Barking Up The Wrong Tree

Dog Advent Calendars

Well it’s taken about a week but my dog has finally got the idea of the advent calendar.

For the uninitiated, yes there are actually advent calendars for dogs out there and I buy one every year for my dog.

However, if you aren’t aware, the chocolate inside is made especially for dogs as real human chocolate can be very dangerous, in fact poisonous to dogs.

Every year, I buy my dog an advent calendar and on the 1st December I put it on the floor, try to find the number one as she sniffs around the calendar and generally gets in my way, then we open the number one and I lift out the chocolate onto the calendar and she picks it up.

It generally takes about a week before she gets the idea and starts getting excited when I pick up the advent calendar each night.

I highly recommend getting one for your dog and they’re only a couple of quid. You can get them with biscuits inside instead of chocolate if you want.
