From Jen Kasner, Dog Expert and Co-Founder of Goldn Tips on preparing your dog for trick or treaters at the front door: Disable the doorbell for the night or man the open door, so you’re aware when visitors are present.Consider enlisting a friend or family member to distract your puppy with playtime, treats or frequent walks. Also, have a buddy (someone your pup is comfortable with) give tons of treats to your dog every time someone comes to the door. When the stranger is at the door, have your buddy (at a fair distance from the entrance) regularly feed treats and give verbal praise to your pup. Stop the treats as soon as the stranger leaves. Only resume the treat fest when another trick or treater comes to the door. If your dog becomes too stressed (refuses the treats), take your pup to his/her safe place far away from the front door (see next tips!)Trick out your pet’s favourite safe-haven in your home by adding chew toys, blankets or bedding at Halloween. Try to isolate this area as much as possible from the front door noise and check on your pet frequently to make sure they’re doing okay and let them know you’re okay, too. Consider using a white noise machine near your pup’s safe spot to drown out the noise from the trick or treaters.If your pup is really in distress, leave the candy outside in a bowl for a self-serve option that doesn’t include doorbells or strangers.Make sure your pup doesn’t get into any of the treats that aren’t his/her – candy can be highly toxic to dogs, especially those that contain xylitol and chocolate. Wrappers are also very dangerous for them. If they do get into the candy, call poison control or go to an emergency pet hospital. Two numbers to keep handy: 800-222-1222 or 999 426 4435 Also, keep inedible objects like glow sticks and other small costume accessories out of their curious reach – those can be dangerous as well.Consider another alternative to staying home: see if there are any dog-friendly Halloween parades or activities in your area. Doing this will help keep your pet from the never-ending doorbell barrage – and it will also allow others to see his/her costume. Tips for dressing your dog in a Halloween costume: Plan: You need a week or so to help your pup get used to the costume. Pick a safe costume: something that will not impede your dog’s movement or breathing and that’s not too hot. Take the time to help your pup sniff and investigate the costume: lay the outfit on the floor near your dog. When your dog goes to investigate and sniff, praise and toss a treat. Do this for several minutes a day for a few days until your dog seems comfortable (and not scared!) around the new item. After a few days of investigation and sniffing, drape the costume over your pup. Immediately take it off, give good praise, then give several treats. Repeat a few more times over a few days. Try it on! Gently and slowly put the costume on your doggo while showering him/her with praise and tons of treats. Take the outfit off. Repeat this step, but lengthen the amount of time your pup is wearing the costume before taking it off again.Supervise! Always supervise your dog when he/she is wearing the costume. Dealing with Costume Characters While on the Street Try to walk your dog before dark. Keep the dog on a short leash and cross the street to avoid costumed groups or individuals. Keep plenty of treats on hand. If you come upon some costumed strangers, get your pup to focus on you and give him/her plenty of treats. Cross the street first or give your dog some distance right away if they seem stressed or scared. Stop the treats once the individuals have walked away. Resume the treat fest only in the presence of other trick or treaters.Go to a Halloween parade and feed your pup his/her dinner or give them tons of yummy treats for the duration of the event. Stay at a far enough distance from the parade that will keep your pup’s stress level low. As long as your puppy is eating the treats, he/she is okay. If not, then create more distance and resume the treating. It’s perfectly okay to go home if the pup’s stress level is not getting better. Check for behavioural signs that indicate your dog may be frightened or stressed. (if so, shorten your routine).Consider taking your dog away from the neighbourhood, to a dog park or similar space, where they won’t be as likely to encounter costumed strangers. Most importantly, you, as the dog parent, must stay calm and relaxed. Your pup will pick up on your anxious energy (as you may naturally be worried about how your puppy will react) and automatically think the trick or treaters are a threat. Instead, stay loose and relaxed with a calm voice.  Read the full article
