight with one another, calmly redirect their attention to stop those behaviours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give them their safe space<\/span><\/h2>\n

Make sure each pup has his own place in the house to retreat to, so if each wants to go off to his own crate for quiet time they can do so with no problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lead your pack<\/span><\/h2>\n

If the arguments are coming between your own dogs, strengthen your role as pack leader so they are not vying for that position themselves. Remember to help dogs get along you should reinforce basic training, keep them socialised and make sure that when you walk them they are side by side together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use a boot divider<\/span><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t want any driving distractions when you\u2019re in the car. Using a boot divider<\/a> ensures your pups can still interact with one another but are sufficiently separated that they can\u2019t behave aggressively with one another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reward good behaviour<\/span><\/h2>\n

Use positive rewards when the behaviour is good. Don\u2019t overreact to fights or bad interactions, but keep a calm demeanour.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
