- Even the most calm and well-mannered dogs can become overwhelmed in a new environment full of new people. Before arrival, ask the host whether: there’s everywhere your dog can relax if they seem agitated or anxious. Consider bringing a small bed or comfort item, such as a blanket with your scent on it, to help calm your dog if Thanksgiving gets too intense for him. You can also bring a small, lightweight, portable crate for quiet time.
