A dog treat jar is one way to help make your new dog a part of the family. Of course, your dog could care less about a dog treat jar, all it wants is what’s inside. The dog treat jar is for you and especially that member of the family – maybe your husband or wife – that did not want the dog to start with.
You see, an item like a dog treat jar, simple as it may seem, helps to make your pet a member of the family accepted by everyone. Think about it. Your son or daughter has school drawings on the refrigerator, your husband or wife might have their own home office with their jar of paper clips or pens, or you might have a nightstand all your own.
Each member of the family associates “this thing” to who they are, part of what makes them unique. It is “Dad’s desk”, “Mom’s nightstand”, or “Brother’s spot on the ‘fridge”.
When the family or visitors see the dog treat jar, they start to get the idea that your dog is not just “the dog”. It is a member of the family, with its own unique thing sitting there on the kitchen counter top as an affirmation of its place in the family.
Asking the reluctant family member to get Fido a treat from the jar can start warming that person up to the presence of the new family pet because that person is reaching into something permanent – the treat jar – and not just going into the pantry and digging through the bag of dog treats. The dog treat jar in a way helps that family member to know the dog is here and is a part of the family.
Just like with any appliance or accessory, you want to find a dog treat jar that fits your home’s decor and your style. If you already have ceramic sugar or cookie jars of a certain pattern or theme, then look for a ceramic dog treat jar with similar colors and patterns. You should be able to find one that fits naturally within your kitchen since this is the place most likely that you will keep your dog treat jar.
There are also dog treat jars made of glass if that is your preferred style and you can get them personalized and in various shapes and designs. As a novelty, you might look for a singing or talking dog treat jar or one in the shape of a fire hydrant. In short, find the custom dog treat jar that fits your home as a way to naturally make your dog a member of the home.
Just like all things you possess, the dog treat jar is simply a thing until it is bought and lovingly placed and used in the home. This is when it is no longer just a thing, but part of your home that now includes the dog you love.
