I think you should get a moving train to go around the tree.
Maybe you should place it a little further out around the tree.
Then your pet/pets will probaly pay more attention to the moving
train then the tree.
Then on christmas if you plan on putting presents around/under the tree, remove the train while everyone opens thier presents.

Animals are sensitive to smell, so pure some pepper around the tree on the floor or even on the bottom part of the tree. Something with a strong smell that the pet wouldn't like will keep it away from the tree.

The day you bring a pet home is the day you start to build a relationship
with them. They get to learn what it is they are allowed to do and what you
do not want them to do. They pick up on certain words, actions, and I
think they can even read your facial expressions. When you have a good
rapport with your pets they will know that you are displeased when they
go near the tree. If they continue to do so then they are obviously showing
you that they don't care what you think. Spend more time with this pet.
Give it more attention. Show respect. Build a better relationship. They
will respond. Once you have a rapport built on trust and love they will
not need to act out in order to get your attention.

Try Keep Off! spray its a Dog & Cat Repellent you can get at the pet store, Its worked good this year for our Christmas tree!
You can also put pennys in a coke can and shake it real hard every time they go for tree, that works to.

put in a water sprinkler a few drops of lemon and eucalyptus essential oils, and shake well. spray the tree with that, and every time the animal tries to get to the tree, spray them a little bit too. The HATE the smell of strong oils, but it's harmless.
You get a win-win situation: the tree smells nice and the animal stays away.

What my friend did is she hung her tree from the celing, she tried lots but nothing worked, so she hung it from the ceiling, 2 or 3 feet of the ground, and her dogs didn't bother it again. All I did was sit a stuffed dog that my dogs didn't like in front of the tree, but I also think a baby gate keeping them out of that room is much easier and less hassle.

I have had cats who wouldn't leave it alone...would come home from work everyday and pick it up off the floor and rehang ornaments. The cat and dog I have now, they don't even bother it. My dogs tail is a problem when he gets to close, he's a Golden Retriever (big tail). Don't put any glass, or breakable ornaments on the lower 1/2 of the tree.

One year when I was a child I had a Scotch Pine Xmas tree and a kitten who would not stop climbing up the tree. One time she climbed up and stabbed her paw on one of the pine needles so she stopped on her own. Try a water bottle when the cat begins to climb and they should eventually get the hint that it is a no no

you have to make a fence of some kind. Latticework, or a little picket fence. You can get that stuff at Wal-Mart.
