Puppy proof your home before you choose a puppy dog. Puppies are fun. They
love to explore and we just love to watch them – and we let them get away with
more than they should.
A new puppy is all fangs and paws and he is going to use all of them to test the
environment. That means something will be chewed or swallowed, something
will get broken or ripped, someone is going to get upset and someone is going
to get told off.
Believe me, this can happen but you can reduce the problem dramatically if you
prepare your home before getting the puppy.
Treat this exercise as a home coming for a newly adopted baby – which is what
he is – only more so. He is going to want to explore because that’s what
puppies do. He’s going to be clumsy and knock into things and he’s going to
want to taste things.
This is all fine and dandy but it can have consequences.
Imagine that he grabs a corner of that nice linen table cloth that’s been in the
family for years. Okay, you saved it but not before he knocked over the vase of
flowers. Was it Waterford crystal? Maybe not but was glass and it shattered in a
thousand pieces which scattered everywhere. You’ll still be finding shards of
glass weeks later - no matter how well you vacuum - and maybe in your new
puppy’s feet.
It doesn’t need to happen if you get your house puppy proofed before he
comes home.
Use the preparation checklist of tips for making your home safe from disaster
when the little tornado comes home. I have tested them all with Archie. If you can
think of any more, please email me and I will add them to the list.
Don’t be put off by the length of the list. It is all common sense and if you restrict
him to certain areas until he has completed his training, it will be so simple.
Take a little time now, you are going to enjoy your new puppy all the more.
First you need to decide which areas are out of bounds and which are not, then
secure the non-restricted areas both indoors and outside.
