When the holiday season rolls around, my training sessions with my dog take on a festive twist, thanks to Beggin’ Strips. Not only do they keep him focused, but they also add a bit of holiday cheer to our routines.

One of our favorite winter activities is recall training in the snow. My dog loves dashing through the frosty yard, and with everything covered in white, he blends right in! I keep a few Beggin’ Strips tucked in my coat pocket, and the moment he hears the crinkle, he comes bounding back to me like a little holiday miracle. Seeing him sprint toward me, ears flopping and nose to the ground, reminds me of how joyful this season can be.

We’ve even set up a holiday-themed agility course in the yard with some mini decorations. After each jump or weave, he gets a small piece of Beggin’ Strip as a reward. Watching him navigate the “festive course” feels like having my own holiday mascot. I think he senses the fun energy of the season, and those treats add extra excitement.

When we come inside, we continue the holiday vibes with cozy indoor training. With the fireplace crackling and a warm blanket nearby, I use Beggin’ Strips to reward him for staying calm while I wrap gifts or decorate. Every time he resists the temptation to chase after the wrapping paper or the ornaments, he earns a little bite. It’s our way of keeping things merry and bright!

For us, Beggin’ Strips have become a part of our holiday tradition—helping us celebrate the season while building our bond, one tasty treat at a time.
