Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- childproof latches
- cord runners
- baby gate
-
Step 1
Keep small objects out of your dog's reach. Puppies like to chew and can accidentally swallow things like jewelry and coins.
-
Step 2
Replace potentially harmful plants with non-toxic or artificial ones. Some common household plants such as carnations and daffodils are actually toxic to dogs. Consult your veterinarian for a complete list.
-
Step 3
Use child proof latches on all lower cabinets to keep dogs from getting into something harmful (such as cleaning supplies.)
-
Step 4
Cover electrical cords with cord runners. Chewing cords can cause electrocution.
-
Step 5
Use baby gates at the top of stairs. Puppies are a little clumsy and can easily fall.
-
Step 6
Keep garbage cans out of reach. Ingesting items found in the trash (like bones or dental floss) can cause serious harm.
