If you decided to add a furry friend to the family this Christmas, you might be realizing how much work a pet is, but don’t give up.
With so much change, pets will be stressed and confused – new sounds, smells and people. They may forget housetraining already learned and be more aggressive or timid than normal. Quickly get into a routine with feeding, walks and play time. Initially, limit noise and strangers, so not to overwhelm them. Prevent pet’s confusion by everyone using the same vocabulary to give commands.
