2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures.

We're having sort of similar problems - when my hubby first put our tree up, our dog went straight over to it and tried to lift his leg to mark it... We've just been body blocking him and redirecting his attention when he goes for it. It's been working fabulously so far - no issues since.

I would either gate it or restrict his access to the room.

If you have some time while you are home with him, sit in the room with the tree. When he goes near it to put his mouth on it, leash him quick and bring him out of the room. When he's calm and okay, let him back in. Repeat. Do this several times and he should get the hint "When I go near the tree, mom locks me out of the room."

Regardless, I would baby gate off the room and NEVER let him have access to it unsupervised. There are lots of things on a Christmas tree that can kill any dog.

Good luck! And welcome to the forum Smile

unfortunately our issue with the tree isn't the dogs, it's the stupid cat. he's knocked every ornament off the tree, resulting in the dogs chewing and breaking them all Sad ours is artificial so the cat also knocked half the branches off, and the star's hanging off the top.

I've never had any issues with the dogs and the tree. This will be our first year with Ranger and a tree so we shall see how that goes if I ever get around to putting one up.
When our cats were younger and less lazy we used to have the problem of them knocking the ornaments off. So I hot glued the tops on all of the glass ornaments so they couldn't pull them apart and then off and all the ornaments have the metal hooks and I just wrap them twice around the branches rather than just hanging them.

We only had issues last year with things hung to low. We learned real fast. We are getting our tree next weekend and will be crating them when we are not home for everyones safty. We have no way to block them from it

That's what I'm sayin'. Koda has no interest whatsoever in the tree! When we put it up the first year we had him, he was 8 months, I was so worried he'd go crazy.. it was a great surprise to learn he didn't care!

Mya doesn't care for the tree either, but Kody seems to like to run around it. Mind you it's not like it's very fall from the wall behind it, but he's little so he fits. He also pulled a branch or 2 off, but it's not too bad so far. If he knocks my pretty tree over I'm going to very upset..lol

Thankfully Siku doesn't mess with our tree. There was one ornament that she thought was really cool, but after the first couple trys of getting it and us yelling at her, she stopped. We don't leave her alone with the tree though.
One of my cats thought trees tasted yummy last year and would chew the bottom branches. He'd eat so much he'd throw up every time. I think he finally learned his lesson and hasn't touched this tree yet, thankfully.
