Puppy-proof your home.
Puppies go through a chewing stage for much of their first year.
Remember, puppy hood is the time your new dog will be most charming AND
most destructive. It won’t last forever. Be patient.
Check out your fence for holes or cracks in the gate where a small puppy
could escape. If you don't have a fence, never leave your puppy outside
unattended. A puppy, like a toddler, will wander off and doesn't know the
dangers in a street. It's a good idea to never allow your puppy to be off a leash
when outside without a fence.
Puppies go through a chewing stage for much of their first year.
- Put up items close to the floor you don’t want him chewing or that could
be dangerous to him like power cords to lamps. - Beware of house plants—many are lethal to animals.
- Buy a safe, commercial repellent spray that can be applied to furniture
legs or woodwork that will discourage your puppy from doing damage. - Until he’s older and can be trusted, decide where in the house you don’t
want him to go and put up baby gates. Most puppies can be taught to
not enter certain rooms. Like not to go into a room if there is carpet.
