Do you want one of them?
Do you want some venison? Gonna sit.
wait
wait
Good girl! Good girl Ellie!
Oh good girl!
And she's off!
Hey guys it's Steven and Ellie the chihuahua here! In this video we're gonna be talking about
how you can keep your dog calm and relaxed if you were to have a house
party at your house perhaps the New Year's Eve when you invite lots of your
friends and family over and your dogs not used to it it can make them very
nervous and intimidated so hopefully some of these tips will help calm your dog
The first piece of advice I would give is to make sure you talk to your
guests ahead of the party and make them aware that your dog will be in the house
during the party because you never know one of them may have a dog allergy or be
scared of dogs and if that's the case maybe you need to reevaluate if your dog
is gonna be at the party or if you need to move to a different venue just
something to think about. On the day of the actual party I would recommend that
you give your dog lots of love and attention before the party starts take
them on a really long walk and tire them out because if your dog is agitated and
stressed and has lots of energy inside them then they're just gonna be running
around creating a scene, causing havoc during the party so make sure you tire
them out keep them lots of love and exercise and hopefully they'll be nice and chilled when the party starts
Once your dog has been exercised I
would make a conscious effort to clean your house. There's gonna be a lot of pet
hairs around it's a fact! It doesn't matter what kind of breed you have there
is guaranteed to be pet hairs on your sofas and on your carpet so take the
vacuum cleaner and thoroughly clean yourhouse because you don't mean your guests
to be sat down and get covered in hair because he's gonna put them in a bad
mood and it's just it's just good hospitality really so clean your house
Another stage of the party prep would be to make sure you fed your dog in time for when the party starts
If your doggy is hungry don't get hungry and there's lots of food
being eaten and drops on the floor then they're just gonna be scavenging and
begging your guests for food throughout the whole evening. If you fed them and
they've got a full tummy they are gonna be a lot more chilled and relaxed and
not looking for food all the time. You give them lots of treats during the
day give them a really good meal and hopefully they'll be nice and chilled
out when the party starts. This next one is really important as your guests are
arriving make sure you take the time to introduce your dog to them just so
they're familiar with the dog and also your dog is familiar with them it will
make your friends relaxed and also your dog relaxed and the evening should go smoothly
another thing I would suggest is that
your dog has an area of the house they can go to and be on their own and relax
if they want to if it's not possible for them to have their own room what you
could do is maybe keep a leash on your dog so they're close to you all the time
you know where your dog is and you can just pick them up and comfort them if they
need a little bit of reassurance so definitely something to consider if you haven't got an area for them to go.
Finally once you've done all that the last thing
I would consider is if you're gonna decorate your house in any way let's say
you're gonna put streamers up on the walls, make sure they're really secured
so they don't fall down because I know Ellie would investigate what that was
and it could and should be a choking hazard similarly
party poppers that you set off and make a loud bang gonna throw confetti
everywhere - a the loud bang would scare Ellie and secondly the residue from the
party popper again is a choking hazard - you just need to be very conscious of that
speak to your guests beforehand. Let them know the deal about what they can bring
with them and hopefully if everyone's on the same page then your dog is gonna be
fine and they'll have a great time at your party
