To protect your Christmas tree from a dog, you can try the following methods:
1. Secure the tree to the wall using fishing line or cable ties to prevent it from tipping over.
2. Place a sturdy metal or wooden fence around the tree to create a physical barrier that the dog can't cross.
3. Sprinkle some cayenne pepper or citrus essential oils around the tree to deter the dog from getting too close.
4. Redirect the dog's attention by providing them with their own festive toys and treats.
