Hey Collingwood friends, it’s time for some tips to keep kids and dogs safe this holiday season.
The holidays are very stressful for dogs and accidents can happen when dogs get overwhelmed (in fact there are more bites to kids by family dogs at this time of year than any other).
Here’s the most important tip: Teach your kids to stand like a tree:
1) stop
2) fold your branches (hands folded in front)
3) watch your roots grow (look at feet)
4) count your breaths in and out until the dog goes away
Learn this and more the fun way with the Doggone Crazy board game from https://doggonecrazy.ca/doggone-crazy-boardgame/. Makes a great gift from grandparents! Created by two Collingwood residents. Made in Canada!
$10 from each game will be donated to the mobile soup kitchen.
Order by December 17th for home delivery in Ontario and by December 24th for pick up in Collingwood.
It’s my brother’s favourite game. Whenever people come up to the cottage the first thing he does is get out the Doggone Crazy! and makes everyone play it. Kate – Age 10
Doggone Crazy! is the first board game in a long time to keep my kids attention…they played the game so much that I wasn’t allowed to touch the game for review until the week-end was over. Alyice Edrich, The Dabbling Mum – National Parenting Magazine
One of my clients credits your lesson in standing like a tree for saving her young child from a mauling when 2 aggressive dogs escaped from next door and circled the child, barking and growling. Kerry Vinson, Canine Behavior Consultant – Ontario, Canada
