Another lockdown? Extra hiking time!
Unfortunately, the Netherlands has been in a lockdown since this week. In other countries, too, a cosy get-together at home around a fireplace is probably out of the question. Because social contact is something we have to limit as much as possible in the coming period. Luckily, you can still go outside and take a long walk with the dog. And with the jackets from Owney Outdoor, dog owners are certainly well equipped.

A safe New Year’s Eve for dog and owner
The year 2021 is almost over. While we ring in the New Year with a bang, New Year’s Eve doesn’t feel like a celebration for most of our four-legged friends. The loud bangs and bright flashes of light don’t contribute to your dogs happyness. On the contrary, fireworks often cause a lot of anxiety and stress for pets, especially if they also have to go outside. These 5 tips will help your dog get through New Year’s Eve.
Tip 1: Recognize stress in your dog
Many people have no idea when their dog is scared. Of course, dogs cant talk, but you can tell a lot from their behaviour and posture. For example, you can see that the dog is overly alert, walks around nervous and restless, doesnt want to eat and keeps running away. Less obvious is when the dog adopts a low body posture. The ears can go flat or sideways. In addition, some dogs lick their lips a lot, pant and yawn when they are frightened.
Tip 2: Relaxed atmosphere in the house
Make sure things are as normal as possible in the house at the turn of the year, and that the dog feels save and at home. Turn on the radio or television so it’s not quiet in the house. Close the curtains and turn on the lights. Above all, make sure that the dog can get to his own safe hiding place or favourite place and that there’s water and food there. Does your four-legged friend want to snuggle up to you? Protect your furniture and offer extra shelter with a nice dog blanket. EQuest 4dogs, for example, offers fine dog blankets as well as dog pillows.
Tip 3: Provide distractions
Distractions can help the dog reduce stress or anxiety. For example, give the dog a bone to chew on. Even better are mind games, which really force the dog to focus on something else. For example, play hide-and-seek with a favourite toy or give a ball with treats. Distracting the dog may not always be easy. If the dog is hiding in a safe place, just let him lie there.
Tip 4: Go outside well prepared
Around New Year’s Eve, fireworks can be a real headache for dog and owner. An unexpected bang can make the dog panic and try to run away. That is why you should make sure that your dog has an extra tight leash during this period. The best thing is a harness, because that garment is impossible for a dog to get out of. EQDOG and DOG Copenhagen, for example, offer excellent and very reliable harnesses, collars and leashes. Take an extra long morning walk on New Year’s Eve and do a final round early in the evening. And make sure that your dog is visible so that people with firework notice you well ahead.
Tip 5: Stay calm
For many dogs, their own boss is the centre of their lives. Your behaviour therefore has a big effect on the dog’s behaviour. Are you acting nervous? The dog will pick up on that. So, just stay calm and act as if the bangs are normal. Relax and watch TV or play a game with the family. The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed the dog will be.
