This week's podcast episode is an excerpt from a live conversation that I had with a panel of Licensed Family Dog Mediators and Family Dog Specialists. This lively discussion includes Justine, founder of The Family Dog, Jennifer, founder of Family Paws, and Debby, founder of KAD, Kids Around Dogs. We talk about different strategies about how to make Halloween less spooky for your family dog.

Halloween topics we discuss include:

• preventing the dog from escaping through the front door
• how to read our dog's body language to identify stress
• should we dress dogs up in Halloween costumes
• if dogs should go trick or treating with the family
• dangerous ingredients for dogs
• how to manage excited and overly friendly dogs
• family appropriate activities for dogs during Halloween

Thank you for listening!
