How To Puppy Proof Your Home

Before welcoming home that puppy you’ve been dreaming of, there are a few keys ways that your can prepare your home to be puppy-friendly:

• Your house. Hide electrical cords. Hunt for and hide small objects your puppy can chew or choke on. Get guardrails for stairs, low windows, and balconies. Invest in mats or runners for slippery hallways. Place poisonous plants in high spots—or give them to dogless friends.

• Your kitchen and bathroom. Put safety latches on any cabinet with cleaning supplies or poison. Keep plastic bags out of your puppy’s reach, and secure your garbage can.

• Your yard. Make sure your yard is escape-proof. Put a fence around your pool—or keep your puppy away from it. Make sure chemicals, fertilizers, and sharp garden tools are off-limits.

• Always supervise. That’s indoors and out. If you can’t supervise, put your puppy in a confinement/safe area with a toy.
