In the final episode of the Dog Works Radio Christmas puppy series, Michele Forto shifts the conversation from warnings to solutions. Instead of focusing on why holiday puppies often lead to stress, this episode lays out a calmer, more intentional path for bringing a dog into your home. Michele explains why timing matters more than sentiment, how you can gift the idea of a dog without harming a real one, and why fostering during the holidays can be an eye-opening, meaningful step for families. If you’re considering a dog but want to do it responsibly, this episode gives you the blueprint for a better beginning. And if you bring home a puppy anyway, Alaska Dog Works is ready to guide you with a free strategy call.
