Halloween is a favorite holiday for many, myself included, but it can be trickier for some of our dogs to enjoy. My favorite October memories with my own canine kiddos over the years include Preston winning a costume contest “naked” as a dinosaur, with pet-safe colored spikes, me dressing up AS Preston (with a full-on fluffy lion mane face!) on a national TV show, and attending dozens of charity fundraisers, judging doggie trick and costume contests.
For a well-adjusted, confident dog, Halloween can be filled with fun socialization experiences. But for a puppy or fearful dog, the weeks leading up to Halloween can feel more like a horror story!
The good news is, that YOU can make a difference, with positive reinforcement training and environmental management.
