Keeping your home clean and in good shape takes constant work and effort. This gets even harder when you have pets. Are you bringing home a new puppy? Not only do you want to keep it safe, you also want to keep it from destroying your home. Let’s discuss some practical tips.
First of all, assess what you have in your home. Do you have small items that could be choking hazards? Puppies love to investigate everything with their mouths, so be sure there is nothing small they could accidentally swallow. Tie up any curtain cords so they don’t get tangled up. Also, make sure they do not chew on power cords. Secure cabinets that contain food or chemicals. Using baby locks on the cabinets can be helpful if they are easy to get into.
Many people use baby gates to keep their new puppy in one section of the house and then allow them more freedom as they are properly trained. If you do allow your puppy to roam, make sure to keep your valuable items from their reach, as they like to chew on everything. Have a good stain remover available in case of any potty accidents on your carpet.
